Harris Peppermint Oil Mice & Rodent Repellent Spray for House and Car Engines, Humane Mouse Trap Substitute, 20oz

Very strong smelling to keep bats from perching in the porch ceiling. Just spray throughly in the areas they like to perch in. Definitely spray with the wind behind you or you'll get this on you and it is very strong smelling. A good humane deterrent.

We had something getting under our hood and chewing on stuff. One time, whatever it was had left us a nice smelly present right on the engine cover, front and center... Right on the oil fill.. So, I cleaned it up, had no problems for a few months and then something got in again and started chewing things, also making the air going into the cabin from conditioning smell not so good, smh. We couldn't take any more of this and needed a solution immediately. Especially before any real damage was done! After much research, peppermint seemed to be something cheap that I commonly came across as a potential fix to the problem besides purchasing devices to test out. So, after spraying some of this around the engine bay I was kind of worried because the smell of peppermint is somewhat strong during application, and I don't want my cabin smelling this strongly. But, to my surprise, you barely even notice it inside the car in comparison, and after a bit of time you barely notice it at all.So, to wrap this up, I haven't noticed the problem since applying this under the hood. I even bought some pure peppermint oil and added a few drops to make it stronger. Since it seemingly worked so well normally, I figured a bit more peppermint may even help out any neighboring cars in close proximity when parked in our lot.So far so good, haven't noticed any critters since, and car smells so much better now when you cut on the air. Now just got to fork over the bill to have the air ducts and engine bay cleaned out to completely rid it of any residual. Spray again after...So far so good. I'd recommend it based on my experience so far. It seems to work as advertised. I will just say it could be cheaper though.

The product is good for the ants.. the smell is very strong peppermint like scent and it will linger on for a awhile ..not good for the kids with respiratory problem or breathing problem. My grandkids was coughing so bad I had to take them out side for awhile..

We’ve been battling a little mouse friend who continues to get into our car.I did some research and found this spray- it had great reviews.Unfortunately, it didn’t work for us. We sprayed this EVERYWHERE, but our little mouse friend kept coming back.The spray was strong, but pleasant enough if you enjoy the oils/peppermint smell.Finally caught the little buggar with a catch/release trap and a honey roasted peanut!Will keep the spray and continue to use as needed in case it works in the future

Bought this stuff 5 years ago, then did not use it for a while. Years, then the squirrels came back and ate $800 worth of wiring in my car. If you use this stuff, you need to re spray every couple of years or sooner.

If you're ok with spending $17.99 to make your home smell nice, rather than spending $1 for an air freshener spray, then this is the product for you. If you're looking to prevent mice from entering and remaining in your house, look elsewhere.I live in a rural area, so mice are an expected nuisance, especially in the cold temperatures of winter. I don't believe in killing any living creatures, so I use humane traps to catch mice, and then relocate them far enough away that they won't return. In researching how to prevent mice from entering my home in the first place, I read that peppermint oil has a scent that repels rodents, so I decided to give this non-toxic solution a try. This particular product's description and reviews sounded promising, so I gave it a try. That was a mistake.I sprayed this product all around the inside and outside of my house: interior and exterior walls, window sills and doorframes, any possible entry points, and spots where I had recently caught mice. I repeated this process several times within the past 11 days. I was worried about how the spray would smell, but it actually has a very pleasant scent, which wafted throughout my home. The pleasing aroma ended up being the only benefit of using this brand of spray. Unfortunately, mice seem to enjoy the smell too.During the 11 days that I have sprayed Harris Peppermint Oil Mice & Rodent Repellent Spray, I have caught a total of 9 mice, always in spots that were doused with this repellent. Apparently mice are not repelled by this scent at all. They have not left my home, and they have not stopped entering my home. This "repellent" has not deterred them one bit. Since squirrels are also rodents, I was worried that spraying this product all around the outside of my house would deter them from eating from the feeders on my porch. It has not. All 13 of the squirrels are still congregating on my porch all day every day.I'm not sure if peppermint oil truly works as a rodent repellent or not. This particular product, Harris Peppermint Oil Mice & Rodent Repellent Spray, smells great, but is completely ineffective at repelling mice. If you want your house to smell nice, save yourself some money, and buy a $1 air freshener spray. If you want to keep mice out of your home, try something else...

Seems to be working..

I had a major infestation of mice. When I say major I mean MAJOR! I killed 55 mice in traps (well actually my dog killed 8) I sprayed and sprayed and sprayed this and it smells good. You have to have a love of peppermint though! I felt like I was living in a gingerbread house. Strong smell. I did notice that when I sprayed it on the counters, the mice stayed off the counters. Cleaning was a little easier because I cleaned and disinfected daily! I opened a bottom cabinet and there were four varmints running all over one another trying to get out! I closed the door, got a bat, but only got one and dog got one. Sprayed around my stove as mice like your insulation, and this spray helped a lot with that. Why don't they make peppermint candles if mice hate the smell of peppermint? This helped though not as good as traps and plugging holes where they get in (and the bat). Got mice when neighbors moved out and mice just moved to my house.
