What the heck are these for?!

I have no idea what these are actually SUPPOSED to be used for. I drilled holes in the tops and all sides, filled them with lil' rectangles of felt, and then poured peppermint oil all over the felt (and myself). I had read somewhere that all kinds of animals HATE peppermint. There has been something coming in my front courtyard every few weeks in the early morning. It's either a squirrel (probably not.it would be there during day, too), a big turtle (that would be nice, I like turtles), an armadillo (again, I'd be okay with that), a raccoon (still okay.there is nothing resembling food in my courtyard and they're cute.and it's not like I'm letting it in my house or I'm gonna cuddle it), OR.a mouse (cute, but NO!).or even worse.a rat (HELL NO!). I decided to not take chances and bought all the stuff to keep the mystery beast away that I could find. So I made these peppermint boxes to place strategically at all doors, bought several gallons of peppermint rodent repellent spray for inside my garage and around the courtyard perimeter (I'm not using it all at once, of course), and sprinkled copious amounts of cinnamon on all my mulch. This means war. I'm waging war against an unknown enemy.and I hope it's not something cute. Which is why I went with repellent rather than booby traps. Can't have cute critters being blown to smithereens in my courtyard.

Pros
  • Perfect little project box!
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in high moisture environments
