Spiders and Insects:
Similarly, the scent of peppermint is believed to repel certain insects, including spiders, ants, and mosquitoes. The aroma is thought to disrupt their ability to navigate and communicate, prompting them to avoid areas infused with the scent of peppermint.
Practical Application:
- Growing Peppermint Plants: Cultivating peppermint plants indoors or in the garden is one way to potentially harness their aroma as a natural pest repellent.
- Using Peppermint Oil: Another approach involves using diluted peppermint oil in a spray bottle to create a barrier around entry points or areas prone to pest activity.
