Someone once said -

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for the people who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." Amen

Keep Spiders and Bugs and Mice Away


How To Keep Spiders Out Of Your Home With Peppermint Oil

Make sure you like Herbs & Oils World on Facebook to be updated every time we find a fantastic tutorial for exciting and innovative ways you can use herbs and essential oils.
How To Keep Spiders Out Of Your Home With Peppermint Oil
UPDATE NOVEMBER: 100s of people are arriving at this blog post right now. I know you are all coming from Facebook, but can you let me know which page has sent you so I can thank them. Please pop over to our Facebook page and let us know :)
I hate, hate, HATE spiders.
Luckily essential oils come to the rescue again and now I use peppermint oil to all but eradicate spiders from my home. Here’s what you do…
Simply fill a spray bottle with tap water and add 10-15 drops of peppermint essential oil. Give it a smell to make sure the water smells minty, if not add a few more drops. Then you simply need to spray the peppermint water in the cracks and gaps where spiders can enter your home.
Spiders do not like peppermint oil. The strong smell will send them scurrying in the other direction and away from your home.
For an even more potent remedy add one or two drops of peppermint oil onto a cotton bud and place in the areas where spiders enter.
It’s as simple as that!
If you want to try this for yourself then you can purchase a bottle of Plant Therapy Peppermint Oil for less than $7 on Amazon – and with free shipping if you spend $25 or more. Plus this spray bottle would be ideal for this use.
Alternatively you could buy your peppermint oil from this page on Mountain Rose Herbs. MRH are the most trusted and ethical supplier of herbs and essential oils and they carry some wonderful products so take a look around there.
If you’d like to learn more things you can do and ways you can use essential oils, then get a copy of The Complete Book Of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy. It has over 600 recipes for your health, beauty and home and is my absolute favorite book on the topic.
P.S. Mice hate peppermint oil, too!
