You have probably heard about the existence of plants that have the ability to repel mice.
The top 5 weeds that have this quality were compiled by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
1. Marsh Labrador tea
The green parts of the marsh wild rosemary contain essential oil - its aroma for mice is comparable to the smell of death, which is probably why they avoid places where this herb grows.
2. White sweet clover
White sweet clover gives off a coumarin smell that is somewhat reminiscent of the "aroma" of freshly cut grass. Pests cannot stand this smell.
3. Wormwood
This aromatic herb can repel not only mice, but also some insect pests. Why not take advantage of this ability and plant wormwood around the perimeter of your garden? And the branches do a good job of this task – fresh ones can be laid out on the beds, and dry ones – in places where the harvest is stored.
4. Tansy
Have you found uninvited guests in grey fur coats and with long tails in your cellar? Try to show the rodents that they are not welcome here by spreading tansy in the vegetable storage. Due to the discomfort that has arisen, the pests will no longer appear here.
5. Field chamomile
If you have chamomile growing on your property, you can use it not only to improve your health, but also to protect your property from rodents. For this purpose, bunches of chamomile should be laid out in places where mice have been spotted.
