Can peppermint oil keep away rats?

Hi I have used peppermint oil for a year now to keep fiel mice away. They come up from the basement to the main house every August for some reason. By diluting 2 table spoons of peppermint oil with 2 cups of water in a spray bottle, and spraying all the areas nice use to come into the house, I have been able to keep them away.

But you have to keep the cat hungry enough to want to catch the rats.
