Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.


We have had so many ants, and I mean big black ants, crawling around in our house, it is horrible. Anyway, I had put undiluted Peppermint oil around the house in certain places but it did not stop them.

Then I read an email about how someone had experimented with oils and bugs and how after they added the oils to water they became like an insecticide.

So I put a lot of Peppermint oil into a spray bottle with water and sprayed all over the floors and around the doors and windows in my house.

No more ants! Yippee. And no toxic ant killer either. Double Yippee!!
