Green onions does real good!

Does growing mint arount the foundation of the home repel ants?
Mint leaves are often used by many campers to repel mosquitoes. It is also said that extracts from mint leaves have a particular mosquito killing capability.



Mint oil is also being used as an environmentally friendly insecticide for its ability to kill some common pests like wasps, hornets, ants and cockroaches.



Merely growing the plant around the foundation does not repel ants. It still has to be processed before using it as an incsecticide.
Reply:I'm not sure, but I do know that ants don't like tansy or peppermint.
