OT: Catnip may be cat's meow as repellent

This isn't TCM, but I'm forwarding it in because so many members of this

list have an interest in natural pest control.

 

We have a lot of catnip growing around our house this year. I can't say

it's done anything to help the mosquito problem outside that we get during

the monsoon, but we've had very, very few cockroaches inside this year. We

didn't plant all the catnip around the house this year - the plants are

volunteers. We let them stay because we like catnip. We didn't know about

the anti-cockroach properties until today but had noticed that we've seen

very few cockroaches inside this summer - in contrast to other years.
