Jading and Repelling

Country people have tried for centuries to repel 'pests' and reward 'work' animals.


Repelling 'Snakes' 


Repelling Snakes and Lizards: Vinegar


Repelling 'Felix': citrus scents are said to repel cats of all sizes and species.


Attracting 'Felix': Catnip (Nepeta sp.), Valerian (Valeriana officinalis), interestingly Valerian is said to be a favourite of Rats and Mice.


Attracting Homo Sapiens: Males-Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), aka "English Lavender", supposedly, used by prostitutes, centuries before the 'current' scientific research.   'Vervain Aquae Vitis' - male and female, male and male, female and female in 'accord' from a Medieval text.
