Airborne pests are frustrating enough, but when rodents make their way into homes, garages, or even gardens, the problem can quickly escalate. While traditional traps and poisons remain common, many households are turning to natural and humane alternatives that don’t pose risks to children, pets, or the environment.
One such option is the RepellShield Rat & Mouse Repellent Spray available on Amazon for £13.99, currently down 18 percent from its £16.99 RRP. The product, made in Germany, has built a sizeable following with over 11,900 reviews and an average rating of 3.8 stars.
The 250ml spray is formulated with peppermint essential oil, designed to repel mice without harming them. It works as a natural alternative to traps or poisons and is intended for use across different spaces, from lofts and sheds to basements, garages, and gardens.

RepellShield Rat & Mouse Repellent Spray
The RepellShield Rat & Mouse Repellent Spray is a natural, peppermint oil-based solution designed to keep rodents away without harming them. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, it protects homes, garages, lofts, sheds, and gardens while remaining safe around children, pets, and plants. Easy to apply and reapply every few days, this humane alternative to traps and poisons offers a convenient way to deter mice naturally.
For best results, users are advised to apply it every two to three days or after cleaning, with persistent use over two to three weeks recommended to disrupt nesting behaviour.
Those considering alternatives may also look at the Natural Rodent Repellent Spray for £9.99 on Amazon, which uses peppermint oil in a similar way and has been marketed for both indoor and outdoor use.
Another contender is the Karlsten Natural Rodent Spray, currently priced at £13.99 from B&Q, a larger 500ml option that has attracted positive feedback from households seeking a quick-acting deterrent.

But if it’s the RepellShield spray drawing attention, that may be due to its wide customer base and thousands of reviews reflecting both success stories and frustrations.
A user said: “Excellent product. As an ethical vegan I did not want to use lethal means to remove mice.
“The live capture trap worked once but the mice learnt to avoid it. This stuff is brilliant.
“I spray it in the cupboard where they are getting in (the hole is not accessible and I have used so many cans of expanding foam). I also spray some on cotton wool balls and leave near the bin etc.”
Others were less impressed. One reviewer wrote: “This product does not work at all, but will give you a nasty headache as a human.”

There are also buyers who report a noticeable difference: “Bought this to keep rodents away and it seems to help reduce activity around treated areas. Easy to apply with no harsh chemicals.”
Not everyone has been satisfied. A different customer noted: “I wish this product worked I really do.
“Although it smells lovely sadly, mice probably think the same. I waited a few weeks before reviewing, spraying before and after sightings every few hours, as I said place smelled lovely.”
But positive feedback continues too. “I bought two bottles to get rid of two rats that were eating our Pony’s food.
“I put the food bucket inside a tyre and sprayed around the tyre. After the second day, they had gone. I’m still using it just in case, but it has certainly worked for us!”
The RepellShield spray won’t guarantee results for every situation, but with its humane formula and strong following, it remains a popular choice for those looking to deter rodents naturally.
