5 ways to repel insects from your home

Here's how to effectively repel insects from your home without using chemicals, according to naturalnews.

Some types of insects in the house.

Peppermint essential oil

Buy a bottle of peppermint oil and put it in a spray bottle. Wherever you find spider webs, use the spray bottle with diluted peppermint oil to spray the webs. Not only will the peppermint oil keep the spiders away, it will also leave a pleasant scent in your home.

Vinegar

If you don’t have peppermint oil, you can use vinegar to repel insects. Add a little vinegar to a spray bottle and spray wherever you see webs or spiders.

Baking Soda

Baking soda helps absorb moisture, leaving the space dry. Sprinkle baking soda around cracks and crevices or anywhere that gets wet, as wet areas are a great place for insects to live.

Lavender, rosemary or eucalyptus

In addition to lavender oil, rosemary and eucalyptus essential oils also help “treat” areas where bed bugs live. Add a few drops of these oils to a cup of water and sprinkle around the sleeping area to kill the pests.

Mint leaves

You can use mint leaves to deter bugs from entering your home. Sprinkle crushed mint leaves around sleeping areas or areas where children spend time. You can also place dried mint leaves in the bedroom and on your mattress.
