About 10\u00bd years ago I came across a rat I had to get rid of. The business wasn’t pleasant; thankfully, it’s not happened since. At that time I read that rats hate mint, so you can use it to repel them.<\/p>\n
Over the years I’ve thought about mint repelling rats: it sounds like such an easy way to prevent them. Is the solution just so simple?<\/p>\n
Recently my wife brought home some new garbage bags. I opened the package to be greeted by a strong mint aroma, which surprised me. It was dark: I didn’t read the package, so didn’t know they were treated with mint. The idea returned to me about rat repulsion using mint: Was the company that made these trash bags on-board with that idea?<\/p>\n
In the daylight I read the package. Yes, indeed: the bags are purposely treated with mint to repel not only rats, but also raccoons. The bags are by Frank, for anyone curious.<\/p>\n
I’ve checked two sources that confirm the repulsion of rats and\/or raccoons by the smell of mint.<\/p>\n
