Lemon Grass ...

hello Mitraa, that is certainly a nice way to get rid of mice.i am gonna try it too.lets see the results.i am not sure about this thing.but i have heard that lemon grass has some mild insect repellant properties. lemon grass is a fresh uplifting oil that fosters a sense of balance.it is an excellent antiseptic and deodorising agent.so it is used as a medical herb and in perfumes.lemon grass oil has antifungal properties. it is not lemon grass actually but a close cousin of it called as cymbogon nardus,which is its scientific name,that provides a distinctive smell.and this is due to the citonella oil present in it.for this it is used in mosquito repellant candles. so i think may be that is the reason that your friend said it will turn away mice.best of luck and get rid of mice soon.lol.

I wish you the best of luck! :) I hope the lemon grass leaves will help to keep mice away. Is the odor of these leaves pleasant?

I do not if the mice will repelled mice, but I love lemon grass tea. My parents use to give us when I was kid.

Actually, the lemongrass has many medicinal benefits. We use it also as food additives. Based on the article I read (http://www.gardensablaze.com/HerbLemonGrassMed.htm, Lemongrass is an herb with a plethora of uses medicinally, from being a stomach soother to being an effective insect repellant and fungicide. Lemongrass may help also reduce cholesterol in certain individuals. Externally, an Oil can be made with Lemongrass to be applied at 10 drops or so directly to the affected area in cases of athlete'sfoot, cuts, scrapes, lower back pain, sciatica, sprains, tendonitis, neuralgia, circulatory problems, and rheumatism. It can also be tried on the face to help clear up acne and clean skin pores, and the fresh leaves can be crushed and rubbed on the skin as an on-the-spot outdoor insect repellent. Lemongrass can be used in the bath for a soothing aromatherapy experience by placing a mesh bag with a handful of leaves under the running bath water, then letting the bag soak in the water with you as you bathe. Very relaxing. Lemongrass is safe for use in moderation, but should be avoided by young children, pregnant women, and people with kidney or liver disease.
