Peppermint oil repels a variety of pests, including mice, rats, ants, spiders, cockroaches, mosquitoes, and fleas. The strong, pungent scent of the oil, particularly due to its menthol content, is offensive to the pests’ senses, deterring them from areas where it’s applied. It can be used in various forms, such as sprays or sachets placed near entry points in the home or garden.
