Essential Oil Sprays

Are essential oils going to cure all of your health woes? Not likely. But since they’re comprised of extremely concentrated oils derived from natural substances like tea tree, eucalyptus, lavender, or mint, they make excellent pest control options. You can spray essential oils like a mist, or soak cotton balls in the oils and leave them near nests or entryways to deter rodents and insects.

Natural Fly Traps

Before you get out the sticky fly trap tape, get some dish soap and white vinegar! Mixing a few drops of white vinegar in with some dish soap in a small bowl or jar creates a natural fly trap that draws flies in, and keeps them stuck!

Citronella

Citronella is a naturally-occurring, lemony-smelling scent that is well-known for warding off mosquitos outside. But did you know you can also use Citronella inside too? Burning a citronella scented candle indoors can deter insects, not just mosquitos!
