SO DID I,🕷🕸🐜
I find this method works best with two tea bags: as long as I hold one over each eye, I’ll see no mice or spiders.
What?????😁😀😄
LOL! That is funny. But, yes, peppermint essential oil or peppermint tea or peppermint spray products from your nearest big box store or Amazon all really do get rid of spiders, ants, mice, flies, moths, and raccoons. Not sure it works for bears but spritzing ammonia in the trash can does keep bears away from the trash.
Ha! Ha!Ha!
😂😂😂😂😂
😂 Honestly it were so simple and worked quickly then more people would be doing it. Of course it might help and wouldn’t hurt anything.
I put peppermint essential oil in my room to prevent mice coming in. I made sure it was overpowering even for me and never heard mice in my room again
The peppermint spray scent doesn't last long....so they just go somewhere else.....there should be something to get rid of them..... a person can vac. every day.....
I always say if it u don't like the smell then a mice wouldn't Neither
I found one run across my living room while I was working remotely from home.
I would have never known I had one in the house if I had continued working at the office also they had been doing some work downstairs for me in a studio apartment and I have a funny feeling all the noise and all the racket chased them upstairs and that the rat problem started down there and probably would have remained downstairs if all that work has been done and so they scattered looking for a new home and I was the victim did it work for you really because I'm testing it out now and you're saying to make it a little bit stronger will it bother my cat in house
@@laurie-annebollaro9746 did it work ?
Do you dilute it with water and if so, at what ratio?
I put tea bags around my house. I caught the mice making tea.
And looking around for biscuits ; )
That's funny !
Good one

one thing I always have a problem with this guy is he always takes forever getting to the point.

@@sweetglory ... For some males that would be a relationship saver 😋
Been using peppermint oil for a looooong time. But I just put a few drops on a cotton ball and leave it in the kitchen cabinets, under the sink, etc. Refresh with another 2 drops every 3 months.
Old farmers trick, cloves keep mice at bay. Try it. I had them living in my ac unit over the winter. Added cloves and mice be gone.
Thanks for watching!
Raw clove or clove oil ?
@@IndoUS1720 just the raw cloves as fresh as you can get them. I've never tried the oil.
@@Richard-nb4iv thank you brother. Will definitely try this..
Just cloves, no garlic. It's a known garnish for cooking. Garlic won't work.
Seeing a spider before your eyes is not a problem. The problem starts when it is gone
This is so true--keep an eye on them....
Absolutely!
@Abe Garfield i be like, lets do search and destroy operation 😂
@@katherineprongos3929 i did, but when i have something else to do, and i came back to where i spotted it and i was like DAMN, it already gone, just where did that freaky creature go. I started to panic then 😪
Yes, the spider disappears and you suddenly start scratching like hell!
Cinnamon sticks in the windows, peppermint oil and diluted white vinegar to clean. Stash little nylon socks with baking soda and peppermint/citronella drops in things like cupboards, dark places the spiders stay.
Yes! Keeps ants away too! Eucalyptus oil works too.
Thank you. Greatly appreciated.
I use peppermint/spearmint in diffusers in the rooms that have a problem. Lavender also works at keeping spiders at bay. a few drops in a spray bottle with water and spray the corners of the room.
Thanks for watching!
That's what I'm using right now the lavender keep them out thee room for sure.
Apparently the spiders over here like thee lavender. 😳
If they leave I am fine with it, but I don't want to kill them.
Thank you. Very helpful and safe. Blessings
Brew peppermint tea and put bags in corners of affected room or areas where mice or spiders might be ... mix peppermint oil, cinnamon oil and lemon oil, with water in spray bottle and spray around baseboards and windows ... maybe up in corners once a week where they are problematic... I would use this in my store room and around exterior spots on my patio where spiders like to be... they really like the window recesses ... and around the porch light
I started using the products that use peppermint essential oil a few years ago. I mostly spray it outside around the entrances and vents and it really did get rid of moths, flies, ants, spiders, mice, and raccoons. And I only sprayed once a week maybe for a month at the most and then all of it was gone.
We had a flea infestation in our house, and after trying chemical methods, which was hard on an allergic family, my sister told me how she’d covered the floors with fresh mint, left it for 24 hours, then cleaned it out, and the fleas were gone. We had friends with an overgrowth of peppermint, so we tried it and it worked. Vacuuming up the leaves filled the house with a beautiful minty fragrance, which had the effect of lifting our spirits.
Diatomaceous earth for fleas & all insects. Don't let it get wet. It's silica/glass, insects love to eat it, so imagine eating shards of glass.
Peppermint essential oil drops on cotton balls placed in my crawl space did make a skunk find another place to live. It worked immediately. And my whole house smelled like chewing gum for weeks.

Is this true?
I would imagine, as far as the smell goes, like every solution to life's problems you must choose the lesser of the two evils...I'd prefer a clean mint smell to my home to cleaning up mice crap. Guess there's a reason they make chewing gum smell "minty fresh"!
@@debjudisch5548 you reminded me - mint gum!! if u put a piece ( i leave it in foil loosely closed) will keep the weevils? out your flour. An exes grandmother told me about it and it has worked for me!
That is true with the peppermint but peppermint also attracts Flys so you can have peppermint plants outside yes there will be lots of Flys but they won't be in the house neither will mice
I tried this and it works!!! For the rats, I use a dropper and saturate cotton balls. I haven't seen any rats in my house, but I hear them in the attic. After placing the cotton balls in the corners and sticking them up in the ceiling vents, they disappeared overnight! In the past, I have stuffed brillo pads in areas on the exterior of my house that may be big enough for them to squeeze through. Those suckers have occasionally pulled the brillo pads out since they can't chew them, but when I put peppermint oil on them and stuck them back in, they haven't touched them. For the spiders, I use the spray bottle method. I haven't seen a spider since I did this, but I did see a dead waterbug in the downstairs guest bathtub. I will forever use this remedy! Peppermint oil isn't necessarily cheap, but if you're into chemical and pesticide free as well as cruelty free methods, this is the best that I've found.
Peppermint is very easy plant to grow, as a matter of fact it's almost too easy. It can be invasive. You might try planting some in some pots or maybe in a raised bed where it can't take over. You can make tea from that and it would be considerably cheaper
Uyh
I think that I got a rat problem in my upper in law apartment and I definitely gonna do this!! My cat keeps them outta our home!!!
How often do I need to apply more peppermint oil to the cotton balls?
I used peppermint soap by bonners..I use it on my.patio and it kept pack rats away..its really pepperminty..
Please make sure to keep peppermint and certain other essential oils away from your cats as they lack an enzyme in their livers to break them down. It can kill them if it is ingested or gets on their skin - even causing problems if there is too much in the air from a diffuser. Maybe that is why it keeps mice away. Maybe they lack the same enzyme.
What about dogs ?? Thank you.
@@firepixie3820 I just copied this quick from a Google search. Looks like it is toxic to dogs also.
"Some essential oils are poisonous to dogs. This includes oil of cinnamon, citrus, pennyroyal, peppermint, pine, sweet birch, tea tree (melaleuca), wintergreen, and ylang ylang. These oils are toxic whether ingested by mouth or spread on the skin.Apr 3, 2018"
@@Chaotic313 THANK YOU.. I think they should have included that....
@@firepixie3820 AGREED!!
Glad I wasn't the only one to post this!
For spiders I use a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water, s couple of drops of unscented disb soap and 15-30 drops of either peppermint or tea tree essential oil. Just mist where they line to make their webs, baseboards, windowsills, and door jams. Refresh once every week or 2
can i not use unscented dish soap?
Vinegar is such an all purpose useful thing to have in your house. I'll bet that a vinegar and water alone mix could be effective.
Spiders are cool don't know why people can't just leave them alone.
Cheers from Australia where we have some beauties 👍
@@ppmppm7010 A lot of us just get creeped out by spiders we can't help it. From some of the pictures I've seen , you folks down under have some real big boys crawling around!
@@gregorylapointe4157 We do 🤣🤣
I was able to get rid of 2 house mice using a bottle of cheap mint alcohol mouthwash. I clean all surfaces and floors using mouthwash, and I also leave cotton balls in every room corner, and it really works. It doesn't dry out fast, and even when it's dry mice won't get anywhere near
Thanks for sharing, I'm definitely going to use this method today.
@@tinashannon224 And if you run out of mouthwash, you can use any mint toothpaste + water. They just hate mint because it's too powerful for their small lungs, and your home will smell great too
thanks
@@Francesca_Lettuceshreds vinegar as well
Thank you for sharing these great tips.
You don't want to get rid of all the spiders, they keep other bugs under control.
Would that be the type in Pixar's Bugs life ?
It's years since I watched that.
Right. Just the ones you see 8-), gettem before they disappear!
I'd rather have the bugs.
Larger spiders will deal with the mice as well
Thank you very much for this info.
Very informative. To make the video better is go STRAIGHT TO THE POINT
So: brewed teabag in every corner... including peppermint teabag ... and if you don't have a teabag, fill a spray bottle with peppermint oil --- 14 drops --- & water,
about half in half (?), and spray along the baseboards, (what we call skirting boards, in Ireland & Britain). Would that be right?
Yes - the voice was loud and annoying.
@@sohara.... Thank you 🙏
I have used so much peppermint oil all over my room and this mouse just walks right through it! Maybe he can’t smell? I hate him!
@@valerysavage4150 try a B.B. Gun. Or a Hammer.
Peppermint oil and water in spray bottle, spray where you see ants and pinpoint where they are entering..they will be gone fast. I’m guessing doing the same for mice. Spray every corner and point of entry.
Does that work for rats too???
It's the peppermint . Gets rid of other bugs too , and some relatives .
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
For mice use irish spring bar soap. Break it into peices and put it in hard to reach areas. Keeps smelling fresh for years and since i found this my basement is free of rodents and my camper hasnt had one since ive done this. It really works and I dont have to replace it.
Robert Castleberry I had droppings on my battery on my car, and my mechanic told me to put pieces of Irish spring bar soap. I was skeptic at first, but it does work. The mouse/mice were hanging at my car during the winter time to stay warm on my car battery. A Tip: To get cheap Irish Spring bars, go to a 99 cents store, I found that out later :)
They ate ten bars in my 7 x 10 shed last winter!!! Plus tons of poison, lots of dead mice!
This did not work at all for me. I put halves of Irish Spring around in my basement - the mice ignored the soap. I got battery operated mouse traps and electrocuted them immediately.
I put Irish Spring soap in a garage where rats were. The next day there were huge rat teeth marks in the soap!!!
@@sassylady2001 lolol. In need to find these. Could you please tell me what the name is and where you got them.
This gives "tea-bagging" a whole new meaning.
I have a mouse problem in my home and I love peppermint tea. I will try using this method to get rid of the mice. I hope it will work. Thanks.
Use clear cleaning ammonia.....lace the floor areas where the rodents tend to come around. Some people cannot take the smell but it definitely keeps mice away. Unfortunately, my sense of smell was compromised because I used ammonia on the floors for years when I used to live in the New York City housing projects.
so you want us to lose our smell too ? lol
@@sahardaves 🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️
What do you mean lace the floor? Do you mean mop the floor with ammonia?
Can you place ammonia on cotton balls inside small containers in corners? Cheaper than peppermint oil.
Peppermint oil actually does work on insects and I believe it keeps mice away.
And you can also plant peppermint around your home and that will keep the little buggers away too.
Not to mention your naubores might ask if they can have some to make fresh tea.
🦉
peppermint plants spread and take over, suggest creating a border that goes several inches in the ground around them.
I have mint plants all around my house, I watch the mice walk right through it.
I’ve gotten peppermint oil before, and I love how it made the house smell. I’ll definitely get it again. Dual function. Getting rid of pests and making the house smell awesome!
Yes, Peppermint Oil Absolutely works! 👍 Love the smell as well. 💖😉
A rat came home from work and posted up of our garage. Triedto be nice, it was like 115 during the days so I poured eucalyptus and mint oils down the walls, he stayed but the garage smelled like heaven😊
Yes I used t tree oil and peppermint mice all gone
@@alexandrarodriguez631 try t tree mixed with peppermint
Also lemon grass helps
Very funny and uplifting . keep the good work .
I had mice building a little nest in my motor blower in my car. My mechanic told me to use lavender oil. I also researched and saw peppermint oil works as well. So the next sunny day I am going to try the peppermint and the lavender oil because what I saw that these mice were doing was horrible. And it cost me $200. So I'll try putting it around in my garage too because that's where they like to play with the bugs.
Abner of Oakland. Here in the Compound we have a rat problem. We have had to teach our cats to walk in pairs for their own protection.
Lemon ammonia works fantastic too! And much cheaper, especially at Walmart lol
What about using peppermint oil in a diffuser or something like that? Would that work as well? just curious
Soak a cotton ball with it and put where needed maybe add some tea tree oil too
@@truelyme2715 I also put a cotton ball soaked with it in the bottom of the trash bin, under the bag, helps eliminate odors.
I planted peppermint all around my foundation of my house, no mice after it grew profusely and comes back every year. I have fresh mint for my use also. Boy does it smell good when I mow some of it around the edging close to it!
Thanks for watching!
that's what my grandma used to do I can't find any ment
@@onewordhereonewordthere6975 all men aare become trans
Theoretically it should work. I have tried 100% peppermint essential oils saturated into cotton balls that I placed in corners of my classroom and while not 100% effective it did reduce the problem.
I tried the peppermint spray - it didn't work. The mice laughed at it and kept doing what they do. My friend who had a mouse problems says they use Osage oranges cut in half and set out, replacing them once per year and never see any mice since doing that. I will be trying that this fall when the oranges begin falling from the trees.
How about using just Mint leaves and boil them?
I gotta say I purchased Tomcat rodent repellent just to give it a shot. It’s peppermint oil and garlic oil. I haven’t had a mouse in my basement for weeks. I was surprised but so far so good.
Mark S do you mixed the peppermint and garlic oil with it?
They are probably just avoiding the area. I would.
Thanks for the info. Just check from time to time. Esp. since the weather is getting warmer. Mice like the heat. The cold they don't like.

I had a big Brown Widow spider and her spiderlings in my car😫 I was bitten on my legs by the 'ling-lings'. Very itchy and felt bad all over. I had heard about peppermint oil. I saturated cottonballs with the oil and placed them on frozen canned juice lids I had collected to hold tealights. I then put them throughout the car in areas the oil would not cause damage, such as to the upholstery or plastic interior. It worked! No more spiders inside.
Thanks for watching!
I can't believe I ave been wasting my peppermint teabags all this while,knowledge is indeed power
Mint oil from the health food stores works great..One small 2" square with a couple drops of the oil on a piece of wash cloth or sweatshirt in the trunk and one under the hood stops mice from entering your car.A few squares in in big rooms one in small rooms in your house works well.Re treat the cloth once a month.Not sure about spiders?

Did it work
The mice at the tea bags, pooped in the dish, and the stench of peppermint made me sick to my stomach. Not a win for me.

I once lived in a basement suit that was riddled in spiders and mice. I tried peppermint everything, peppermint essential oil, peppermint tea, fresh peppermint , I put tons of it everywhere as I was terrified and still had spiders and mice everywhere 😫🐁🕷🐁🕷🐁🕷🐁🕷. Finally I got fed up after an entire year of it and moved out.
Moving is the best option. If there is an infestation, it is hard to get rid of them.

tq for info and i really hope it works so the mice can find other places to stay
Wintergreen and eucalyptus work fairly well, but the smell disappears quickly. So it constantly has to be redone.
Peppermint is also good for wasps or villa oil. Lavender plants or lemon oil or orange peel keep cats out of your garden 😁😂👍
Has anyone had results with boiling the peppermint tea and then just adding drops of the peppermint oil to make the tea bag last longer than just three weeks? It would seem to me that it could last much longer adding drops of the oil to the tea bags
Many people just do peppermint oil on cotton balls (in a little dish or something so nothing gets oily). I'm told it has to be a certain type of peppermint, but Idk. (Keep away from cats.) I've got mothballs in the attic now bc mice & squirrels (which is what I had!) can't stand strong smells. I'm also going to be hanging blinking Christmas lights up there bc they're supposed to be bothered by that. (I can't afford the recommended strobe light right now.)
I had forgotten how terrible this channel is & am reading through comments to see if there's good advice regarding spiders.
Get a mint plant or lavender plant, take cuttings off it and put them in small pots near all the windows. They will repel bugs and other pests.
That doesn't work, I ve even bought peppermint essential oil and sprayed it.. just saying
peppermint deters but will only keep them away from a small area like cupboards and has to be applied every few days. I doubt tea is stronger than essential oils so likely would not be as effective.
Many thanks for your remedy
The peppermint smells great but doesn’t work so great. It work some but you have to do it everyday not once a week.
we tried that too,,,and more came in

10-15 drops peppermint oil into a spray bottle of water. Repeat weekly.
Or
Brew 4 teabags into a spray bottle of water.. leaving the teabags in. Replace every four weeks.
Or
A few teaspoons each of cinnamon and lemon oil, to a spray bottle of water. Repeat weekly.
Or just get a cat! I adopted two adorable kittens 3 years ago and haven't seen mice or spiders in my house ever since.
Peppermint tea water without the bags will maybe last a few days.
If you can't smell it, neither will they.
Unless you add essential oils to that tea water.
Or like spraying your house every 2-3 days.
My unprofessional assumption only. :-)
@@breebartkowiakova I have a chihuahua who is a very skilled mouse hunter! Apparently, chihuahuas were actually bred to kill mice.

What if I put 9 drops?
when applying the peppermint cotton balls does this method kill the spiders or do they just stay away. I've heard of peppermint working for spiders but I never asked does it kill them.
Baby powder works too!! They don't like the smell. Plus, I have 2 cats too!

I'm currently using the essential oil and water mix in a spray bottle (peppermint)., to rid my attic of a squirrel that wants to live there. Seems to be working, but I'll also add the tea bags. Thanks for the tip.

Get some used cat litter and put it were mice are and they will not come back.
I tried that too and it works great!
The mice in my house eat tea bags, hang out around the cats litter box, and eat meat! They're THUGS! 😨
Great information, thanks
Thanks for an easy way to get rid of spiders
We always had spiders in our roadside mailbox, and I noted they were finding a good food source from ants going in there. Recalling that placing cinnamon (powder) in a seasonally ant prone kitchen corner had banished them, I put a small amount of the cinnamon in the back and shelf edges in the mailbox. No more ants, no more spiders.
Ants also hate marigolds, even if they’re in a spot in the garden and you temporarily plant a couple marigold plants, they pack up and leave immediately! LOL!
I've used ground chalk for tiny ants. I don't know if it works for all ants. I just crushed up sidewalk chalk. I sprinkled it under windows outside and in window sills. I've also used crushed red pepper.
P.Wulfson: Heard cinnamon was poisonous to a friend's dog.
@@caroltomlin8822 I am surprised to hear that, so sad. It reminds me of a friend’s dog that used to get hold of packages of xylitol sweetened chewing gum, and eat much if it, unfortunately it got sick and died. Cinnamon seems innocuous, but it’s good to consider that serious potential. Our mailbox is up on a post, and a dog would not be able to get up to it, let alone fit in it. The kitchen corner I treated was in the back of a kitchen counter, and we never allow our dogs up there.
@@ArtistInNewHampshire Apparently the situation was caused when cinnamon was spilled on the floor & not cleaned up sufficiently. I also would not have expected cinnamon to be harmful. I am becoming more aware.
I'm always leery of using some kind of sweet powder in the kitchen I just get paranoid because ant spiders freak me out and I live out in the country. So I just find that for me using a lemon cleaner like Mr clean Pine-Sol and not diluting it especially the pine Sol not only keeps your kitchen clean and fresh but keeps those little nasty insects away too.

Bounce sheets soaked with peppermint will help. Also, spider spray is most effective or vinegar sprayed in the vents.

Wasps or yellow jackets cannot abide peppermint either. When wasps showed an interest in my breather bricks, i sprayed peppermint oil mixed with water over all exterior gaps and they went elsewhere. It definitely works.
Yes it works on wasps. I use it on my deck, wasps won't come near it or me.
Thanks for sharing this 😁 I’ll have to give it a try xx
I can say that I have tried every known “repellant” for mice. Farm houses and barns are impossible to eliminate them. Poison, traps, cats work the best. Someone told me to use dryer sheets a couple of years ago for the farm trucks and equipment. Well at least it helps cover up the mouse pee smell a bit, but by no means do they avoid them. I found nests made out of them!
Thanks for watching!
I agree....pepperment oil works to keep away from wires, but nothing works like a barn cat and traps
@@hardass912 The problem with peppermint essential oil is that it’s toxic to cats (not sure about dogs). Most essential oils are toxic to animals. That’s why mice avoid those “natural methods.”
We get the glue boards they just stick to it
The issue I have with poisons is the mouse will go somewhere you can't get to and die. Or it gets caught by the pet and the pet ingests the mouse getting poisoned 2nd hand.
I prefer sticky traps. They aren't humane. But the live traps just leave them to return.
Peppermint oil feeds them. I put peppermint oil on qtips and the mouse ate it.
lol
What?😂😂😂😂
Thanks, loved the video and will try these natural methods and share with friends.
Thanks for watching, TV A!
Does these methods have effects on pets, as lots of the smells mentioned they don’t like.. wouldn’t this impact their sensory system.. 🤷🏼♂️
Spiders avoid eucalyptus either. Place a sprig in window tracks to keep the out
The mice in my hood are so chilled, they drink only Macha tea.
Nameis Missing 😂😂😂😂

I'm not going to dispute this idea because it does seem to be a very well tested method, HOWEVER, some unknown factor must be different because the mice in my garage ate 3 entire bags of peppermint candy. One was a candy cane type and the other two were the life saver mints which are STRONG peppermint flavor, altoid strong. So forgive me if I don't cover my house in peppermint tea or essential oils to dispel the mice. You know what seems to be working though is blasting black pepper into their holes in the wall. Supposedly, they don't even need to ingest black pepper in order for it to be annoying, possibly fatal to them.
Hi how're you doing.?
Thank u. I will try it. I have a spider zoo in my patio.😯
I live on a farm so I hope this works on Field Mice, as for spiders I got no problems with them they help with flying insects, I have a phobia of flying insects (fly’s, mosquitoes and the hardest to kill gnats) if you have a video on how to deal with flying insects that would be great.
Try mixing sugar flour and baking soda together its the baking soda in the mixture that kills your four legged little friends. Spray the area with mixture of water and ammonia RIP my little four legged friends.
If I had a farm I would have so many cats.
I am so glad I run into this video. We have a black widow problem. I'm praying this method works. I'm gonna use the pepper mint spray.
Black widows will not leave their home unless you tear it down. Keep their web up. You will always know where they are and they do capture other bugs. When you do finally want to get rid of her, you must spray them DIRECTLY!. The spray (Raid) will only kill if it is ON them. Do it at night when they are out. After a while, you will not have any more
How did u run into a video?
That doesn’t sound logical.
Did you have your running shoes on?
I got tiny little black bugs in a cabinet from ikea.. I dont know what they are ?? Ived paid for a professional exterminator a few years ago but they came back.. Would these methods work for any small insects?? If so i would give it a try im sick of sharing my flat with them.
Awesome thanks 🙏😇
