Peppermint – a fragrant weapon against rodents
Another pungent addition to our list, peppermint naturally contains two of the main compounds used in rodent repellents: pulegone and menthone. What’s more, peppermint oil is often praised as an inexpensive and environmentally friendly repellant to many pests, not just rats.
