What to expect, stage by stage
First 72 Hours
The barrier goes up in minutes
Five oils fill a 65 sq. ft. zone around the pod — nothing to spray, nothing to plug in.
The first alarm fires
To mice, rats and squirrels, concentrated peppermint reads like a predator nearby. They back out of the zone.
Insect trails go dark
Ants, roaches and spiders lose the chemical breadcrumbs they follow to food and shelter.
Days 4–7
Scouts stop coming back
A mouse tests the gap once. An ant colony sends one scout. Both turn around with nothing worth returning to.
Colonies lose their supply line
No trail to food means no workers sent — and a colony that stops growing.
Nests get abandoned
Attic corners, cabinet backs, cushion bays: nowhere in the zone reads as safe enough to settle.
Days 8–14
No tolerance, ever
Poison loses to resistance over time. A hardwired scent response doesn't wear off.
Nothing to learn
Traps get memorized and avoided. An invisible scent zone can't be.
Nothing to check
No bait to refill, no trap to reset, nothing your kids or your dog can get into. The pod just keeps releasing.
Days 15–30
Your home is off their map
No re-marked trails, no return visits. They've moved on to somewhere that makes sense to them.
Still at full strength
One pod holds the blend for a full 30 days. Swap it at day 30 and the zone never opens up.
Zero cleanup
No carcasses, no glue boards, no chemical smell — just a hint of peppermint and cinnamon.
Inside every green pod
Nothing synthetic. Just the plants pests have steered clear of for centuries.
Why a green pod works
Every pest in your home navigates by chemistry — scent trails, pheromone markers, urine maps. A PestBlock Pod™ doesn't poison them. It makes that chemistry unreadable.
The pod releases the 5-Oil Botanical Core™ into the air: a 65 sq. ft. cloud of peppermint, cinnamon, citronella, clove and rosemary. Fresh to you. Overwhelming to them.
The vapor saturates the chemical receptors pests rely on. Trails, markers and signals stop making sense. Their map of your home goes blank.
A disoriented pest is a pest in danger. Instinct takes over: they leave — and as long as the barrier stands, they don't come back to re-mark your home.
FOR INSECTS
Insects run on chemical signals. Ants lay pheromone trails to food. Roaches mark the spots they hide in. Bed bugs, fleas and ticks track a host by scent. Spiders settle where prey trails cross.
Flood those receptors with concentrated plant oils and the colony loses its map: scouts can’t report back, workers can’t follow, and every nesting site reads as hostile. They move on.
FOR RODENTS
Mice, rats and squirrels see the world through their nose: urine markers, safe routes, food memory. Peppermint and cinnamon overload that system and fire the same alarm a predator’s scent sets off.
A rodent that can’t read its territory feels exposed. It does not tolerate being disoriented — it flees, and it won’t settle where the barrier stands.
House mice rely primarily on smell to navigate, find food and recognize their nest and trails (UC IPM, Pest Notes: House Mouse). Ants and roaches rely on pheromone trails to forage and signal harborage.
Plant-based, start to finish
Strong enough to clear out mice and insects. Mild enough to sit on the kitchen floor next to the dog bowl. Every ingredient in PestBlock Pods™ is a plant oil you already know — peppermint, cinnamon, clove — with no synthetic chemicals, no residue, and nothing to keep away from curious hands or paws.
PLACEMENT GUIDE
A pod goes to work within minutes and keeps going for 30 days. Placement is the only thing you have to get right — here’s the simple version.
One pod per spot pests use: corners, under sinks, pantry, garage, attic hatch.
Five oils spread across 65 sq. ft. — nothing to spray or plug in.
Nothing to check or empty. Swap the pod at day 30.
Kitchen, bathroom, pantry and every door or vent
Every room, plus the garage and basement
Every floor, the attic hatch, garage and shed
One per corner, cushion bay, feed room or trunk

QUESTIONS WE HEAR EVERY DAY
The zone around a pod is active within minutes. Most customers tell us the change shows up inside the first 48 hours: no fresh droppings, no scratching at night, no line of ants on the counter.
Give it the first week for entry points to go quiet and nests to empty out. The one thing that decides your result is coverage — enough pods to reach every spot pests use.
Pests return to a house because their old trails and markers are still there to follow. With a pod in place, those trails stay unreadable for 30 days, so nothing gets re-marked and nothing gets re-colonized.
Keep swapping pods monthly and your home simply stays off their map.
Mice, rats and squirrels navigate by scent; ants, roaches, spiders, bed bugs, fleas and ticks navigate by chemical signals. The 5-Oil Botanical Core™ scrambles both, so one pod works on the whole list — not one pest at a time.
For insects, place pods where you see activity: under the sink, behind appliances, along baseboards, near beds or pet bedding. For rodents, cover entry points, the garage, the attic and the pantry.
Not at all. Every ingredient is a plant oil — the same peppermint and cinnamon you'd cook with. No synthetic chemicals, no poison, no toxic residue. Thousands of families with toddlers, dogs, cats, horses and chickens use PestBlock Pods™ every day. As with any scented household product, set the pods where a toddler or a pet won't chew on them.
One pod per spot: a room corner, under the sink, the pantry, the garage. An 18-pod bundle covers most homes. With a larger house, a garage and a basement, go for 5 packs and cover everything at once.
Each pod reaches about 65 sq. ft., so spread them where pests enter and hide rather than in the middle of a room.
Sprays and sachets usually rely on one or two diluted oils, and the scent is gone in a couple of days. A pod holds five concentrated oils — peppermint at 40%, plus cinnamon, citronella, clove and rosemary — in a slow-release form that stays at full strength for 30 days. Five oils working together means there's no single scent to get used to, and nothing to reapply.
About 30 days, depending on airflow. In a closed space like a pantry or a car trunk, count on a full month. In open, well-ventilated areas some customers get 30–45 days. When the scent fades, it's time to swap it.
None. No tools, no bait, no batteries, no refills. Set a pod down where pests enter or hide, and replace it every 30 days. That's the whole routine.
No. Ultrasonic plug-ins are a noise pests learn to ignore. A pod overwhelms the sense of smell they depend on to find food and find their way home — a hardwired survival response, not a habit they can unlearn. There's nothing to build a tolerance to.
Fresh peppermint with a touch of cinnamon — most customers say they like it. It's the concentrated blend of all five oils that pests can't stand. You get a clean, pleasant scent; they get sensory overload.
