### 🌱 How to Use Mint to Keep Pests Away:
#### 1. **Grow Mint Near Entry Points**
Plant mint in pots and place them near your **front door, windowsills, patio, or balcony**. The scent will create a natural barrier that keeps insects and rodents from even approaching your home.
#### 2. **DIY Peppermint Spray**
Mix the following in a spray bottle:
– 1 cup of water
– 10–15 drops of peppermint essential oil
– 1 teaspoon of white vinegar (optional, for extra punch)
Shake well and spray around **baseboards, door frames, cabinets, and under sinks**. Use weekly or as needed.
#### 3. **Mint Sachets**
Fill small cloth bags with **dried mint leaves** and place them in drawers, closets, the attic, or garage. These sachets not only smell great—they’re pest repellents that last for weeks.
#### 4. **Crush Fresh Mint Leaves**
For a quick fix, crush a few fresh mint leaves and rub them around areas where you’ve seen pests. You’ll release the oils instantly for a burst of bug-repelling power.
