When you make your peppermint oil, what will you use it for?

Cooking? Baths? Insect repellent?

I read the other day that cottonballs soaked in peppermint oil will keep some kind of varmint away. I don’t remember if it was mice or snakes, but either one works for me. )

I forgot to add that you put the soaked cottonballs around the perimeter of your house.

as we say here “linement” . also insect repellent as I cannot use “OFF” ( used so much in the lowlands it makes me sick now) so been trying dryer sheets,Listerine, etc.

I was amazed at the decongestant effect of a few crumpled up leaves.

if it works as a snake repellent I'll mass grow it! no poisonous ones yet but still watching...
