Does Catnip Only Affect Cats?

Marilyn: You wrote that catnip affects even big cats, such as lions. Do any other species react to it?
Marilyn responds:
Yes, but not with love. Mosquitoes detest catnip—an herb, not to be confused with catmint, a close relative—even more than they loathe DEET, the chemical found most often in insect repellents. Catnip is easy to grow, but you probably don’t want to plant it everywhere to keep pests at bay unless you really like cats. Rats and mice also hate catnip, but when your property is covered with cats, who cares?
