Question 1

I have an active mouse problem in my garage. Will this eliminate the mice I already have, or is it just a preventative measure?**

Accepted Answer

This product works best as a deterrent for areas with low pest activity. If you have an established infestation, you’ll want to seal entry points and use traps to remove the current residents first. Once the area is clear, placing these pouches around the perimeter will help create a peppermint "barrier" that discourages new visitors from moving in.

Question 2

I’m worried about the scent fading quickly. How long does the peppermint smell actually last, and how close do I need to place them to be effective?**

Accepted Answer

The intensity is strongest for the first 5–7 days. For the scent to remain effective, the pouches need to be placed very close to the suspected entry points—we’re talking within a foot or two, not just anywhere in the room. Many users find that outdoors, or in large open spaces like attics, the scent dissipates quickly. You may need to crush the pouch slightly when you notice the smell fading to release the remaining oils.

Question 3

Are these safe to use in the kitchen near food, and will the oil damage my countertops or floors if it leaks?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, they are safe around food prep areas and pets because there are no toxins or poisons—it’s just peppermint oil on a natural fiber pad. However, peppermint oil can be corrosive to certain finishes. We recommend placing them on a plate or in a shallow dish, rather than directly on varnished wood or plastic countertops, to prevent any potential staining or residue.

Question 4

I saw some TikTok reviews saying the sticker backing doesn't stick to walls. Will these fall down if I stick them on baseboards?**

Accepted Answer

That is a common tip we've seen in social reviews. The adhesive is designed to be low-tack so it doesn't ruin your paint, but that means it can struggle with textured walls or dusty baseboards. For a more secure hold, users report using a small piece of double-sided tape or a pushpin to keep the pouch in place, especially in areas with high humidity or temperature changes.

Question 5

How does this compare to ultrasonic plug-in repellents or traditional poison blocks?**

Accepted Answer

Unlike ultrasonic devices, which can be inconsistent with different house wiring and wall materials, this relies on a physical scent barrier, which either works or doesn't depending on airflow—it works best in closed, small spaces. Compared to poison blocks, this is much safer for pets and kids, but it is slower and less potent. You are trading immediate, high-toxicity results for a safer, lower-maintenance approach. For the price, it is an excellent first line of defense, but not a substitute for heavy-duty extermination.
