In today’s world of chemical sprays and synthetic repellents, many homeowners are looking for safer, more natural alternatives to keep their homes pest-free. For families—especially those with children or pets—natural pest control offers a cleaner, healthier way to live.
Among the many eco-friendly options, one plant has earned a reputation as a true multitasker. It looks beautiful, smells refreshing, and keeps unwanted pests at bay. That plant is peppermint.
You’ve likely used peppermint in tea or seen it as a flavoring in candies. But what you may not know is that peppermint is a remarkably powerful natural pest deterrent, helping repel spiders, mice, ants, mosquitoes, and more.
