A natural mouse deterrent

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Thursday September 6, 2018  Today I’ll be spraying peppermint essential oil all around the outside of the house.  Why?  Mice HATE peppermint!  This is the time of year they start to think about choosing their winter residence and I’d rather not share mine. I also have a good amount of peppermint oil left from making wedding soap this summer and this will be the perfect use for it. The cats will keep them out of the hay barn and I’ll do my best to deter them from coming in the house.  There is an old chicken coop they are welcome to have if they run out of options. 🙂 

Photo of the day: Sometimes when I do my late day check on the herd, I’m really glad I remembered to put my phone in my pocket. 🙂
