Q: will this product detract bees from my yard plants
submitted by Cookie - 10 days ago
Q: Does this deter mice as well? I've read that mice (and spiders, other households pests) steer clear of anything mint or peppermint.
submitted by telegonus - 8 months ago
Q: What kills the insects? If it's a deterrent why does it also need to kill them? That seems like overkill, no pun intended.

Q: Can this be used on indoor plants to get rid of the tiny fungus flies?

Q: Would this work to keep Japanese beetles off my raspberry bushes? I'd hate to spray anything that would harm the plant or the fruit, but I'm sick of sharing them with these greedy beetles!

I specifically bought this because it was labeled as being safe for pets. I sprayed my deck once and realized it was very potent. I did have my kitty out on the deck the next day and didn't smell it, but saw him starting to sniff the rug and realized certain portions still had the scent. I quickly took him inside and decided to read into the product more and look at reviews and realized this was toxic to cats. Very thankful to others who wrote reviews about the negative effects their cats experienced and very thankful I realized this early on and I'm hoping there are no side effects for him. Very upset about the false advertising on this product.

Would give zero stars if I could. This spray not only isn’t effective but the peppermint oil is toxic to cats. We sprayed our new apartment and our cats eyes were closing and watering and their noses turned night red. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!! IT NOT AT ALL SAFE FOR PETS DO YOU RESEARCH!!

This did nothing to get rid of the Pill Bugs that were in my bathroom. All it did was make the room smell like peppermint. I’ll just stick with Raid.

Sprayed a centipede with this stuff and if did not even phase it. Same with a stink bug and it just kept going so this stuff does not seem to have any effect on the bugs I tried it on. It smells good but that's just about it. Wouldn't buy again.
Highly toxic to cats and birds!!

Rikki - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
This is NOT pet safe and it's egregiously irresponsible and unethical that Mighty Mint would advertise this as pet safe when peppermint oil is poisonous to cats. It can cause neurological problems and liver failure when inhaled. It's also toxic for birds when inhaled or consumed! Please don't buy this and Target, pull it! I stupidly purchased this and thought it would be safe, didn't know about peppermint oil toxicity in cats and birds until I realized my otherwise healthy cat was acting strangely. I had assumed peppermint was okay, being related to catnip. On top of causing problems for my cat, it also was ineffective for keeping pests (i.e. mosquitoes) off my plants or away from my balcony. (And I had sprayed on the balcony, not inside—enough got blown back into the house through the screen that the whole place reeked for more than a day.) Just do yourself, cats and birds a favor and don't buy.
This stuff is good, not great...

It worked pretty well the first time I used it. But then came the second time to use it a couple days later...the ants started to show up again not even 24hrs later. The third application was this past Monday, and the fourth (has to be done twice a week) was yesterday...and it's just not being as effective as that initial use anymore. Such is the drawback of peppermint oil, which is the main ingredient of this stuff. Way too expensive for not being that good at what it does.
Smells real good and it's organic

Gets the job done! This repels lizards from outside of my back door. If there is one in your home it will immediately show its face. The peppermint is strong and my dog doesn’t seem bothered by it.

I have been struggling all summer with ants getting into my cat's good. I sprayed this inside my place around the crevices where ants would come in and outside my place and no ants in sight. It's been day 3 of having sprayed it and do far so good.
Amazing pest deterrent, not insecticide!

This product actually does work. It’s safe for animals and it actually smells good. It only smells like peppermint, nothing chemically. The only thing is it’s a deterrent not an insecticide. That means, once the smell wears off, the bugs come back. I’ve gotten in the habit of spraying every 2-3 days. I could probably wait longer but I don’t want to chance it. If you’re worried about human or animal contact with the area, this is the best and most effective option I’ve found.
Love!

This product truly gets the job done. I had a little ant problem this summer I used this product and haven’t seen them since. The product smells great by the way. The peppermint sensation is a little strong but not too overbearing.

This works. Yes, strong peppermint smell, but that's the magical ingredient that deters bugs! I use this primary for keeping those tiny lizards out of my house! But it works for ants, beetles, everything. I love this and bought 2 more bottles. Great value and nice quality sprayer. Does leave a film on dark wood flooring though.
