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. At BBQ's sprinkle rosemary and sage on the charcoal to repel the mosquitoes, and give your food some flavor!
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!
You might try burning citronella candles. They can usually be be found at any home improvement store & are very inexpensive. They smell very lemony & are a great repellent. There are also small mosquito repellent appliances that you can find at camping stores that are odorless. The brand name is Thermacell.
I don't normally endorse many products,but, I like the Off Powerpad Lamp. They seem to keep insects at bay for a long time.
