Rats will flee your garden if you put one kitchen item out that they hate
While you may not always spot rats in your garden, there could be tell-tale signs of their sneaky presence. The good news is that getting rid of these unwelcome guests might be simpler than you think, as a common household item keeps them at bay. There are numerous natural methods to discourage rats from invading your garden without harming other wildlife. Rats and other pests can carry diseases and create a mess by burrowing into parts of your lawn, so it's crucial to deter them safely. There are various ways to start making your garden less appealing to these pests, from citronella oil to onions, but one method stands out for its simplicity, reports The Mirror. Rats tend to avoid strong-smelling foods such as onions, garlic and vinegar. Vinegar, in particular, is an easy and cost-effective solution to the problem. However, there are other strategies too. From a gardening perspective, maintaining short grass can help minimise potential hiding spots for rats. They're also not fans of certain plant scents, like lavender and mint, so planting these around your garden could serve as a natural deterrent. The aroma is believed to be unappealing to them, and you can scatter small amounts of these plants across your garden.

Onions contain sulphur compounds that can irritate rats' eyes and noses. Although it's improbable that a rat would ingest a significant amount, experts warn that large quantities can be toxic if consumed, so it's best to scatter small slices around your garden. Following these straightforward tips will help you effortlessly maintain your garden in top condition without threatening the wildlife inhabiting your outdoor area.

Two people dead after helicopter crashes into barge on Mississippi River
Two people have died after a helicopter crashed into a barge on the Mississippi River. The helicopter crash occurred at the 200-mile marker on the river in St Charles County, Missouri. Emergency crews from Missouri and Illinois responded. Smoke could be seen rising from a ship on the famous river following the crash, which occurred around 25 miles north of St Louis. Initial reporting of the crash indicates the helicopter struck power lines before crashing into a barge close to the Melvin Price Locks and Dam site on the Missouri side of the river. Local media reports say the barges a helicopter crashed into on the Mississippi River were carrying chemicals and flammable items.
