Does it kill roaches or only repel them?

Mighty Mint markets it as both a repellent and a killer, with peppermint oil as the active ingredient. Expect contact kill on sprayed insects plus a deterrent effect that fades and needs reapplication.

Is it safe around cats and dogs?

The label says it is safe around dogs, cats and kids when applied as directed. Peppermint oil can still irritate pets' eyes and noses, so spray surfaces, let them dry, and keep animals out of the treated area during application.

How often should I reapply?

There is no fixed schedule on the label. Because the mint scent is what does the work, plan to respray baseboards, entryways and other treated spots every few days or once the smell fades.

Will it stain floors or counters?

The maker says it does not stain surfaces. Test on an inconspicuous spot first, especially on finished wood, and wipe up overspray.

Can it clear a serious roach infestation?

It is best for spot treatment and light pressure. For a heavy infestation, pair it with roach gel bait and traps rather than relying on the spray alone.

What pests does it target?

It is sold for roaches, ants, spiders, flies and wasps, indoors and outdoors. Results vary by pest and by how thoroughly the area is treated.
