The Mint

Among the most effective remedies to repel rats and insects is mint. Perfect for growing in pots indoors and in the garden, it gives off a strong odor that is especially unpleasant for rodents, spiders, cockroaches, etc. But if all these parasites can’t stand its smell, we humans love it! Furthermore, in addition to its repellent action, it is a precious ally in the kitchen, perfect for enriching our dishes with its incomparable aromatic note. Prepare an infusion and spray on the most infested areas. You’ll be surprised to see all these little beasts leaving the place!

Basil is a very popular aromatic plant in the kitchen. It’s hard to imagine spaghetti without the fragrant touch of this unique herb! But, what you didn’t know is that this herb is perfect for repelling rats and   insects  , since they hate its intoxicating smell. Against insects, in particular, it is possible to use a very effective basil spray. To prepare it, simply soak a few basil leaves in four tablespoons of vodka and four tablespoons of boiling water. You will be delighted with the result!

Laurel

A symbol of wisdom, laurel is also a powerful natural remedy to scare away rats and insects from the house. This evergreen shrub, easy to grow and with an irresistible smell, allows you to keep many small unwanted pests away from your garden and inside your home, without harming or killing them. As a bonus, if you spray it in various corners, a wonderful aromatic smell will fill the house.

Calle Jardin

It is a plant that grows spontaneously on the shores of lakes, but can be grown almost anywhere with little effort. If there are areas at risk of infestation inside or outside your home, this is a great ally. In fact, just placing a few twigs of the plant is enough for insects and mice to escape due to its pungent smell. Alternatively, you can take advantage of the repellent action of this plant combined with its beauty, choosing a decorative plant to plant in the garden or on the terrace.

Both in infusion to perfume certain rooms, such as the bathroom, and in small sachets to install in your dressing room to freshen your clothes.

Take the opportunity to use it without moderation in various areas of the house!
