Peppermint Oil Insect Repellent Spray – Natural Indoor & Outdoor Bug Control for Spiders, Ants, Roaches, and More – Plant-Based, Extra-Strong Formula - 16 oz (Pack of 2)

I was really excited about this! I’ve been on the hunt for a natural pest repellent that was safe for my family. I hate introducing toxic chemicals to my household so this was perfect. It had a pleasant, and mild scent, and you get a huge container for a good price! I noticed less pests in a matter of just a few days!

This is the second time I am buying this spray because I used up most of the first bottle I got! There were all kinds of bugs in the living room of my mom’s apt. so I wanted to see if this peppermint oil would get rid of them. The bugs completely infested a plant that I was then forced to throw away, but the bugs kept reappearing in the living room and other rooms of her apt. I sprayed the Mighty Mint Peppermint Oil Insect Repellent Spray along the window frames in the living room twice a day (when I put my plants there for sun and once in the evening when I move them to a table away from the window) for several months. The bugs hare completely gone FINALLY! I am continuing to spray the peppermint oil twice a day to make sure they don’t come back! FYI - I did NOT spray the peppermint oil on any of my plants, I threw away the infested plant and kept the rest of the plants. I have severe environmental allergies (pollen, dust, dander, smoke, etc.) and the spray did not bother me at all. It has very few ingredients and has not harmed my mom’s window sills at all. Highly recommend this product if it meets your needs!

The smell is quite strong and not pleasant to be near for approximately 20 - 30 minutes after application. However, it does seem to be doing the job it was purchased to do. I've not seen any of the small ants we had previously. So I can tolerate the unpleasant odor as long as it is working and keeping the ants away. And, it could just be me and my sensitivity to certain odors. You may find the odor pleasant and not problematic!

My fridge broke and over the weekend my landlord replaced it with a fridge that turned out to be infested with roaches! I have a service animal and the landlord's pest control company couldn't guarantee their chemicals were pet-safe. This was recommended to me by a friend. With no choice but to declare war on these kitchen infiltrators, I ordered a bottle at 6am while getting ready for work and I got SAME DAY delivery! I went home and with my battle plans laid out, and launched a ground attack at nightfall. The enemy roaches were quick to respond, sending out their fiercest and biggest soldiers at speeds only witnessed by the gods above! I sprayed every inch of Fort Kitchen, whereupon dozens of roaches met their rightful deaths, quickly and painfully, as I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran into the frontlines of battle, valiantly defending that which is my sacred home! Some say the battle lasted days, others say it lasted minutes. At the end of it all, as the peppermint mist cleared on the horizon of Mt. Trashcan, the casualties of war were made known to all. Dozens upon dozens of carcasses, belly-up in defeat... One fierce general escaped and retreated to higher ground in attempts to launch a sneak attack on Makeup Mountain in Fort Bathroom. My troops attacker with even greater ferocity, fresh off our victorous kills, and General Giant Roach was easily captured in the prison cell of Nearby Padded Envelope, whereupon he was unsuccessfully interrogated in a language of screams only the neighbour's dog could understand, before he was ultimately sentenced to a swift but humane death. The battles were tough and troops were weary as the night turned to dawn. But as the sun rose this morning, a clear message had been sent to all nearby rebels: Mighty Mint is an impenetrable force and if you ever find yourself under attack, you WILL come out victorious... And maaaaybe a little emotionally traumatized. But with the affordability of this product, you can still easily cover the cost of therapy. Also, my entire house smells like that chocolate peppermint patties. And who doesn't love to literally be able to smell their own victory? ;)

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 product works great on plants! Recently my granddaughters cat was nibbling on some so I sprayed the peppermint oil on the plant and ground. It worked to defer the cat away. It's safe and clean scent so it was a win win for us.

I absolutely love this stuff. It is very effective to keep away bugs - both land and fliers. I had a wasp issue by my front door, one spray of this stuff and they flew off for good. It also has a pretty decent reach with the stream option. The best part about this product is it's safe for humans and pets as well as the bugs! It's meant to be a deterrent, not a killer. The smell of fresh peppermint is the cherry on top!

The aroma is very strong. Sprayer works well enough and is easy to setup. Both the spray and stream functions have good range, but it started leaking down the handle after several sprays. When spraying outside, several bugs were fleeing already. Have not seen if that lasts long or not.
