Howto Naturally Repel Bugs, Critters & Varmints with Essential Oils

Pests…we all have to deal with them at some point or another. They secretly enter our homes through the smallest cracks and crevices, surprising us with their presence. They get into our cabinets, our trash, our plants and our food.

We habitually grab the bug killer and start spraying away, not realizing that these commercial bug killers have detrimental effects to our health and our animal’s health, too.

There is a much safer way to repel these pesky critters without the risk of damaging our health.

Essential oils are highly effective and can be used as natural replacements for store bought bug sprays.

Here’s your A-Z guide to safely repelling creatures that “bug” you:

ANTS
Peppermint
Spearmint
Draw a line with peppermint or spearmint essential oil near the area that the ants are entering. It’s fun to watch them come up to the line and then turn around and go the opposite way. They won’t cross the line so that means they’ll stay out of your house! » more Howto Naturally Repel Bugs, Critters & Varmints with Essential Oils

How To Get Rid Of Raccoons

Raccoons are common nuisance species. They are highly intelligent and adaptable animals, and they are one of the few animals that has learned to thrive in suburban and urban settings. Raccoon populations have exploded ever since the animals learned to adapt and benefit from the presence of people. Raccoons take advantage of human habitat in several ways:

  • Raccoons use garbage cans, dumpsters, and pet food dishes as food sources.
  • Raccoons often use the attics of homes as safe places to live and raise young.
  • Raccoons are strong and capable, and have little fear of humans or dogs.
