-

-

Simple meaning
“Some plants may naturally discourage pests from coming near your home, and the article explains which eight plants you could consider.”
One caution: claims that a particular plant will drive away mice or completely eliminate mosquitoes/spiders are often overstated. Plants can sometimes contribute to pest management, but they generally aren’t a substitute for removing food/water sources, sealing entry points, or using appropriate pest-control methods.
