Ok so this Flashing
Dragon could probably scare away any and all rodents and
other critters, but for those who are not lucky enough to have a dragon
in the
house, here are a few helpful hints you can try!!
Bug and Rodent Deterrents
I saw this on the web and
thought it might be something interesting to pass along
for those that have critters in their house!! I also added new ones from
the book
Gardening With The Goddess.
Ants: Spray vinegar on ant trails and around the areas they are
getting into.
Place sprigs of Penneyroyal, Tansy or Rue in the cupboards and shelves.
Ants also detest Cinnamon. (of course Raid will work also, but the
smell is
awful LOL )
Aphids: Garlic
Asparagus Beetle: Basil and Tomato.
Beetle: Parsley
Cabbage Butterfly: Southernwood
Fleas: Fleas hate Laurel leaves, Rue and Winter Savory. Crush and
place under
rugs and couch and chair cushions, doormats ect.
Flies: Hang sprigs of Lavender, Mint, Pennyroyal, Peppermint or
Rue. Make
potpourri's out of Lavender. Grow anyone of these herbs in or outside of
your house.
Japanese Beetle: Chives and Garlic.
Mice: Place sprigs of Tansy or Mint on your shelves, cupboards or
anywhere
mice have been.
Moths: Make sachets out of Lavender, Lemon, Thyme, Rosemary, Tansy
or Worm-
wood. Place in linen closets or drawers.
Nematode: Marigold
Potato Beetle: Tansy, Catnip, Nasturtium and Marigold.
Peach Aphid: Catnip
Slug: Wormwood
Squash Bug: Tansy
Weevil: Place Bay leaves on shelves and cupboards. Put a whole leave
in your
flour, rice and dried beans.
Whitefly: Nasturtium
