It also deters grasshoppers! One year we were inundated with them. Some were proper locusts too. They freak me out! They would hang out on my front doorknob and I'd be throwing my mail at them like, "LET ME ENTER MY APARTMENT YOU CREEPY BASTARDS!!" Once my neighbor came to help because they heard me. LOL
So I googled anything to deter them, and: calendula/marigold. So i started putting pots of it by my front door. Haven't had a grasshopper on my doorknob since! ;)
Hahahahahaha oh man I just laughed my ass off at that!!!
I love grasshoppers, I think they're so cute haha
I had one show up on the dash of the car the other day when we had brought home all our lentil plants, he must have come along for the ride and hopped out into the van. I was pretty scared when he turned and looked at me, I was like 'DONT YOU JUMP ON MY FACE WHILE IM DRIVING!!' Hahaha I had to pull over and get him out!
Lol! I would have gotten into an accident probably. XD
LoL it was actually scary!
