Get rid of rats from your house with plants: A natural and ecological solution

1.2 Cultivation conditions

To grow rue successfully, choose a sunny location in your garden. This plant prefers well-drained soil but requires regular watering to thrive. Here are some practical tips:

Watering : Keep the soil constantly moist, but never soggy. You can check the soil’s moisture content by inserting a dry stick into it: if it comes out clean and slightly moist, everything is perfect.
Care : Prune the plant as needed to encourage dense, compact growth. This also allows it to produce more essential oils, which are responsible for its pungent odor.

1.3 Advantages

The use of rue offers several advantages:

Environmentally friendly : By choosing this method, you avoid the use of potentially dangerous chemical substances.
Easy to care for : This plant is robust and adapts well to different climates.
Additional protection : In addition to its rat-repelling effect, rue also attracts pollinating insects and can even deter certain parasites such as fleas or mosquitoes.
