Hearing scratching at night?
You're not alone. These are the three places UK homes see rats and mice first.
Droppings in the kitchenMice follow pipes in under the sink and behind the cooker. Here's how to stop them.Read guide 
Scratching in the loftWarm insulation is the perfect nest. Protect the loft before the cold sets in.Read guide 
Chewed wires in the carRats nest in warm engine bays. Repair bills can run to hundreds of pounds.Read guide How MintGuard works: 3 oils in 1 ball
A rodent's nose is its map, its larder and its alarm. MintGuard's three plant oils scramble all three, so they go elsewhere.
Peppermint, for the nose
Masks the smells of food and the trail home.
Clove, for the mouth and whiskers
Makes a route along the wall unpleasant to travel.
Castor oil, for the hold
Heavy and slow to evaporate, it locks the other two in for 30 to 60 days.
Put it down before the first cold night
Rats and mice come in when nights turn cold, through gaps by pipes, flues and eaves. Twenty minutes once is all it takes.
1. Put one at each way in
Under the sink, behind the cooker, by the boiler, the loft hatch, garage and car.
2. Forget about it
Nothing to set, check or empty. No bodies to deal with.
3. Swap in 30 to 60 days
Replace each ball with a fresh one to stay protected all winter.
Why not poison, traps or a plug-in?

Full comparison: MintGuard vs poison, traps and ultrasonic repellers
No poison near your children and pets
Poison can be carried by a rodent and end up where your dog or cat finds it. Traps snap fingers and paws. MintGuard is just pressed plant oils that smell strong to a rodent.
- No toxic bait anywhere in your home
- No traps and no dead rodents to find
- Place balls out of reach, as with any household product

Why we made MintGuard
We wanted a way to keep rodents out of UK homes without poison under the sink or traps where children and pets play. MintGuard is the simple, natural option we couldn't find, so we made it.

How we collect honest reviewsNatural mouse and rat repellent: your questions
How does MintGuard keep rats and mice away?
Each ball releases peppermint, clove and castor oil slowly for 30 to 60 days. The scent masks the smells rodents rely on, so they choose somewhere else.
How many packs do I need?
One pack (12 balls) covers a typical house. Choose 2 packs to add the loft, garage or car, and 3 to 4 packs to cover the whole winter.
Is MintGuard poisonous?
No. MintGuard contains no poison and no traps. Place balls out of reach of children and pets.
How fast is delivery?
Orders ship with tracked delivery to UK addresses. Delivery options and costs are shown at checkout.
What if it doesn't work?
Every order comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee.
Does MintGuard make my house smell?
You'll notice a fresh mint smell for the first day or so, then it fades to your nose. Rodents can still smell it for 30 to 60 days.
Where should I put the balls?
One ball at each way in: under the sink, behind the cooker and fridge, by the boiler, at the loft hatch, in the garage and under the car bonnet (away from hot parts).
Can I use MintGuard in a flat?
Yes. One pack covers a typical flat, with balls under the sink, behind kitchen appliances and by any pipes that come through the wall.
