Pests: Place oils to act as force field Continued from 3
You want to make sure you place the essential oils right where mice are entering, rather than where they’re already getting in. Generally, you want to
combine peppermint oil pest control with other measures. For mice, plugging up holes with steel wool tends to keep them out, since they have a hard time chewing through it. Peppermint oil pest con-
trol may seem like a lowimpact and simple approach, but it can be very effective. If you place the oils correctly, they should act as a virtual force field, telling pests in no uncertain terms to go the other way.
