Gallon (128 oz) Insect and Pest Repellent Peppermint Oil - Natural Spray for Spiders, Ants, and More

A great product. I use it inside my home perimeter (basement, and house proper. I also spray foliage and weeds before I work in a yard section. I've never had a bug bite - they disperse! before I dig or pull weeds. Insects leave us alone in the house. Oh, and it smells good!

It works! It absolutely repels wasps (at least Paper Wasps). I live in the South and always have issues with Paper Wasps building nests around my house. They seem to love building their nests in my fence gate between the wooden slats. I ended up getting stung on my face while opening the gate about 2 Summers ago. Thought I’d give Mighty Mint a try since I hate using the generic wasp spray…smells terrible and loaded with nasty chemicals. I wanted something that prevented the wasps from building nests, rather than killing them after the fact. I used Mighty Mint at the beginning of Spring (BEFORE they start nest building) and carefully sprayed in between all the wooden slats on the fence gate and adjacent slats….no nests all Summer long. I would spray again about once a month since I’m sure its effect wears off in the intense heat and Summer thunderstorms (gets washed away). It does seem to work..I was skeptical but now I am a believer. My only complaint is that the spray bottle itself is on the smaller side, so I went ahead and purchased a bottle of concentrate to replace/mix when it finishes. Also, it smells wonderful but it is on the stronger side. Good idea to spray it when not breezy outside because if you have bad allergies (like me) it may affect you if you get some blowback in your face. Otherwise it’s an awesome product! Definitely worth a try. Update 3-20-2026: Purchased the liquid concentrate Mighty Mint to mix and refill the original spray bottle that I bought a while back. I thought I had bought the concentrate already but apparently forgot. In addition to my fence gate, I sprayed the bottom of my out door chairs (made out of thick plastic) and also bottom of my mailbox. As I was spraying the mailbox a big Paper Wasp started hovering very close to me. I simply stretched my arm out and sprayed that sucker right in the face. He got a face full of Mighty Mint mist. As soon as I sprayed him it flew away in the opposite direction and almost seemed disoriented (like a drunk wasp). I was cracking up! It just proved to me how much they hate this stuff (mint). Love this product, but as I said in my original review, it’s strong. IMHO, best used outdoors.

I bought the giant bottle with the hose sprayer a year and a half ago. All the parts are still working, I have lots of pets and have had no issues. Smells great, I spray on baseboards inside and out doors on perimiter. Now does it work... I am not sure, I would probably have to spray weekly. I use this with ant traps that are borax based. It kills on contact but I live in So CAL and it is very dry here and the black ants are insane for us. They come up the drains, out of wall sockets, love cat food and anywhere near water. The never get in the trash at all. It is so weird. It has been three years now where they keep coming back every few weeks. I would say I feel using this helps and I feel it is safe for my pets, but this spray requires you to spray over and over again. It is not a long term deterrant for this ants at my house.

for ANTS: This stuff is AMAZING. Just be realistic in how you are using it, but i totally stopped using old school ant poison, totally. They will NOT cross over a wetted area, wetted with the peppermint oil spray. Period. Full Stop. Ants use their sense of smell/scents as a major tool in their food hunting and probably even water hunting. The peppermint spray is too overwhelming to their highly sensitve sense of smell. Olofactory sense mechanism. Obviously you have to use it correctly. It's not like a highly toxic ant or roach "gel" that literally attracts the ants or roaches, getting them to eat the bait and then killing them. Just the opposite the ants have zero interest in eating the peppermint oil. You have to also be careful as if you spray too much, and you are in an enclosed space, the smell might be too strong for you... it won't kill you (unless maybe if you drank it all) but the smell can be too strong, so try it out and see whatyou can take. again. This stuff is amazing. Changed my life in relation to needing to resort to toxic poisons. Also the neck and spray head are VERY usable and does not even get my hands wet with the peppermint oil. Do NOT accidentally drop the container though as if it hits the plastic top/spray thing it can brake it and then it will not spray.

Does not repel , it attracts. I just used cider vinegar and lemon
