Mighty Mint Gallon (128 oz) Insect and Pest Repellent Peppermint Oil - Natural Spray for Spiders, Ants, and More

Works great to deter mice! Our RV sits for long periods of time without use at our property. I noticed mouse droppings a few times so I researched and found that mice hate peppermint. I also found on my RV Facebook page that many used peppermint. I bought this spray and sprayed cotton rounds and put them all around the RV as well as spraying around the outside. The last two times we have opened the RV and found no mouse droppings and no spiders at all. I now have it on hand to spray every time we leave the RV.The smell is strong but it is a clean smell and it does dissipate pretty quickly.

I absolutely love this product! I've had a really hard time getting rid of ants over the last few years. They would get into my cats sealed food containers and come through baseboards into my home. I was skeptical about using a natural product to get rid of pests but I was so wrong! Not only did it get rid of ants, there is a significant reduction of other insects around my house as well. It also has the added bonus of making your home smell like fresh peppermint and is pet safe!For best results, I recommend spraying along the exterior perimeter of your home and along interior baseboards and windows.

Effective but Spray Nozzle FailedThe peppermint scent is strong and fresh — it really helped keep ants and spiders out of my garage. I like that it’s safe around pets and kids. The only issue was the spray nozzle didn’t work at all, so I had to pour it into a separate bottle. Great product, just wish the sprayer worked!

So - this doesnt CLEAR mosquitos or "no see ums" away from a party space completely. We use this to spray the rug, curtains and cushions in our outdoor spaces. Smells great (unless you hate peppermint) and keeps bugs to other areas in our yard. Mostly I use this to spray inside our shed and entrance areas to deter pests from making homes in those spots. WORKS GREAT for that use!!

I live in a suburb near woods and a swamp so I get a lot of pests. I’ve used this product for a variety of insect and rodent problems and my overall verdict is this: it’s decent at both but it’s too weak to deal with a serious problem. Here are my personal experiences with each pest I’ve used it on:Mice - this stuff definitely seems to deter mice but if they’ve already set up camp in your home, it won’t agitate them enough to leave permanently. I sprayed an area where I spotted a mouse come into my room, and I saw with my own eyes the mouse run in, and then immediately turn around and run out. Sadly though, even after making my house reek with the smell of mint for a few days, the mice never completely left and the problem wasn’t dealt with until we zapped them with a kill trap. If you have a mouse problem this will help give you something to fight back with, but don’t rely solely on this alone to solve the problem, back it up with some traps or maybe even an ultrasonic pest repeller.Ants - ants DO NOT care and were the least affected out of all the pests I tested this on. At best they’ll stay away for a moment but will be back in full force the moment the scent dies down, or they’ll just change routes undeterred. We had a really bad ant infestation where they were crawling all over the house, in the cabinets, in our beds, everywhere. This stuff did virtually nothing to help the problem. We eventually won the battle by spraying Raid on several of their trails and placing several Raid Ant Baits around key areas but mint doesn’t seem to do as much to stop ants as people claim, at least not for a problem as serious as the one we had. If you’re dealing with an ant problem I can’t overstate how important it is to get good ant baits, because until you kill the queens their numbers will simply never end.Spiders - spiders won’t like this but again, it’s not going to help with even a mild infestation where they’ve already gotten cozy in your home. I tried to use this to get rid of several dozen Cellar Spiders in our basement and it didn’t produce the results I would have liked. More often than not, the spiders would be right back in the areas I sprayed the next day. I found Ortho Home Defense to be more effective at both deterring and killing them, and it has since become my “go to” for dealing with most bugs.Squirrels - We had a couple of squirrels tear into our attic recently and I furiously blasted the last of my mint spray up there in retaliation. To its credit it did seem to cause them to flee for a day, but they were determined to make our attic their home, and came back the very next day when the scent died down. We ended up blasting loud music and threw the last of my essential oils up there to get them out again and then sealed up the entrances. If you loaded this stuff into a water gun and fired it at some squirrels or groundhogs invading your bird feeder or garden, that might be an effective, non-lethal way to help stop them, but like the mice they’ll probably be more stubborn if you’re specifically trying to dislodge them from nesting in or around your home so be sure to keep reapplying until they give up.Flies, Gnats, Moths, Mosquitoes and Crane Flies - As far as insects go, this category seems to be what this stuff is most effective against. Mosquitoes and Crane flies were getting into my house through the Air Conditioner during the summer so I repeatedly sprayed the back end of my AC outside and it seemed to help when regularly reapplied. Bear in mind though I wasn’t dealing with an infestation with this group like the other insects, just discouraging some wanderers from getting near my AC. If you have an especially bad problem with this category of dusk/night pests, some sticky blue light traps would probably be a better alternative for indoors and a bug zapper would probably be better outdoors, especially when combined with an outlet timer.Despite my rating, I like Mighty Mint and appreciate it as a solid, all-purpose pest control spray, but the price tag combined with my somewhat mixed results compels me to give it a moderate 3 stars. It’s best use in my opinion is as a holistic, preemptive deterrent if you don’t mind reapplying it regularly and is especially effective against rodents, but it won’t singlehandedly save you from an infestation and there are better alternatives for insects.

This spray keeps spiders and ants away without harsh chemicals. The peppermint scent is strong but refreshing—safe to use around the house and super effective!
