To deter a large variety of bugs-use Marigold.

Ants- Cucumber, Clove, Cinnamon.

For Sugar Ants-Peppermint or Cinnamon. Place the scent on a cotton ball and put where they are coming into the house.

Flying insects in the house- the aroma of Basil will repel anything with wings. Flies, Mosquitoes, etc.

Mosquitoes- Lavender or Citronella, will rid your home of mosquitoes.

Fleas- hate the smell of Lavender, Sage, Orange Peel, Eucalyptus. You can also put a few drops on your pets sleeping area to ward off fleas.

Gnats- Citronella does the trick.

Moths- Use Cedar or Patchouli. You can put a few drops on a cotton ball in your closet in an inconspicuous place to take care of these pesky bugs

Mealworms- will avoid your grain products if you keep a cotton ball with Spearmint scent near your products.

Rats, Mice, Gophers, Squirrels, Moles- hate the aroma of Peppermint. Place a small drop of Peppermint on a cotton ball and drop it down a Gopher hole, you will never see that varmint again.
