For ants, get a box of boric acid and put some where the ant have to walk through it. When they get back to their nest, they will contaminate the nest. It takes a few days.

The mint worked on an ant nest in one of my gardens plots. The nest was evacuated within 24 hours. I also found that the electronic sound boxes only stop the mice/rats from nesting nearby, it doesn't stop them from entering your property looking for food. The best way to rid the property of rodents is to remove all food stuffs such as bird seed, dog food left outside, compost boxes and put garbage in a sealed metal container not plastic.

If you have mosquitoes, they most likely grew in your yard, or an adjoining one. Check regularly for anything that holds standing water. If there is none, look around your neighbors' yards, and you can usually find the source. If they grow in water you can't drain, there is a virus that only attacks mosquito larvae. Drop a pill of it in the water every few weeks. If you can encourage bats, or are lucky enough to be near running water -- where dragonflies spend their "nymph" days, then emerge as super mosquito fighter jets -- these are among the safest mosquito controls ever designed.

Gab3 - They may not be the solution to your bug issues, but all three of those can be a solution to a lot of personal ones. All three have therapeutic value, for physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. If you should ever feel unbalanced, just crushing a leaf of any of these and inhaling the aroma may prove useful. In the aromatherapy classes I took, no matter how many choices of oils you may have to chose from, the standard was: "When in doubt, use Lavender." It is calming and has a range of medicinal benefits. It is one of the many things I like about Seattle: Lavender everywhere!! Rosemary may be calming and uplifting at the same time, and has a range of benefits. Basil is one of the two most uplifting herbs I've ever encountered. I get a similar effect from crushing a basil leaf and inhaling the vapor as some cats get from catnip. All this to say, you have some nice herbs, there, bro. I like diatomaceous earth and ortho boric acid ("Roach-proof") for baseline control of insects in the home and garden. Regular borax and also baking soda can work well in some places. There are non-toxic bug traps and sticky strips. When all else fails, insect baits are my final insult to 6- and -legged creatures.

Peppermint extract or Tea takes the place of the peppermint oil. You just add the extract to water in a spray bottle or brew some peppermint tea let it cool then pour into spray bottle. The only con is if you spray it outside, when it rains you need to reapply it. You could tear open some tea bags and sprinkle the loose tea and wet it & that lasts thru a couple rains.

No wasps in the attic for the last two years! I refresh the lavender scent near the window once per month. I hope it will work for the years to come. Another observation: I burned a bay leaf in a room with a large wasp that was coming in the room during winter. The smoke killed the insect nearly instantly.

Some good stuff here, nice to use natural methods where necessary. You got to remember that one application is not enough, you must be vigilant in your quest. I personally like some spiders in my home, when they get too much or are spotted by non arachnid lovers, I pick them up (try to get the male and female) and place them on my patio plants outside. They continue to do their thing with the visiting bugs. As for rodents, prevention is better than cure. Closely examine under eves and around pipes and ensure ALL holes are filled or stuffed with steel wool. Keep food well wrapped and sealed and check pantries regularly for incursions. I cleared all the mice using peanut butter in traps (I didn't like killing them, but it was freaking out everyone else). If they have no food or water source they cannot stay inside. As with spiders, ants do no harm so don't go crazy. If they are in my home, I just vacuum them up, simple.

With some experimentation, I have found that you have to use essential oils and not the plants. I use peppermint oil, lemon oil, lavender oil and tea tree oil mixed with water. I spray it around my doors, my patio, my outside storage and myself and it seems quite effective at keeping out spiders, ants, roaches and mosquitoes. Just be really careful about dogs not getting into it or locking it off because it can be toxic….mainly the lemon oil, I think. I don’t have any mice, so I can’t help you there.

Had an outdoor cat that looked like he had is own cloud around him. Mosquitoes had bitten his ears and forehead so much he was loosing his fur. I didn't want to put anything on him like a spray or collar because he was an outside kitty and not really all that comfortable around anyone. I finally brewed up a VERY strong peppermint tea ( I think I used about 3 bags for the cup). I let it cool, then took it outside, got hold of him, and doused him with it until he was soaking wet. He took off like a shot and I didn't see him for a few days. I was concerned because I'd read that you shouldn't use peppermint oil on cats because it was toxic to some cats. I kept watching for him and he showed up several days later, without his cloud! He still looked a mess, but without all of the new bites, he was getting better! His fur grew back in and he became so loving, I brought him inside and I think he had a pretty nice life.

the most common plant used against mosquitos is the citronella plant. and a great way to rid your home of mice and keep them away is to get a pet hamster, FYI - they are a natural predator of mice - know this works because until I got one as a pet my parents tried everything, without success, to get rid of mice - they just disappeared after I got "Hammy" : )

Peppermint plants outside are great and work to keep mice away yet they attract cats so you need to add a different plant to keep them away as well 💖it works!’ And smells great

SO...THAT'S why every cat in our area comes to my house. 9 yrs ago, a female cat went into our (open door) garage and gave birth to 6 beautiful kitties. I fell in love with her and made her mine. unfortunately, she brought her "hubby" with her. but....We fed them all, I named my babygirl, Cleopatra and the Tom, Smokey. We waited for her to wean the kittens before getting her spayed....too late...2nd litter came fast. We found homes for ALL the kittens. Smokey got sick and died within 1 yr. He was fairly old when he found us. Cleopatra died last summer. Jun 15th, 2018. I miss her so much. anyway, I have catmint, spearmint, peppermint and chocolate mint all growing in a side flower bed. And...the only one I planted was the chocolate mint. On a warm day, the smell drifts over and sooths my soul. I love putting peppermint in my Earl Grey tea.

At times she sit and watch me from the window sill but won't come in. Funny cat!

Make water bucket mouse traps , half a bkt of water , vaseline above water line , a ramp with peanut butter on the end , the mice/rats run up to get the food and their weight tips the ramp , splash, vaseline stops them getting out.

Lemon grass (aka fever grass) is also a good repellent

This is how I keep my two dogs off furniture or areas I don't want them. When I am not home they would be everywhere. The spray at the store was so expensive, but you can make a mixture of orange essential oil and water and spray it on furniture like sofas, it never hurts my furniture but they can't stand it. Rubbing orange peel, outer side on furniture , not wood or plastic of course, also works. Essential oils are far less expensive online than at health food stores. And a good book on them gives you many recipes and good ideas for many uses. Orange oil also makes your home smell nice.

This is awesome !! Thé best (meaning : detailed, clear) video of all !! Thank you very much, sir. GBU in JC'S Almighty Name.

@BRIGHT SIDE-I just want to say that, while I appreciated getting more info than I expected about repelling pests naturally, the title of this video is deceptive...making it look like there was a single plant that could do all of this! In fact, a title change (like: "17 Natural Pest Repellents"), could actually create even more interest! Just sayin'...Thx for encouraging non-toxic solutions ☺️🌿

Citronella plant is a good one for keeping mosquitoes away. All you have to do is set the plant on a table or deck outdoors, or plant it in the ground if you like... It's also popular enough right now that the oil is being added to candles and oil for torches (obviously for outside! Lol).

Well, I don't know about mice... But I planted mint in my garden at my last house. When I heard ants didn't like it, I started transplanting it all over my yard. I never actually saw mice but Ants would building their mounds right up against a cluster of mint plants. Spiders were all over the place as per usual. And moles would tunnel right through the roots of the mint plants....

Love those who-birds!

the best thing I do that really works is using dehydrated crushed red pepper. I have a separate coffee grinder and grind crushed red pepper and use a hand held electric fertilizer spreader to spread the ground pepper around my house to keep mice out. It also deters squirrels (and rabbits). If you fill the hopper of the spreader with ant repellent granules and mix the ground up red pepper with it before you spread it around your house, you won't end up dumping the red pepper to quickly and it will spread more evenly, also keeping ants out of your house. I use two different types of ant granules mixed to together. But I just buy crushed red pepper in a 5 pound bag and spread that by itself with a smaller opening in the hopper. Cat owners know how great cats are at catching mice.

I have effectively removed ALL insects (including centipedes) by using gasoline and a flamethrower.

Perfect voice Perfect photos Perfect explanation Perfect tips. Very much appreciated. :)

i have used peppermint oil for mice it works well.for mouse traps peanut butter works great but if you have an old style mouse traps that are metal, i add a peanut or sunflower seed, forcing it in the round hole so they have to tug on it and that works great if you have traps that don't go off but all the peanut butter is eaten off. give it a try.

I have peppermint growing all around my yard. And its a perinial plant.

I used peppermint oil for an ant problem before, and it worked. Now I have a cricket problem, so I’ll try it for them.

My house was recently attacked by rats. I am going to try these tips. Hoping that they will help.These are amazing simple tips. I never thought of them and have been using chemical-based repellent. Egg shells keep lizards away that’s what I know that I have tried and it worked. Thank you so much for sharing!
