However, not all gardeners and vegetable growers are satisfied with such cruel methods.

Some people want to save the harvest and not harm the mice.

Fortunately, this is quite possible. It is enough to use "repellent" plants.

So, which representatives of flora are able to “drive away” rodents?

Chamomile

This plant has a strong aroma that mice don't like.

To drive away uninvited “guests” from your country house, it is enough to place picked daisies in the most vulnerable areas.

Tansy

The specific smell of tansy is extremely unpleasant for rodents.

You need to use a dry plant: just place it next to the harvested crop.

Sagebrush
