Hmm, I can't grow peppermint in the recess, but maybe around the dome would work?
Good point about the escape route possibly making things worse. There's plenty of evidence that previous owners have dealt with rodent issues, so I wouldn't want to reintroduce that possibility.
Yeah, dome level would do it.
Probably even be enough to have one inside on the windowsill.
Rodents have an insane sense of smell, and they hate peppermint because the smell is so strong. So it would probably be enough to keep them from going in there.
