Rodent-Repelling Greens: 6 Powerful Plants That Naturally Keep Rats and Mice at Bay
If you’re tired of rats and mice sneaking into your home, there’s a natural solution that can help—plants! Some plants have strong smells or properties that rodents simply can’t stand. Instead of using harsh chemicals or traps, you can grow these plants around your house or in your garden to keep rodents away. Here are six powerful, natural options:
1. Mint
Mint has a strong, refreshing smell that humans love—but rodents hate. Its scent overwhelms the sensitive noses of rats and mice, making them avoid areas where mint grows. You can plant mint in pots near doors, windows, or in the garden.
Tip: Crush some mint leaves and place them in small bowls inside your home to keep pests away.
2. Lavender
Lavender is well-known for its calming scent, but rodents find it irritating. Plant lavender near entrances or in your yard to repel mice and rats naturally.
Bonus: It smells great and adds beauty to your space!
3. Marigold
