Ants
Don't want ants in your house? Simply wipe cinnamon oil near and around their entrance points to the house and this will deter them. Lemons or lemon oil can work as well.
Mosquitoes
A simple mix of essential oils such as citronella, lavender and eucalyptus, and some witch hazel in a spray bottle with room temperature water is a great natural repellent that you can spray and rub onto your skin that doesn’t contain any nasty poisons.
Flies
A simple mix of clove oil and water in a spray bottle is a very effective fly deterrent; they hate it! No flies on us!
Spiders
After you remove webs (and any spiders that may be living there) from the corner of a room, spray with a mix of peppermint oil and water and they won’t return.
