Questions
Before you buy
Does MintGuard kill mice or rats?
No. It's a repellent. The strong peppermint and clove scent makes the area less appealing, so they move on.
How long does each ball last?
30 to 60 days, depending on airflow and temperature. Swap a ball when the smell fades.
Is it safe with pets and children?
There's no poison. Place the balls behind appliances, in lofts or in cars, out of reach, so nobody chews them.
How many do I need?
One pack (12 balls) covers a typical home. Add packs for a loft, garage or car.
Will it fix a big infestation?
Not on its own. If you see lots of rats or daytime activity, call a pest controller, then use MintGuard to help keep them away.
What if it doesn't work for me?
The official shop offers a 90-day money-back guarantee.
Try it risk-free for 90 days
If MintGuard doesn't help, the official shop refunds you. You get tracked UK delivery and secure Shopify checkout. How to check you're buying the real thing.
