No more mouse droppings in your pantry within 72 hours
Every mouse that gets in leaves a trail for the next
Mintfort's Trail Blackout floods a mouse's nose, stings its whiskers and wipes out the trail it follows in. Four plant oils take turns, so it lasts up to 90 days instead of fading in days like plain peppermint.

I've tried peppermint before. Why would this work?
Plain peppermint on cotton balls fades in a few days, so the mice come right back. Mintfort layers peppermint over slower cinnamon and cedarwood oils in a castor oil base, so the space keeps smelling wrong to mice for up to 90 days. 9 out of 10 customers see fewer signs of mice.
How It Works
Pouches cover the scent trail mice follow in. Peppermint works first, then cinnamon and cedarwood take over as it fades, so mice start avoiding the space within 72 hours. Castor oil lets the oils out slowly, so each pouch lasts up to 90 days, and when you can't smell the mint, swap in a fresh one.
Where do I place them, and how many do I need?
Place pouches where mice travel, about one every 8 to 10 feet, along walls, in corners and near entry points or anywhere you've seen droppings. A single room, RV or apartment needs about 12 pouches, a full home about 36, and a large home with a garage or barn about 60. A farm or full property may need more.
Is it safe around my kids, dogs and cats?
Yes. There's no poison, no bait and no traps, so there's nothing for a child or pet to eat and no dead mouse for your dog to find. Keep pouches out of reach of little hands and paws.

Works like a charm
I put this in my car hood every year in the winter. I also do other things for mouse prevention. I had wiring chewed 2 times in the past. I believe this is one of the reasons why it doesn't happen anymore.

If The Mice Keep Coming Back… It's Not You. They're Following The Scent Trail The Last Ones Left.
You set traps. You plugged every hole. You tried peppermint. And a few weeks later, there's mouse poop in the same spots again.
So you're back to scrubbing out drawers, lying awake listening for scratching, and checking the pantry before you cook. It feels like you're being outsmarted by something that weighs half an ounce.
Here's why. Every mouse leaves a urine trail, an invisible map that tells the next one where the food is.
Traps catch the mouse, but the trail stays. So the next ones follow it right back, through any gap you missed.
Peppermint covers the trail for a few days, then quietly fades. Mice also get used to a single smell, so they soon walk right past it.
And until something keeps covering that trail every day, with a smell they can't get used to, they'll keep coming back.
The colder it gets, the more of them come looking for a warm way in, and every one follows that same trail.
Meet The Trail Blackout. Four Oils, Four Jobs, So Mice Never Find Their Way Back
Plain peppermint is one scent that fades and goes stale. Every Mintfort pouch runs a 4 step Trail Blackout. Four plant oils, four jobs, one after another.
- Peppermint, the Blinder, goes first. It floods their nose so they can't smell your food, and mice start avoiding the space within 72 hours.
- Cinnamon, the Barricade, takes over as the mint fades. It stings their whiskers and snout, so pushing further in feels wrong.
- Cedarwood, the Eraser, lasts the longest. It wipes out the trail the last mice left, so the next ones have no map to follow. As each oil fades the smell keeps shifting, so mice never get used to it.
- Castor oil, the Anchor, holds it all together. Sprays drift up and vanish in hours. Castor lets the oils out slowly and keeps the scent low, right where mice run, for up to 90 days.
No guessing, no gaps, no fresh droppings in the same spots. Traps and cotton balls can't do that, and other pouches give you no way to tell when they've quit.

Mice Start Avoiding It In 72 Hours
Traps catch one mouse and leave its scent trail behind, so the next ones keep coming back. Mintfort floods their nose and wipes out that trail, and mice start avoiding the space within 72 hours.
40% Peppermint Concentration
Store sprays hold less than 1% peppermint and evaporate within hours. Each Mintfort pouch packs 40% peppermint over cinnamon and cedarwood, strong enough to cover the trail from day one.
A Smell Mice Can't Get Used To
Mice soon tune out a single smell. Mintfort doesn't just smell, it stings their whiskers too, and the mix keeps shifting as each oil fades, so it never goes stale.
Up To 90 Days Per Pouch
Peppermint on cotton balls is gone in a few days. Castor oil lets Mintfort's oils out slowly, so one pouch keeps working for up to 90 days.
Know When To Swap, With No Gaps
The mint fades first, so you never forget to swap. Cinnamon and cedarwood keep the trail covered until you do, so there's never a gap.
Natural, Safe And Humane
Just plant oils mice can't stand, so they leave on their own. No poison for the dog to find, no traps for little fingers, and nothing dying behind the stove.
Four Plant Oils, Four Jobs,So Mice Stop Coming Back
Peppermint Oil · 40% · The Blinder
Mice Start Avoiding It In 72 Hours. It floods their nose so they can't smell your food. Sprays are under 1% oil and gone in hours. At 40%, ours hits fast, then fades first so you know when to swap.
Cinnamon Oil · 5% · The Barricade
No Fresh Droppings Between Swaps. It stings their whiskers and snout, so pushing further in feels wrong. It also fades about half as fast as mint, so your pantry stays clean even if you swap a few days late.
Cedarwood Oil · 4% · The Eraser
Mice Can't Get Used To It. It wipes out the trail the last mice left, so the next ones have no map to follow. It lasts the longest, so the smell keeps changing as the others fade.
Castor Oil · 5% · The Anchor
One Pouch, Up To 90 Days. Sprays drift up and vanish in hours. Castor holds the other three, lets them out slowly and keeps the scent low, right where mice run.
Traps catch one mouse. Sprays and cotton balls fade in days. Only these four oils together black out the trail fast, keep it blacked out for up to 90 days and tell you when to swap.

FAQ
How is this different from the peppermint I already tried?
Plain peppermint fades in days, and mice get used to one smell. Mintfort's four oils each do a job. Peppermint floods their nose, cinnamon stings their whiskers, cedarwood wipes out the trail, and castor oil makes it last up to 90 days. The smell keeps changing, so they never get used to it.
How fast does it work?
Mice start avoiding the space within 72 hours, and 9 out of 10 customers see fewer signs of mice. If there's a nest inside, clear it out so it can't draw them back.
Will they stay gone, or just move somewhere else?
They stay gone. Traps leave the trail for the next mouse. Mintfort wipes it out, and the fading mint tells you when to swap, so it's never left bare.
Is it safe around my kids, pets and livestock?
Yes. No poison, no bait, no traps and no dead mice to find. Just keep pouches out of reach of little hands and paws, and away from cribs and pet beds.
How long does a pouch last?
Up to 90 days. When you can't smell the mint, swap in a fresh one.
Which pack should I choose?
12 pouches for a room, RV or apartment. 36 for a full home. 60 for a large home with a garage or barn, or a full property. One-time purchase, no subscription.
Where should I put the pouches?
Wherever mice travel, about one every 8 to 10 feet. Under sinks, behind the fridge and stove, along garage walls, in basement corners and anywhere you've seen droppings.
Will my house smell like mint?
Near the pouch, yes, mostly in the first few days. It softens over time, and when it's gone, that's your cue to swap.
Does it work outdoors, and in my car or RV?
Yes. Mintfort works indoors and outdoors. Place pouches wherever mice travel, in sheds, barns and garages, under decks, and inside cars, RVs and boats. Storing a vehicle longer than 90 days? Swap in fresh pouches halfway through.
Is it worth it over cheaper fixes?
From 2.5¢ a day per pouch, yes. Cotton balls and sprays fade in days, so you keep buying more, and pest control plans start at $2.50 a day.
How much is shipping?
Nothing. Shipping is free on every order, and every order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.
