Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.


I have been using Young Living essential oils for a few years, but this is my first experience like this. I put several mouse traps in my garage a few days ago and went out to check them. The peanut butter I use to lure the mice was gone, and the traps were covered with ants. There were also ants all around the traps for about eight inches.

I heard that Peppermint would keep them away, but what would it do to all these ants? I put one drop on a cotton ball and rubbed it in a circle around the trap. Then I placed it a few inches from the trap. About 10 minutes later I went through the garage, and there were NO ANTS. Yeah!
