How MintGuard works
Rats and mice rely on smell to find food, follow trails home and sense danger. MintGuard uses that against them.
TripleSense: 3 oils, 3 jobs, 1 ball
- Peppermint, for the nose: a strong, lasting scent that rodents dislike and that masks food and trail smells.
- Clove, for the mouth and whiskers: a sharp, warming oil that makes a route unpleasant to travel along.
- Castor oil, for the hold: heavy and slow to evaporate, it locks the other two oils in so the ball keeps working for 30 to 60 days.
Why pressed balls beat sachets and cotton wool
Peppermint oil on cotton wool or in a sachet smells strong for a day or two, then fades. MintGuard balls are pressed, not soaked, so the oils release slowly. To you, it smells of mint for a day. To a rodent, it keeps smelling wrong for weeks.
How to use MintGuard in 3 steps
- Put one ball at each way in: under the sink, behind the cooker, by the boiler, in the loft hatch, the garage and under the car bonnet.
- Forget about it. There's nothing to check or empty.
- Swap each ball for a fresh one after 30 to 60 days.
Where one pack goes
One pack has 12 balls. A typical home uses 6 to 8 indoors and keeps the rest for the garage, shed or car. Larger homes, or anyone covering the house and an outbuilding over winter, usually choose a 2 or 3-pack bundle.
Common questions
How long does each MintGuard ball last?
Each ball releases scent slowly for 30 to 60 days, depending on warmth and airflow. Warm, draughty spots run out faster.
Does MintGuard smell strongly in the house?
You'll notice a fresh mint smell for about a day after placing a ball. After that most people barely notice it.
