Ok we've had a spider problem here and I am TERRIFIED of them. I read that if you spray water mixed with peppermint essential oil, it wards them off. So I got some and have sprayed the doors, baseboards, vents, etc before I realized that this may be an issue for Matilda!
I've called the vet (who doesn't know but doesn't think it's an issue), the ASPCA poison control center (that won't let you talk to a real person unless you pay $65!), and researched online (with conflicting opinions).
It's a really small amount of peppermint (30 drops total in a 32oz bottle of water and I barely sprayed any of it) but in case Matilda decides to shove her face into where I've sprayed, is this something I should worry about?
