Interesting . . . .

Here's the link to amazon for anyone wanting to add it to their cart:

Saw this as well when googling:
If you want to repel some roaches, a little peppermint oil is surprisingly effective. A mix of peppermint oil and white vinegar is a solid go-to for repelling several pests, especially spiders. ... You can also use straight peppermint oil to wipe down countertops. Not only will it keep pests away, it'll smell nice too
Yep, that's the dettol I use. You can even wash clothes, shower or clean wounds with it. It has plenty of uses.
My mom sent me a bottle of peppermint oil a while ago, which she said can be a good relief when we're coughing, but I hateee the smell.
