5 Natural Pest Repellents

Here are a few natural , safer alternatives to commercial pesticides:

Ants:    Sprinkle cinnamon, bay leaves, cayenne pepper or baby powder in problem areas and along the baseboards and windowsills.

Roaches:   Sprinkle equal parts of baking soda and confectioners’ sugar in problem areas.

Mice:   Place cotton dipped in peppermint oil near problem areas. Used kitty litter is another repellent.

Mosquitoes: Mix 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water placed on your deck or balcony or dab lavender oil on your wrists and elbows.

Flies: Small sachets of crushed mint placed around thehome will discourage flies. So will a potted basil plant.
