Elsa finds a way to get rid of Doctor Zed

Elsa remembers reading something on Google about how to get rid of nasty evil mice. She takes out her phone and looks it up on Google. 

“I found it!” says Elsa. 

‘Although natural remedies aren’t always the answer when getting rid of pests (like using cucumbers to get rid of cockroaches, along with many other methods that don’t kill cockroaches), peppermint is a successful natural remedy that works when trying to repel mice. This has to do with the nature of mice, which rely mostly on their sense of smell instead of their vision. Mice have an incredibly weak vision but a strong, keen sense of smell. Which makes sense as to why mice typically go for a large chunk of stinky cheese, right?

Peppermint obviously has a strong scent, one that mice are not too fond of. According to Victor Pest, peppermint is a menthol that is very potent and can irritate their nasal cavities. A whiff of peppermint certainly will keep them away.

Now there are two ways to incorporate the smell of peppermint into your home. The first is growing peppermint plants and leaving them around the house. The smell will deter them from entering or roaming around in the first place. If you’re not too keen on growing a peppermint plant, then you might prefer using peppermint oil instead. You can spray the essential oil in different areas of your home that are typically accessible to mice.’ (Info here)

“Let’s go get some mint and put it around the tree,” says Elsa. “Maybe as he gets closer the mint smell will scare him and he might drop the book and run.”
