It always amazed me that products that were sold to prevent pests in the house and garden were toxic for humans and pets when they didn’t have to be. The usual commercial pesticide works on the central nervous system of the critter, and guess who else has a central nervous system that the pesticide can also work on? If you guessed yourself, you are entirely correct. There are many household items that work just as well as, if not better than the kind you buy at the store. These other methods of protecting your garden have been used for hundreds of years and are non-toxic to animals and humans. This excellent video tutorial I found by Facts Verse, on YouTube, which describes how to keep rats, mice, and spiders away from your home using peppermint teabags. There is also a recipe for a peppermint oil spray that will keep your home garden pest-free without harming your kids and pets.

Ingredients For The Mice And Spider Repellant:

• Peppermint tea bags
• Peppermint oil

Directions:

In this excellent video tutorial, I found by Facts Verse, on YouTube, you will learn how to keep the mice and spiders far away from your home environment in a few simple steps. Just set brewed peppermint teabags in all four corners of the room.
