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
