FAQs
Is this product safe for cats and dogs?
Yes, the formula is specifically designed to be child and pet-safe, though it is always best to let the spray dry completely before allowing pets to contact the treated surface.
Will this kill an active infestation?
This product is formulated as a repellent. It is highly effective for prevention, but active, large-scale infestations usually require professional extermination services.
How do I make the 10L of solution?
Follow the mixing instructions on the bottle packaging to reach the appropriate concentration for your spray container.
Can I use this on leather furniture?
We recommend testing on a small, hidden patch first, as essential oils can sometimes affect certain treated leathers.
How often should I reapply?
For best results as a deterrent, reapply to high-traffic areas every few weeks or whenever the scent begins to fade.
Troubleshooting
Solution scent is too strong
Increase the water-to-concentrate dilution ratio to mellow the peppermint fragrance.
Product leaves residue on fabric
Ensure you are mixing the concentrate thoroughly with water and using a fine-mist sprayer to prevent pooling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the repellent, ensure you have a clean, standard spray bottle and a measuring vessel. Dilute the concentrate with water following the product ratio to reach the 10L maximum volume. Once mixed, shake the bottle well before each use. Store the concentrate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the potency of the essential oils. Always test a small, inconspicuous area of fabric first to ensure the solution does not cause discoloration, especially on delicate upholstery or luxury linens.
