This relates to the mouse issue. I have read that mice hate the smell of peppermint oil and I am wondering if this would be ok to try in the same room as the buds. It would be just a few drops on some cotton wool balls placed around the room. I have read various things online and opinions are mixed. Anyone know about this?
