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: Exterminator, Roach sprary, 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!
Exterminator.. You will never get rid of all the roaches.. But the sure fire way to do it is the exterminator..
get spray or big boots foe squashing
boric acid all around edge of house
Try bleach diluted with water or 'Clorox Anywhere'--it worked for me
There is some stuff you can buy and Lowes, Home Depot, WalMart, etc that is in like a gallon bottle with a spray gun attached to it. I think its Ortho or something like that. It will say that it is for indoors and outdoors. I sprayed it around my window sills, door ways, under cabinets in the bathroom and kitchen, basically anywhere where I thought bugs might be coming in. It helped soo good! And it last like 9 months or so. Its so worth buying it. We noticed the pesky critters when the weather started changing drastically.
Bengal's Ant & Roach spray is AWESOME!! Spray it around all the baseboards and around the windows and doorframes. But after you spray you will want to leave for a couple of hours. It says it is safe to spray and stay in the house, but don't try it. It will leave a fog in your home for about an hour or so. But I promise this stuff works wonders!! And it will continue to kill for about 3 to 4 months! It even kills spiders!! Walmart use to carry it. It cost about 15.00 a can, and you might want to get 2 cans. But again, I promise you will love it!!
