I love all creatures just not in my home. Spiders these days tend to be more dangerous because of cross breeding. As for mice/rats, when they are wild and living in my walls; I take a bit of offense.
So, I discovered an all natural way to keep them from my doorstep.
Peppermint Oil (just the oil...not some kind of fragrance).....I use about 1/8 bottle of concentrated Peppermint oil and mix it in a spray bottle with water. ID say the water should be about 4 or 5 parts to one. Spray on windowsills, door jambs and along baseboards as well as anywhere you may have a problem.
It works amazingly and you aren't harming the environment or the creatures you are trying to protect against.
