Mint grows to spite you.  That is its only misson in life.  Trust me, I know.

Sorry, but mint is no help for bugs.  Snails love 'em.  The mint just grows
faster than snails can eat 'em, so even SNAILS can't do them in.  Everything
loves mint.  Ants, earwigs, slugs, everything.  They just can't KILL IT!!

Now, here you've hit on it.  ANY mint, even the scented ones freshen anything.
Put them in your linen closets and you towels will smell SO sweet.  Also in a
lace pillow, like a sachet.  And, of course, there is tea.  Peppermint,
spearmint, fresh or dried.  Fresh leaves in iced teais WONDERFUL on a hot day!

Hope these are some useful suggestions.  Good luck!
