Reviews

Rodent Sheriff is a spray which contains a peppermint oil solution that is said to be a natural way to keep rodents out of your home. The solution is said to be safe around children and pets, but repulsive enough to rodents to keep them out of your house. Mice, roaches, raccoons, and other pests are said to run away from the smell. Each 8 ounce bottle of Rodent Sheriff contains about 1,000 sprays.

The idea of repelling rodents with peppermint oil is not unique to Rodent Sheriff. It has been a natural home solution for many years. Even pest control giant Orkin has a page about using peppermint as a rat deterrent. One problem with this solution is that the amount required to be an effective repellent is typically repugnant to the people inside the home. “Once the odor becomes acceptable to the person, it no longer repels the rodents,” they write.

We reached out to the makers of Rodent Sheriff to confirm the ingredents. Their reply stated: “Rodent Sheriff contains 2.7% Peppermint Oil, 0.1% Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and 97.2% Inert Ingredients (Water, and Propylene Carbonate Sodium Benzoate).”

If you are one who believes that peppermint is an effective way to repel pests, Rodent Sheriff will certainly fit the bill. Its cost is not out of line with the competition, although ordering from a new As Seen on TV product sometimes comes with an extended wait of several weeks. Now that it is available in stores, you might want to look for it locally to avoid shipping costs and delays.

There are also a number of peppermint oil sprays which can be found on Amazon, many with reviews with 4+ ratings. You may want to peruse those before making your final decision.

Spray inside bag before close, then outside of bags once in trash bin. Then just to make sure i spray the outside lip of bin and a little around the bin on the pavement. so far so good!

How often do you reapply? Does rain wash it away?

I repelled raccoons from my apartment building, at the recommendation of a farmer friend, by peeing on the spots on my back stairs where they were leaving their scat (apparently that’s a territorial marking).
I don’t know if it would work beyond that space and think the smell might be as bad or worse.

Wow, if raccoons are using your apartment building as a latrine it is a human health hazard. Call your local county health department. Or it could be stray cats.

I know. Already did that and much more but because of there being parks on 4 sides of my S.F. neighborhood raccoons are pretty inescapable. I called the Health Dept. and Animal Control but they offered only verbal support. I tried numerous things including animal repellants before resorting to urinating. Even managed to trap one and took it several miles away but there are dozens that live nearby and it was futile. I cleaned the area wearing a mask and gloves, and rinsed it with a 10% bleach solution before urinating on it. The end result was that though they… Read more »

Raccoons are not all that bad a problem, but their latrines are the problems. So if you don’t have latrine action nearby its no worry. Little kids near a latrine would be bad.

I grow my own mint and make my own spray with a blender and some water. I spray inside first and a week later, I spray around the outside. No additives, just strong mint tea.

Had a really expensive incident myself with these creatures, and the worse part was that I fixed my car without knowing what caused the damage, leading to a next trip to mechanic with the same problem. Long story short, one morning I found that all antifreeze leaked from my car. First I thought it was a common mechanical problem. Naturally, I made an appointment to a local service and had a water pipe from car thermostat replaced. Repair cost was a little under $200, manageable I might say. Until you have to go again to same mechanic in less than… Read more »

Waste of money!
This product has chemicals in it that cause my husband and i respiratory difficulty! And doesnt work for the aggressive field mice we are battling. My own mixture of spearmint oil lemon extract and peppermint oil is much more pleasant and works 24 hrs.

Peppermint oil is toxic to cats. My cat had issues with me using this in the house. It did work well using daily to drive out mice.

I bought this…yes the scent is strong that’s what it’s for,hell I would run to. It really does work. It even repells chicken hawks and owls.they won’t get near my chicken coop.i bought ziplock bags sprayed a old ray and stuck it in the bag,poked a few holes in the bag and threw it up on the roof of the coop,no more pests of any kind.if you have pests and want them gone don’t gripe about this product it really works.
