Mighty Mint Gallon (128 oz) Rodent Natural Peppermint Oil Spray

This is my 2nd purchase of the large rodent repellent. I love the smell!

I live in a Nebraskan suburb that is overrun with rabbits and apparently on a bat path. Nightly, I have one or two bats that nest under the deck of my walkout basement. Seeing guano on my back porch each day is less than exciting. Spraying the area they nest in keeps them at bay. I also use it on my yard perimeter at areas I know rabbits get into and spray the plants they like to eat. It’s highly effective and humane. What’s better than a pleasant smelling natural rodent repellent?! L♡VE this stuff!

I have small mice problem and decided to try this rather then glue traps again. It works great so far. I live in very old house and know I will need to keep using this. I would rather smell mint then step in glue trap knowing mice can outsmart glue trap but not this spray and smell

Although the container shows the exact amount of peppermint oil on the front (you have to zoom in) many potential purchasers and people whom have already bought the product have missed this important factor. 4% seems to be the standard amount from what I’ve observed across the web. The decision to rate this with 3 stars is due to the small amount of peppermint oil and its seemingly ineffectiveness. That percentage is also why the product is so affordable. I researched pure peppermint or 100% peppermint oil and it is extremely expensive in bulk (more than 24 oz) however that is what you truly need if you want to rid your space of rodents. Some good points: The gallon container has a handle as well as a convenient spray nozzle attached to a hose that’s about a foot (give or take) long. It makes it very easy to spray hard to reach areas (behind item’s that can’t easily be moved, underneath immovable or heavy objects, in corners etc). The scent is not as overwhelming as uncut peppermint oil yet some who have purchased this product have found it strong and offensive to the senses. I like the smell of peppermint oil so that didn’t bother me. Depending on how much and how often you spray, it WILL linger for days, gradually dissipating. What did bother me is that we didn’t have a mouse or rat infestation so to speak, just probably the mom and a kid or two and despite spraying every nook and cranny of our small living space (often multiple times per day) the one or two little bas**rds were still around! I’ve used pure/uncut essential peppermint oil in the past (soaking cotton balls and stuffing them in corners and wiping the baseboards and areas I’ve seen them in/on and where I’ve noticed their droppings) and it absolutely worked. It kept them out for months and for nearly a year we didn’t see any sign of them. I emptied this gallon jug in less than a week and the crafty rodents seemed to have found a space to hide where they were not as effected by the overpowering mint because they were still coming out (albeit very cloak & daggerish–lol) looking for food. Eventually (several weeks later and after finding one of their main exit and entry points and soaking it with 100% Peppermint THEN plugging that hole) they or it left. I hesitate to say that this product doesn’t work (esp since other reviews say otherwise) but from the product description my expectations were set high. I was looking to see mice packing up like on the cartoons (Lol). I wouldn’t completely count MIGHTY MINT out. I would suggest that if you decide to purchase, try adding a few ounces (I used 16 oz) of essential peppermint oil to the mixture to make it more effective and save the handy jug for future use, especially if you need to dilute your pure oil. I hope this helps.

I built a run extension for my chicken coop and rats immediately moved in underneath, burrowing in the crushed stone base. We have 1/4″ hardware cloth, so they couldn’t get inside, but were still a nuissance. I purchased this mint spray, and sprayed the perimeter of the run – and the same night baited a live humane rat trap with black oil sunflower seeds. In the morning we had caught 11 rats!!!! This spray was very effective at deterring the rats to get them out of there new “home”, and paired with the tempting humane trap, we were able to effectively get rid of the rat problem in one night! Now that they’re gone, I remain vigilant and continue to spray the perimeter every few days, or after it rains and this is deterring any new rodents from moving in. Highly recommend! Rat trap we use is Rugged Range Ratinator.
