Apply around the base of trash bins.
Rub along kitchen countertops or near food storage areas.
Disrupt active ant trails with a thin layer of the ointment to confuse and repel them.
4. Deter Spiders
Spiders dislike the strong scent of menthol and eucalyptus. Rub the ointment around window edges, baseboards, and doorways.
If you find spider webs, apply the ointment nearby to discourage them from returning.
5. Keep Cockroaches Away
Apply the mentholated ointment:
Around the base of pantry shelves and food containers (never directly on food).
Near pet bowls and trash cans.
Along cockroach trails to interrupt their scent paths and stop others from following.
6. Repel Mice and Rats
Rodents strongly dislike the smell of menthol and eucalyptus.
Try this:
Soak cotton balls or yarn in the ointment and place them behind appliances, near baseboards, in cabinets, or around food storage zones.
Refresh these placements regularly to keep rodents away from nesting areas.
7. Protect Against Gnats
This ointment contains cedar leaf oil, a natural repellent for gnats.
