Mice are a dangerous pest. These animals often "attack" trees and bushes.

Rodents can also negatively affect the condition of many garden crops. Thus, mice can damage fruits and plant roots.

To preserve the harvest of fruits, berries and vegetables, summer residents use special preparations against mice.

But it is possible to do without “chemistry”, which often has a negative impact on the soil and the crops themselves.

There is a natural remedy that can prevent rodent infestations. And that is chamomile.

That is why cunning gardeners often plant this flowering plant in their country plots.

Chamomile as a pest control

A member of the Asteraceae family, it acts as a protective agent due to its special smell.

Rodents do not perceive the aroma of chamomile well, so they try not to approach the area where this plant is located.

In other words, the presence of chamomile in the garden is an almost 100% guarantee of protection of woody plants and berry bushes from attack by rodents.

It is worth noting that chamomile can also be used in various summer cottages. For example, in a barn.

The flowers should be used in dried form, simply by placing them inside the building that needs to be protected from the “visit” of mice.
