? Peppermint Oil Question

How long does the peppermint stench (yes, stench to me, hate that smell - but it seems to be working so I'll put up with it) last after springtime "de-winterization"? Does it disappear with a day or two of airing out or does it linger?

FWIW, about 2 tbsp p-oil in each of 3 bowls (garage, galley & tunnel) with cotton ball wicks.

    Critter Repellent

    I use this stuff. Put a couple of scoops into the cloth sock (ball) and toss under the camper or truck. Does not stink up the camper and keeps the critters away.

    Put a couple of trays of d-Con near doors just incase and so far have not had any of the d-Con touched/eaten.

    I had read on a internet search that after you remove the "smelly" things from your rig in the spring time...moth balls and such, place a 5 gal bucket of charcoal in the rig for a couple of days and that will absorb the smell.
    Not sure if it works or not...it was a internet search and we all know how true that is LOL
