Mice in the garden are not uncommon. They can harm plants and trees by gnawing through stems, bark, and eating seeds and fruits.
Don't put all your hopes on domestic cats, not all of them agree to do this dirty work.
It is also not always possible to deal with rodents using chemicals. Chemicals can harm plants, because they get into the soil.
Therefore, we offer two effective methods of combating these animals.
First option
Plant red or black elderberries in your garden.
Mice will not live in the place where the plant grows, because the roots of this plant contain hydrocyanic acid, which has a detrimental effect on rodents.
Second option
Spread tomato tops throughout the garden.
This specific aroma is very unpleasant for rodents, so they will not go to the garden.
The tops can be placed between the rows and next to the fence.
