5 natural Pest Repellents

Here are safer alternatives to commerical pesticides:

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

Cockroaches:
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 tsp. 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 the home will discourage flies. So will potted sweet basil plant.
