What can you use around the house for insect repellant?

Answers:
Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil works great... they even sell it in spray bottles and used to even advertise it for this use
you can use salt for ants.
dryer sheets - rub them on exposed skin
Borax Powder sprinkled around the house for a couple of days ( then vacuumed or swept up) will kill fleas and roaches.
I plant Garlic in my Garden and it seems to help, may just be a myth. I have ate fresh garlic in food and it seem to help, may be a coincidence. I know the Skin-so-Soft works as mentioned.
The Boric Acid as mentioned as Borax will work (Not sure she mean Boric or Borax). Read the label on Roach Proof and you see. Last I bought was at the Drug Store, cheaper than Roach Proof.
ground banana peels work great around plants and bushesand are organic,so no need to clean up. i haven't tried them completely around the house.
it depends on the house. My floors get washed once a week with bleach, then polished. Never had an insect on sight. We do get some mosquitoes in the summer so we use that light/eletrocuting thing.
