I currently have some Indian stick insect nymphs, and I have a massive fear of spiders. I've heard mint is meant to be good for keeping them away, as the smell messes with their senses or something? So I'm considering buying a mint plant for my room (where I keep my stick insects). My only worry is that it will mess with my stick insects the same way it messes with a spider, but when I've Googled it, I can only find results from the AI overview, which I find is normally wrong. Does anyone know whether or not the mint will mess with my stick insects? Many thanks in advance!
