flies (even at this time of year)
Not one came indoors in summer, now as soon as you open the screen door, they come in as if they are hanging around waiting.
Anything I can plant near the back door, or a climber or something, that would MAYBE deter them? Thanks as always for your help. Katherine |

Katherine - apparently mint or pennyroyal are used thusly. you would need to step on or otherwise lightly crush pennyroyal to bring out the scent. insects seem to dislike both of these. as an aside, pennyroyal lawns used to be grown by aristocrats so that single ladies who found themselves mysteriously pregnant would walk on the lawn to try to bring on a miscarriage. hm! kylie |
