Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I asked the question last fall and yes peppermint was the response. I bought about a doz. bottles of peppermint oil and put it on cotton balls and put them all around the barn. Along with the empty bottles. I didn't know about spearmint, I also didn't think about putting it on corn cobs. Bottom line it worked WHERE the cotton balls were and only until the oil lost its smell -- we still had some mouse damage however. Things sure smelled good for a while!! We have a really bad chipmunk problem and our cat won't go near them. Next spring we will give strong consideration to One Bite.

It's peppermint and spearmint oil that does the trick. Check out these cool sprays >>> http://tinyurl.com/8kke3 My friend Marti was putting the oils on corn cobs to scatter throughout the barn. Apparently it works like a charm! Michelle Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs. Try it free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
