Solid Air Fresheners, Holly Jolly Peppermint, 7 oz, Pack of 3 | Holiday Fragrance, Odor Absorbing, Passive Diffusion, Odor Elimination Up to 45 Days Each, Ideal for Home

Needed for an unused room that I spotted mice droppings in. Tried one out from a friend and was shocked. I chose to try this method bc plug-ins tear my sinuses up to the point of an infection. Now I will say that I need a mask when I open the door lol....BUT I have YET to see another dropping and it's been since Christmas. The scent seeps thru the walls and baseboards when placed on the floor and creates a very unattractive scent for "visitors". I am still able to light candles and my oil mist diffuser and enjoy the aroma (meaning, the scent is strong/lasting, but not overpowering). I also noticed that my plant bugs have disappeared, so I did some googling and found the peppermint scent is also a deterrent for flies, gnats, etc. Could have just been a one time thing...but I don't have time to find out. Was super excited to see that these were online. Just purchased my own batch as the scent is just now barely starting to fade. Great value.

OK, I feel like I hardly leave negative reviews, or many reviews at all for that matter. But when something is really great - or really bad - I feel compelled to leave a review. These smell great for the first hour and if you are within 12 inches of it. But after that they are non-existent. I have one sitting in my approx 120ft² office and I cant even smell it. I have an ventilation opening that is pumping air all day to increase air movement and I cant smell the "freshener" at all. Not even on day one let alone the 2nd or 3rd day now. Its too bad, its smells good and I would love to have the whole room smell that way. But I dont think it would work to freshen a desk drawer let alone a room of any size. I am going to request a refund!

Used it to put in the bottom of the trash can and it seems to work really well at keeping odors neutralized with a hint of mint. Would be nice if you could mix-and-match three different fragrances to "test" instead of having to buy all three the same fragrance...more cost effective to buy three at a time...but will buy singles until I'm "sold" on the overall fragrance and longevity. (The cedar, bake shop and orange will be my next choices.) What I found to be particularly nice for a change was that there are no smelly, slimy, gooey balls that leak out of the packaging...instead, a well packed, sturdy disc with a securely sealed pull-top adhesive seal to lock in the aroma.

Smells amazing when you first open it. After about a week, the smell is very minimal. You have to get very close to smell it. It was great at first, but I wish the scent would have lasted for a longer time.

The scent was annoyingly strong at first but it has faded. However the overall scent of my home has improved ever since I got this item. So that is a win in my book. I will likely buy the other scents as well.

Update 10/8/2021: Mice came back this year. Bought more of these deodorizers but mice just won't leave now. It's a nightmare. I've tried everything I could think or researched. Sorry, it looks like they build ammunity to the smell or it's so cold they deal with the smell. Extremely annoying! I am about to tell you an excellent use for these deoderizers that I do not believe is mentioned anywhere and most people may not think of. Every winter I am invaded by mice. I can catch a couple in regular mouse traps, a couple in glue traps, a couple in electronic mouse traps and so on. I can never get totally rid of them until summer comes around. I know this because there are a few places where they leave their "trails" every single day. I even read that they don't like mint so I tried mint sprays and incense, which did not work either. However, I bought 6 of these and put them all over the house and cleaned their daily "trails". The mice moved out the same day! No more "trails" to clean up every day. If you have a mouse problem I would definitely recommend. Oh, I also bought some for my girlfriend and she has not seen any mice since then either!

Sadly, these smell good (like real peppermint oil), and they didn't bother any of my allergies, but I could barely smell them. I thought maybe my living room was too large so I put out a second one... Still couldn't smell it. Then the third, but still never noticed the smell. I really wanted to keep these around regularly. However I see no purpose if the scent isn't noticeable. I use fresh laundry scent in my closets, otherwise I would've tried it there (wondering if maybe a small enclosed space could help).

December 2022 Update: New stock has arrived with a new label and the strength is what I’m used to. If you have tried them and felt (or read reviews stating) that they don’t have much of a scent, it’s most likely due to their being old stock in the warehouse. I have it on Subscribe and Save for every few months and the latest shipment is fresh and the label differs from what I received previously. I adjust my 4 stars to 5, hoping they continue to produce a peppermint option and make it a part of their regular rotation year round. This is by far the best and freshest scent they have come out with. We’ve been using Citrus Magic for years in our closets, cars, basement, etc. I always wished they’d make a peppermint, and they finally did, but it’s only seasonal. I was excited to see they were still offered on here and added to my Subscribe & Save. Unfortunately, the potency gets progressively less with each order. These may be left over stock from last winter and are just not as strong. Hoping they’ll come back with fresh stock for this year. This makes it hard to rate as the product is hands down 5 stars and my favorite, just displeased with recent stock.
