What is it?
Peppermint oil, derived from the peppermint plant (Mentha piperita), is a versatile essential oil known for its strong, minty aroma and numerous therapeutic properties. In the realm of pest control, its natural composition makes it a safer alternative to synthetic pesticides, offering an eco-friendly solution to pest management.
How does it work?
Peppermint oil works primarily through its strong scent and active compounds. When insects come into contact with or are exposed to the vapors of peppermint oil, their neurological pathways are disrupted. This interference affects their ability to communicate, feed, and reproduce. Additionally, the menthol in peppermint oil acts as a natural deterrent, repelling insects from treated areas.
