RATS?

by Yulka

Answered

I have this arbor covered with ivy. It was beautiful but then I saw 2 rats up there. Freaked me out. Had a guy come get rid of the ivy. Bought a trap got the rats. But now what? It looks ugly I need to put some green back up but am afraid it will attract rats again. What do I plant that will not attract rats?

Do you have room to plant Lavender at the base? Rodents don't like the smell.

You might also try climbing rose bushes. I’m thinking that they wouldn’t like the thorns.
