You can also create a spray for your home by adding 10-20 drops to a spray bottle topped with water and a dash of alcohol or vinegar. Spray around the outside of your home (doors and window frames in particular) to help deter insects.
- Rodent Deterrent: Pour a few drops onto several tissues or cotton buds and place them in the area where rodents are an issue (for example, your roof).
- Fast Remedy: Add 1-2 drops of Organic Peppermint Oil onto a tissue, hold away from your nose to avoid direct skin contact and inhale. Alternatively, for similar effects, smell the oil directly from the bottle.
Note: Due to its high menthol content, Organic Peppermint Essential Oil may crystallise in cooler temperatures. Gently heating your oil bottle in a cup of warm water will return it to its liquid state.
