- Does it kill pests or just repel them?
- It works mainly on contact, so it kills or drives off pests it hits directly. It does not leave a lasting barrier, so you need to reapply.
- Is it safe around pets and children?
- It is a peppermint-oil formula marketed as natural, but essential oils can still irritate pets and people. Keep it away from animals and follow the label directions.
- Can I use it on plants?
- It is sold as a household insect and pest repellent, not a garden product. Test on a small area first, since oil sprays can damage foliage.
- Does it stain surfaces?
- It is an oil-based spray, so it can leave a film on some finishes. Wipe up overspray and test on a hidden spot first.
- How long does one application last?
- Expect short-lived results. The mint oil dissipates and pests return, so plan on repeat spraying in problem areas.
- Does it work on flying insects?
- It is aimed at crawling pests like roaches, ants and spiders. It is not a reliable solution for flies or mosquitoes.
