I purchase the PEPPERMINT OIL for the sole purpose of getting rid of Mice. It smells nice, but do no work. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS. I placed it in a burner, I put some in a spray bottle mixed with water, I placed it on cotton balls and placed them all around where I saw droppings. Nothing works, so don't believe the story that it works. It does not work. Also quite costly to burn, and mop floors and place on cotton balls, just to get good smell in your home . I have tried everything. These mice will not eat the food, will not touch the glue traps, will not touch the old fashion traps. They appear to be smarter than the people who make the food and the traps for them. Nothing works. They will destroy the toilet paper, but will not eat any brand of mice food we put down for them.
