A trap only stops one.
Set up in two minutes
-
1. Find where they get in
Garage door edges, under the sink, behind the pantry, the car that sits all week. Mice use the same few routes every night.
-
2. Set one ball at each spot
Drop it in the corner and walk away. No bait, no setting, nothing to plug in. One box covers a typical home plus garage.
-
3. Swap every 1–2 months
When you can't smell the mint up close, it's time. Keep a few spares for the cold months.
Placement
Where to put them
Mice follow the same routes every night. Put one ball at each of these, and swap every 1–2 months.
Garage door edges & cornersThe number one way in. One at each corner of the door and along the back wall.
Under the sinkPipes come through the wall here. One ball in the back corner of the cabinet.
Pantry & behind appliancesBehind the fridge and stove, and on the pantry floor where food is stored.
Doors & entrywaysJust inside the threshold of any door that lets in a draft.
Car, truck & RVUnder the hood on a flat spot away from hot parts, or in the cab when it sits for days.
Shed, attic & basementCorners and along the walls, where it's quiet and dark.
Rule of thumb: one ball per entry point or corner, two in large or drafty spaces.
Coverage
How many do I need?
Count the spots, not the square feet. Every entry point and corner gets one ball.

Each ball lasts about 1–2 months. Cold months are when they matter most, so most people keep a few spares.
What's inside
Peppermint and plant oils, pressed into a solid ball.
Twelve balls per box, each about half a palm wide. Peppermint oil with citronella, cinnamon, rosemary and clove, straight from the box's own label. No powders, no sprays, nothing to plug in. To you it smells like fresh mint. To a mouse, it's a reason to turn around.
Each ball lasts about 1–2 months, indoors or out. When you can't smell it up close, swap it.
The difference
Why not traps, poison or plug-ins?
Everything else deals with mice after they're in. A deterrent is for the ones that haven't come in yet.
