Rats can be a nuisance in gardens, but there are certain smells which could deter them from entering your outdoor space. According to experts, there's one common item which could make them 'sprint in the opposite direction'
Gardeners who are distressed by the sight of rats in their gardens may find solace in advice from Ash Read, founder of Indoor Plants. He has shared his expertise on how to deter these unwelcome visitors.
Read also highlights the effectiveness of peppermint, not just as a tea ingredient but as a rat repellent due to its potent scent: "Meanwhile, peppermint isn't just great for tea, its robust aroma sends rats sprinting in the opposite direction." He further emphasises the significance of maintaining cleanliness and orderliness in combating rat infestations, advising: "Rats also thrive in messy, overgrown places. So, make sure to maintain a neat garden. Short grass, minimal overgrowth and organised garden tools are your allies."
