Answers:
Natural Insect Repellents
To kill roaches/ants - Lay out bread crumbs/honey and mix with boric acid (be careful b/c this stuff is poisonous) and aspartame _ THIS IS A TRAP!
Ants: Dried cucumber slices, Soapy Water in Spray Bottle, mint tea, cayenne pepper, citrus oil, lemon juice, cinnamon and coffee grounds
Roaches/Waterbugs: Lay small bottles of boric acid on the side and put on top of cabinets or corners, catnip (they hate it), soapy water in spray bottle will kill them almost instantly, bay leaves in the cracks, dried cucumber slices, and hedgeapple
Mosquitoes: Eucalyptus oil w/ 70% cineole, and neem oil. Also mix some garlic and water and rub on your skin.
Flies: Mint, Bay leaves, and eucalyptus oil
Moths: Soak some cloth in cedar oil and hang it up, dry lemon peels in closets and other places.
Good Luck!
The local home store should have some stuff that you spray around the perimeter of your house. Works on cockroaches and spiders and whatnot and seems to be pet-safe.
Liquid soap is a water bug weapon, they hate it! I dont know how you could use this in your home without making a mess however...
