Aromatic Properties:
Peppermint, a fragrant herb known for its strong and refreshing scent, contains compounds like menthol that are believed to have insect-repelling properties. The potent aroma of peppermint is thought to interfere with the sensitive olfactory systems of pests, causing discomfort and deterring their presence.
Mice and Rodents:
The strong smell of peppermint is said to be offensive to mice and rodents. The theory suggests that placing peppermint plants or using peppermint oil in areas where mice frequent could discourage them from nesting or traversing these spaces.
