Does Corsican mint repel bugs?

While the oil repels mosquitos, it cannot repel the insect alone. But it can repel some other bugs when the oval leaves are crushed, as it has a strong aromatic smell.

Corsican Mint
Corsican Mint is the smallest member of the mint family, also known as mini mint. This diminutive mint creeps along, hugging the ground with its deeply scented leaves and tiny purple flowers. The leaves are not as palatable like peppermint but release a more intense scent and are used as the flavoring of creme de mint. It likes a moist, dappled light location and can be used in containers or as a filler around stepping stones. Corsican Mint is grown as an annual. It will often self-seed in colder zones. Spreads well even during its first year.   10 multi-pelleted seed      PLANTING Mentha req

Corsican Mint (Mentha requienii) – You Grow Girl
Dappled Light: Mistake number 2 was planting the Lilliputian Corsican mint (they don’t grow more than an inch tall) nearby much taller mints. Over the course of the summer, the monster mints grew and took over the space as mints are want to do. Corsican mint likes dappled light, but I do not believe it likes to be shaded out completely.

Also known as Creeping Mint, Corsican Mini Mint is an extremely low-growing ground hugger. With each plant spreading to about a foot wide, its rounded, petite leaves evoke the look of Soleirolia soleirolii, Baby Tears. Corsican Mini Mint tolerates full or partial sunlight as long as the soil remains moist, but well-draining. Consider planting Mini Mint between and around stepping stones, where it can tolerate light foot traffic and will emit a wonderful minty aroma when bruised.

Tips for Growing Mint Indoors | Gardener’s Path
January 10, 2025 - Plants typically grow 12 to 36 inches tall and spread 18 to 42 inches, although the Corsican variety, M. requienii, is a ground-hugger at only four inches tall. Their natural habitat is largely beside waterways like creeks and ponds, at marsh edges, and in moist meadows and forest fringes. In the garden, they prefer moist soil with a neutral pH of 6.0 to 7.0 in a well-draining site, but can’t abide soggy or waterlogged conditions. Mint enjoys a full to part sun exposure with a little shady relief from intense afternoon sunlight.

October 3, 2025 - Unlike most other cultivated mints, this plant stays diminutive and thrives in shady garden areas. However, if given too much moisture the leaves will rot. The best way to avoid this is to let the plant dry out between waterings, but not too much, because it is drought-sensitive. Baby's tears is used as a substitute in areas where Corsican mint is too fragile.
