About

Mint-X Rodent Repellent Trash Bags were invented by a New York City family business that has been in the heavy-duty trash bag industry for over 50 years.

In 2003, one simple question from their biggest customer changed everything: "can't you put something in your trash bags that keeps away rodents? "
After many years of research and development, the founders of Mint-X developed a proprietary mint oil blend, using only food-grade, plant-derived ingredients that smell nice to humans, but highly unpleasant to rodents.

For humans, certain mint scented products are used to open sinuses; for rodents, due to their keener sense of smell, that same mint scent that humans enjoy is overwhelming, making it a powerful deterrent when housing trash. With necessity being the mother of invention and with the founders' desire to keep a customer happy, Mint-X Rodent Repellent Trash Bags were born!

Presently, we're the world's only EPA-registered and patented rodent repellent trash bag. We're sold across the US in Walmart, Kroger, Publix, Home Depot, Lowe's, Costco, and many other retailers. Mostly recently, Mint-X expanded its offering to Canada, Australia, and India.
