Pest Repelling Naturally by Pest Type
Parakeet - Budgie - Keets
If you've got a pest problem, do NOT turn to chemicals immediately. Poisons can literally pollute your home for years, and cause serious harm or even death to you and your pets! Here are some natural, safe alternatives. Remember that the primary key is to tupperware all food, stop ALL drips and leaks, and close up any cracks or holes in your home.
Ants - wipe out trails with soapy water; red chili powder at homes. They hate walking across baby powder and chalk. Also repel with bay leaves, cloves, cucumber peelings.
Caterpillars - encourage frogs and toads
Cockroaches - cucumber skins, bay leaves
Fleas - rosemary, rye, fennel, pine needles, garlic
Flies - Lavender, clove, mint
Mice - peppermint
Mosquitoes - I have a TON of tips on mosquitos at my Birding Area
Moths - cinnamon, bay leaves, coriander, dill, lemon peel, black pepper. Basil is great for most flying bugs.
Nematodes - plant marigolds
Plant insects - wash leaves with soapy water, make sure they are planted far enough apart for natural aeration
Slugs - plant marigolds and onion
Snails - plant marigolds and onion
Ticks - rosemary, rye, fennel, pine needles
