Signs with elderberry
The plant will become a talisman of good luck for you. If you plant it near your home, it is believed that lightning will never strike the elder, and many call its branches a talisman against dark forces.
Elderberry against mice
Elderberry is good for fighting mice and rats, as its leaves contain a small amount of hydrocyanic acid.
Gardeners often use mousetraps, traps and chemicals to control mice, but you can resort to safer, but at the same time effective methods, using plants with a strong smell (elderberry, chamomile, wormwood).
Elderberry has a strong smell that will make mice panic and retreat from the garden in a short time.
