Natural Household Remedies

And the fourth part of my mini series deals with

Centipedes, Earwigs and Silverfish

Several drops of either of the following essential oils placed in all areas that collect moisture, like damp basements, garages or cabinets that house plumbing fixtures will deter any of these critters:

• peppermint
• eucalyptus
• wintergreen
• citronella

Here is the second part of my mini series:

Ants

Wipe your cabinets out with a damp sponge and 6-8 frops of peppermint essential oil, or citronella essential oil.  Use the same oil and put 3-5 drops on windowsills, edges between countertop and wall, and wherever you see the ants marching.
