Ants & Mosquito Repellants

SPRING IS COMING

Ant Control:
  • Spread some ground cinnamon where you think the ants are coming in to the house.
  • Basil repels flies and mosquitoes. To deter ants, use catnip. Sprinkle it in their paths.
  • Make a mixture of 2/3 cup water, 1/3 cup white vinegar, and 2-3 Tablespoons dish soap. Spray where the ants are marching.

Natural Mosquito Repellents:
  • Splashing plain rubbing alcohol on yourself and allowing it to dry will deter mosquitoes from biting you.
  • Rub Vick's Vaporub® on your pants and legs to ward off ticks.
  • Use half vanilla (has to be pure vanilla) and half water and for a mosquito and tick repellent.
  • Dab lavender oil on your pulse points; it smells great on you but repels insects.
