People who suspect mouse activity report that the mouse goes away after they’ve thrown handfuls of spearmint in the places where the varmint was seen.
3. Bamboo
Bamboo is a grass whose very looks of slender segmented trunks and soft, green leaves have a calming effect. Species can grow from a few inches to 100 feet tall. It’s best to grow bamboo in a pot or in an area with a barrier around it, as the plant can become invasive.
