6 Tactics to Get Rid of Bugs

Mosquitoes

The CDC says oil of lemon eucalyptus is an effective, natural mosquito repellent. Products containing the oil are widely available online and at discount retailers like Target and Walmart.

Dog Ticks

Prevention is key. Put one drop of rose geranium oil between your dog's shoulder blades and one at the top of the base of the tail, or two drops directly on the collar.

Ants

Vinegar deters ants from entering your home by overpowering the scent they would use to follow other ants' footsteps. Mix a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water in spray bottle and squirt in places that are likely to attract ants, such as the area around pet food bowls and other food sources.

Bees

Listen to the experts: Do an internet search for your local area or state's beekeeper who can remove the bees without killing them.
