9. Pests
Pests are usually not a problem with mint. The strong minty scent serves as a pests repellent. There are Mint beetles though and their larvae that can severely damage the plant if presented in large numbers. Use an organic fungicide if that happens. The herb can also get rust. You will notice small orange spots on the undersides of leaves if that will be the case. Remove badly infected plants to prevent spreading.
