5 Natural Pest Repellents (AARP comes in handy!)

Ants:  Sprinkle cinnamon, bay leaves, cayenne pepper or baby powder in problem areas and along baseboards and windowsills.

Cockroaches:  Sprinkle equal parts of baking soda and confectioners' sugar in problem areas.

Mice:  Place cotton dipped in peppermint oil near problem areas.  Used kitty litter is another repellent.

Mosquitoes:  Mix 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water placed on your deck or balcony or dab lavender oil on your writs and elbows.

Flies:  Small sachets of crushed mint placed around the home will discourage flies.  So will a potted sweet basil plant.
