Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 What great tips... thanks! I hate to kill the little critters, but, I've found that either peppermint or orange essential oils in a spray bottle with water will do the trick. If you use it on the counters and in the corners it will keep them away. I've used the cayenne and it's helpful for keeping them away, but messy.
