## Resource

Summer’s the perfect time to stop rats before they take over your garden—when young rats are scouting for food like fruit, birdseed, or your prized plants. Planting strong-smelling herbs like peppermint, lavender, rosemary, and basil creates a natural, fragrant barrier that deters them with their sensitive noses. These herbs also mask food smells, pushing rats away before they settle in. Peppermint’s menthol punch is especially effective—just keep it potted to control its spread. Act now, and you’ll avoid a full-blown infestation later. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
