Fresh Mint Plant Can Help You Get Rid of Mice, Spiders, and Insects at Home

Mice, spiders, and insects can be quite pesky creatures in the house – and no one surely wants to have them in the house! And things can be quite complicated and costly when you have these pests in the house, especially because they can be destructive and make your house look ugly.

But getting rid of all these pests can take time and a lot of money; thankfully, there are ways you can try to get rid of these pesky creatures using natural methods. One of these effective methods is the use of fresh mint plants.

One option to use this natural pest repellent is to have pots of these plants scattered in strategic points across your home. Don’t worry because they won’t make your house smell bad; in fact, the minty scent will make your house more refreshing!

Another excellent option for you to do is to use this mint plant as spray. All you have to do is to make a concentrated mint tea using fresh leaves of this mint plant. Cool down. Put this tea inside a spray bottle. Close the windows and doors in the rooms you will treat and spray the mint tea into the corners and in strategic spots in the room.

Because mice, insects, and spiders hate the scent of mint, they would not want to stay inside your house! While this type of treatment might not kill these pests, this will at least rid you of these pesky creatures without hurting your wallet and without you using expensive and potentially harmful chemicals!

Repeat the procedure every few weeks or, better yet, always keep a few plants in your home so you wouldn’t have to constantly repeat the spray option.
