RATS, ROACHES, ANTS AND MOSQUITOES
Pennyroyal, Potash and Cayenne too much for them. —The Scientific American says:
1. Against Mosquitoes. —If mosquitoes or other bloodsuckers infest our sleeping rooms at night, we uncork a bottle of the oil of pennyroyal, and these animals leave in great haste, nor will they return so long as the room is-loaded with the fumes of that aromatic herb.
2. Eats, to Drive Away. —If rats enter the cellar, a little powdered potash thrown in their holes, or mixed with meal and scattered in their runways, never fails to drive them away.
