I tried this and it works!!! For the rats, I use a dropper and saturate cotton balls. I haven't seen any rats in my house, but I hear them in the attic. After placing the cotton balls in the corners and sticking them up in the ceiling vents, they disappeared overnight! In the past, I have stuffed brillo pads in areas on the exterior of my house that may be big enough for them to squeeze through. Those suckers have occasionally pulled the brillo pads out since they can't chew them, but when I put peppermint oil on them and stuck them back in, they haven't touched them. For the spiders, I use the spray bottle method. I haven't seen a spider since I did this, but I did see a dead waterbug in the downstairs guest bathtub. I will forever use this remedy! Peppermint oil isn't necessarily cheap, but if you're into chemical and pesticide free as well as cruelty free methods, this is the best that I've found.

[@Xassaw]

Peppermint is very easy plant to grow, as a matter of fact it's almost too easy. It can be invasive. You might try planting some in some pots or maybe in a raised bed where it can't take over. You can make tea from that and it would be considerably cheaper

Please make sure to keep peppermint and certain other essential oils away from your cats as they lack an enzyme in their livers to break them down. It can kill them if it is ingested or gets on their skin - even causing problems if there is too much in the air from a diffuser. Maybe that is why it keeps mice away. Maybe they lack the same enzyme.

We always had spiders in our roadside mailbox, and I noted they were finding a good food source from ants going in there. Recalling that placing cinnamon (powder) in a seasonally ant prone kitchen corner had banished them, I put a small amount of the cinnamon in the back and shelf edges in the mailbox. No more ants, no more spiders. Ants also hate marigolds, even if they’re in a spot in the garden and you temporarily plant a couple marigold plants, they pack up and leave immediately! LOL!

[@ArtistInNewHampshire]

@@caroltomlin8822 I am surprised to hear that, so sad. It reminds me of a friend’s dog that used to get hold of packages of xylitol sweetened chewing gum, and eat much if it, unfortunately it got sick and died. Cinnamon seems innocuous, but it’s good to consider that serious potential. Our mailbox is up on a post, and a dog would not be able to get up to it, let alone fit in it. The kitchen corner I treated was in the back of a kitchen counter, and we never allow our dogs up there.

A little tale about arachnophobia. I live in South-East England. One night, some years ago, I was in bed reading, of all things, the autobiography of Christopher Lee, the old horror film actor. I read quietly for some time until, suddenly, a bloody great spider crawled over the spine of the book towards me. I let out a yelp of terror and flung the book across the room. I might add I'm a large man of 6ft 3, yet that tiny thing freaked me out. It's something about the way they move and invade your space. Other creatures don't affect me that way. I've even caught live rats with no trouble, but spiders? No thanks.

I really hate to crap on this idea but… 🍑 I hate to break it to everyone but this method OVERALL for MICE (idk about spiders) does not actually work. You MAY not see the mice but the odds they’re out of your home all together is insanely low… unfortunately. They’re still wrecking havoc in your walls, attic, basement and/ or crawl space. Side note: It MIGHT get rid of your mouse issue if you had 1 or 2 venture inside your home randomly but the amount you would need to apply to get rid of mice is staggering. Not to mention you would have to apply this throughout your entire home every week to 2 weeks for every month, of every year. That’s also to assume the mice don’t eventually get used to the smell and ignore it all together. I’m an exterminator and have suggested this to many clients to see if it would work or not and again as much as it might keep them at bay and/or out of a certain area or floor of your home is about the best case scenario you could ask for. Now if the only thing you care about is simply not seeing them or their droppings in certain areas, then by all means have at it.
