I have been looking for something like this! I just threw away all of the expensive and chemical laden air freshners that I was using when I realized how bad they were for me and the environment. This is something I cant wait to try.

What a great idea! I'm always looking for the cheapest ways to accomplish something--this seems like one. I also had no idea that peppermint kept spiders away. Spiders terrify me so that hint made this article a 2-for-1 special for me! Thanks!
