Mice for some reason do not like the smell of mint. This has caused many people to use mint plants and oils as a natural mouse repellent.
Yes, peppermint is one of natural materials, proven quite effective for deterring mice.

I don't know why, but no. If you scroll down to the ingredientss in the following link, it shows that you can'treplace the [peppermint oil] wih [peppermint extrace]http://www.joyofbaking.com/candy/PeppermintPatties.htmlBUT that's for baking. For 'mice and rats', I don't think it matters. Peppermint is peppermint, correct?Hope this helps! Plus, the recipe is delicious:D Try it!-cameronlow;]
GNC probably carries peppermint oil.
It appears that peppermint oil, not peppermint extract, works better to get rid of mice. This is because the extract contains more alcohol than peppermint oil, so it will not be as strong as the oil itself.
If in the U.K you can buy 100% peppermint oil from Holland & Barrett. Price is short of £5.00 for a 10ml bottle. It clearly states it is consumable.
Yes, they are peppermint is related to the catnip family. My cat loves peppermint altoids. Just like catnip though, you want to watch that you don't feed your kitty an OD. Keep the quantities smallish, maybe a quarter to a half mint
yes
Hi I have used peppermint oil for a year now to keep fiel mice away. They come up from the basement to the main house every August for some reason. By diluting 2 table spoons of peppermint oil with 2 cups of water in a spray bottle, and spraying all the areas nice use to come into the house, I have been able to keep them away. I read in many postings that mice get actually sick by the scent of peppermint, thus they avoid getting anywhere near. They recommend once every 2 weeks spray to keep them away, but if you are deailing with an infestation, I have used it once every 2 days. Plus the whole area smells very nice.
Although lime has not been proven to keep rats away, some natural methods like growing mint or citronella plants in your garden has been suggested as an effective way to keep rats away from your home. Peppermint oil can also be used as a deterrent, as well as raw sweet potato, which is actually poisonous to rats. However, if you have a serious infestation its probably best to call an exterminator.
Pepperment oil does not work. I put a lot of it on a cotton ball an place it between a very small crack where the mice were entering. The mice crawled right between the crack and the pepperment oil. It does not work and its to expensive for a very small bottle.

Lots of things. But please don't use poison. Find any other way but don't harm they be vermin but they are creatures and they don't really carry diseases anymore. Also, if you are discussing a garage or outside building, good old fashioned cats are really the best deterrent. Not just them catching the rats but their scent also tends to make the mouse and rat vacate.
Walmart sells peppermint oil for baking, peppermint oil softgels, and peppermint extract. See the related links for the product listings on Walmart.com.
Peppermint is not recommended as a bath oil. The peppermint essential oil can cause stinging, or dermatitis. When peppermint essential oil is included in mixtures intended for topical use it is drastically diluted with an inert carrier oil.
The chemical formula for peppermint is exactly C10H20O1

Yes. Spearmint and peppermint are not.
