<DIV>Thanks for the info :-)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am in the belief that unless the rodent is in a cage like pet mice, pet rats and their cousins the hamsters and gerbils. They are vermin to be dealt with. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I try to use natural and organic methods of pest control due to my sensativity and the fact that I have pets. Also my friends bring their children to my home when they visit. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I only use chemicals in the worse case scenerio.</DIV>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Peppermint oil is best used indoors as a rodent deterrent. I’ve used it effectively in quantity with spearmint oil to deter mice. You need high concentrations. The amount required is very noticeable to the human nose. The fragrance dissipates quickly outdoors, and the larger rodents still go about their business. A bed of peppermint is a reasonable approach if you have an area that can be dedicated to its invasive habits. In combination with spearmint , it can help during the growing season. </SPAN></P></DIV>
