- Spray Peppermint Oil
How to use it:
Dilute a few drops of peppermint essential oil with water in a spray bottle.
Spray along baseboards, in corners, near entry points, and in dark spaces.
Reapply regularly, as the scent fades over time.
A gentle caution: If you have pets or small children, use peppermint oil with care. It can be toxic in high doses, so keep the bottle out of reach and limit access to sprayed areas.
