This month's "Hobby Farms" magazine says that rats are allergic to peppermint. Anyone heard of this??? It says real peppermint oil (not just scented) will send them on there way. I think I'll pick up some peppermint EO when I drop off the eggs at the health food store this aft and try it. Should make the barn smell like a candycane...merry christmas chickens!!
Did you try the peppermint oil? How did it work? We have rats at our cabin (outside, not in thank heavens!) But each time I leave I try to put all food in roden proof containers etc. so as not to entice them. I would appreciate any suggestions for getting rid of the critters!
Rat solution???
