We hope you enjoy these useful tips and that you find something you can use.



Ant Control
Spread some ground cinnamon where you think the ants are coming in to the
house.
Basil repels flies and mosquitoes. To deter ants, use catnip. Sprinkle it in their
paths.
Make a mixture of 2/3 cup water, 1/3 cup white vinegar, and 2-3 Tablespoons dish
soap.

Natural Mosquito Repellent
Splashing plain rubbing alcohol on yourself & allowing it to dry will deter mosquitoes
from biting you.
Rub Vick's Vaporub® on your pants and legs to ward off ticks.
Use half vanilla (has to be pure vanilla) and half water and for a mosquito and tick
repellent.
Dab lavender oil on your pulse points; it smells great on you but repels insects.

Mouse Control
Place USED kitty litter from a litter box in small tubs in several places around the
garage. Mice think... "it smells like a cat--must be a cat - I'm outta here!".

Buy a mesh/net laundry bag that you would use for washing nylons and 5 boxes of
moth balls. Put the moth balls in the bag and hang it in your garage near the door
to get rid of mice, birds, and bugs.

To prevent mice from gaining entry to your garage, stop up any openings with steel
wood pads. Mice will not chew through these!

Sprinkle ground cayenne pepper around the garage (inside & out), and
especially near entry holes. Pests don't care for the smell of it.

Mice hate the scent of peppermint extract. Simply sprinkle *pure* peppermint extract
on the items in your garage you don't want the mice in or on.

How to make your kitchen
When you shape the kitchen interior, the greatest problems are connected with
drawbacks of planning and lack of space. Appropriately chosen kitchen furniture
can resolve this situation, even more so that variety of models gives such an opportunity.
