There is nothing worse than an infestation of bugs or rodents. From spiders to mice, these creatures can make a home feel anything but happy and safe.

Unfortunately, typical extermination methods tend to be just as upsetting.

They are expensive and they usually involve bringing toxic chemicals into your home. Believe it or not, there is a fast, easy, safe, and cheap way to get rid of these pests and it comes in the form of a tea bag.

Pests have long been known to be averse to peppermint. To use this trick, simply brew some peppermint tea and place the tea bags in various spots around your home. Corners and others spots pests are likely to show up are the best places to leave your tea bags.

Within a few days, you’ll find your home is safe and happy once again, without any of those unwanted visitors. Peppermint tea is very affordable and you can find it in most grocery stores. If you can’t find it at your local store, it’s easy to purchase it online.

In addition to ridding your home of pests, this simple trick also comes with the bonus of getting to drink several cups of delicious, refreshing, and healthy peppermint tea.

This tasty form of pest control can also aid your digestion and help you relax. That’s something a can of Raid, a mouse trap, or an exterminator can’t do!
