The MintGuard UK team

We're the team behind MintGuard, a natural peppermint rodent repellent sold in the UK. We write these guides to help households deal with mice and rats calmly, safely and without poison wherever possible.

How we write our guides

• Every guide is researched from trusted UK sources such as the NHS, the British Pest Control Association, the RSPCA and council pest-control advice, which we link at the end of each article.
• We focus on practical steps that work in British homes: terraces, semis, flats, lofts, garages and gardens.
• We're open about our product: MintGuard is recommended where a natural deterrent makes sense, and we tell you when a problem needs a professional instead.
• Guides are reviewed and updated, and each shows its last-updated date.
