Mice, shrews and other rodents threaten the possibility of getting a good harvest from your "hundred square meters".

Belnovosti online publication expert, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told how experienced gardeners fight pest infestations with the help of familiar plants.

Thus, experienced farmers know that daffodil bulbs will help to withstand the attack of rodents. In summer, they should be distributed in the beds, moving them with coriander stems, and then covered with mulch.

By the way, dry coriander stems can be tied around tree trunks, and its seeds can be scattered in different corners if you don’t want to meet uninvited guests.

If you find mouse holes on your property, place colchicum branches with leaves at the entrance – the tailed residents will no longer appear on the threshold of your home.

Elderberry has a similar effect – decorate your garden with this bush to stop seeing voles here.

It is not for nothing that the plant called black root is popularly called a mouse eater - its smell is disgusting to rodents, and its rough seeds cling tightly to their fur.

Finally, mice would not like to smell the aroma of wormwood or white sweet clover, so the pests will avoid the beds where these plants were planted.
