Non-Toxic Mouse Repellent

When temperatures drop, mice start looking for warm places to hide. If you want a safe, natural way to keep them out, this simple winter mouse repellent is effective, non‑toxic, and safe around kids and pets.

It uses strong, aromatic ingredients that mice naturally avoid, making it a great seasonal deterrent during cold months.

Why This Works
Mice dislike strong scents like peppermint, cloves, cinnamon, and red pepper. This blend overwhelms their senses and encourages them to avoid treated areas.
