Natural Pest Remedies
Wednesday, July 14, 2010
Summer’s warm weather is great, but it has some problems. Bugs, Mosquitos, etc. Just when you want to open a window, something flies in. Spraying a bunch of chemicals around your home may not be a good idea if you have children or pets…and it’s not the “greenest” way to go.
Here are some more natural ways to get rid of pests.
To get rid of ants, try sealing of their entry point with cayenne pepper, lemon juice, garlic or mint leaves. (try one at a time to see which works best for you.)
For mosquitos, try planting marigolds. They give off a fragrance that the bugs don’t like. Lemongrass is another good idea, it contains citronella…which works well. Also lookout for standing water, that’s where they’ll thrive.
Enjoy your summer!
