Re: Anyone know of an Essential Oil for detering Silverfish?

[Guest guest]

For the mice I think Peppermint EO works, just put some on a cotton ball and

put in corners of closets. I think that is right, lol. Just remember, no

Peppermint EO around pregnant woman.

Hello,

I was wondering if any of you know of a essential oil that I could

use for detering silverfish. I do know of chemicals I could use, but

prefer not to use them. Also, anyone know of an essential oil that

repels mice? I live in a 132 year old house and would like to place

smelly stuff that they don't like, to try and keep them out of my

house.

Thank you so much for your help.

Not at all :-) It can cause a miscarriage. I had heard about that once and

then did some reading and sure enough. Even the peppermint eo at GNC had the

warning (which was nice to see). I know EO's can loose their punch so to say

in P, but I for myself I wouldn't chance it.

Oh my, I had no idea..........thank you very much for the info. Guess I need

to find a reliable essential oil resource and do some serious reading.

Thanks again,

Are you sure you do not need an EO to keep ghosts calm and happy?

Hi;

I don't know anything about silverfish, but I do know how to get rid of

mice. A friend told me about this I tried it and it works.

You will need two ingredients, plaster or paris, the kind that you get at

the hardware or a crafts store, I got mine at a drugstore, you will also

need some grain cereal, I used quick cooking oats. Mix the cereal and the

plaster together, put it in a low container where the mice will feed. Forget

about it, the mice will eat it then need to drink a lot of water and then

they will cross the Rainbow Bridge. Hope this will help you.

Hi there, Im sorry I dont know about the silverfish but I just read

somewhere that Rapeseed oil sprayed in the garden keeps insects down.

Dont as yet know if there is any truth in that but thought it was

interesting enough to research as I lost my eggplants to insects last

year.

Take care,

Re: Silverfish - I think silverfish hang out where is dampness. From what

I remember, if you get rid of the dampness, you get rid of the silverfish.

Silverfish are usually in your tub, shower stall or basement. Is that

where you are finding these little guys? Carol A2

AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Folks,

Whether you are making soap and/or toiletries just for yourself, just to

give as gifts or with the thought of selling, PLEASE research what

ingredients you are working with.

Yes, this is all a great deal of fun to do but some of the ingredients we

deal with can be very volatile and some have serious consequences if used the

wrong way.

Do yourself, your friends, family and future customers a big favor and do the

research.

You never know when you will end up thanking your lucky stars you did.
