Angelica and eucalyptus
Like sage, pepper or laurel leaves, the angelic proves to be a remarkable natural repellent. However, it is not so easy to get this plant. If you put your hand on a few, place angelic branches where you saw the rodents. The same applies to eucalyptus. Rodents are mainly repelled by their odour.
Place them in high-traffic areas and along the walls. In addition, you can use eucalyptus, lemongrass or even sage essential oils and soak cotton balls in the same places. The same applies to plants with a strong odour such as the euphor, the imperial crown, the hyacinth, the carnation or the incarvillea.
