Shop and machinery storage barn maintenance

Truth: mice begets snakes

Good simple way to keep mice away is peppermint oil

One drop of peppermint oil on a rag or cotton ball, throw a few of these around behind tool boxes or behind workbench.

Apparently mice hate the smell of peppermint oil, so they stay away, therefore the snakes hopefully stay away, that is the plan.

(((But use sparing,)))) peppermint oil is not a product that: if a little is good, a lot is better,
Take it a little at a time, or you will not be able to go in the shop due to the overwhelming smell of peppermint oil

Worth a shot, if you do not like snakes or mice hanging around the shop

I wonder how peppermint schnapps would work? Maybe I need to switch from the wobbly pops?

Don't like mice nor snakes, but I also can't stand the smell of peppermint. Anyone have any other suggestions that work?

I do not like the smell of it either, but hate snakes and mice more,
First time I used it last year I put too much, had to take them out, wow the odor was strong,

Odd I just thought you could buy peppermint oil anywhere, but not in my community, it was behind the counter at the pharmacy, I ask if it was a controlled substance!!!!!!!!

Said no, but Kroger pharmacy policy changed made them put in behind counter, wonder if kids were sniffing it????
Was about $15 per small bottle maybe cheaper to get a cat,

Also Kroger was the only pharmacy that carries it in my town,

If you drink enough, you probably would not care about the mice....
