Certified ExpertA.You may want to think about planting these in container, as once you start them, they will spread, and take over just about anything in its way. If you still choose to put this in ground, make sure it is not in the same bed, as they could take over your existing flowers.

Certified ExpertA.My research showed that using mint as a bug repellent meant rubbing the leaves of the mint plant on your skin to repel mosquitoes, ants, etc. I didn't find any REPUTABLE source that said certain plants repel spiders.
I am attaching an article though that gives you other options for controlling spiders inside and out:

June 8, 2020Q.Peppermint Plant Doesn’t Look Like Pictures
Hi, so I recently bought two peppermint plants a few months ago. They have been growing rapidly. I noticed, however, when searching how to properly care for them they do not look anything like the photos of normal peppermints plants. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I need help figuring out why they look this way and not the way I see other photos of peppermint plants look. Thank you.
