Repel Pests with Essential Oils!

Pests seem to get into everything once they get in the house. The Lake of the Ozarks' most trusted pest control company has seen pests in places you'd never think to look! Thankfully, we've found some essential oils that not only repel these pests but smell incredible as well. This leaves your home smelling fantastic while also keeping those pests away. Let's look at some of these essential oils and herbs to see how we can use them to fight back against pests!


Peppermint Oil


Spiders do not like the smell of peppermint. Dilute some peppermint oil and vinegar with some water and spray it in areas that spiders may visit (like corners and under stairs) for a fresh, clean and spider free zone!

Lavender


Lavender releases a smell that often brings about a sense of calm and peaceful relaxation - for humans that is. Lavender is perfect for keeping cabinets and drawers bug-free. It can be used in an atomizer or misted around a room to prevent pests from invading.

Citronella Oil


We've been using citronella candles for ages to repel mosquitoes and other pests, while enjoying the almost lemon scent they give off. Citronella oil is known to ward off ants, cockroaches, aphids, flies, mosquitoes, and even mice!

Basil


Basil is more than just an ingredient for your next pasta dish! Basil essential oil is great at preventing mosquitos from infesting an area during the summer months. It works well indoors at keeping dust mites from causing allergies as well.

Thyme


Thyme is superb at keeping the common housefly away. While not necessarily a dangerous pest, a fly is a considerable nuisance when trapped inside the house. Grow a mini garden in the kitchen or right outside the front door and the herbs will help naturally repel flies that find their way into the house!


Tea Tree Oil


Tea Tree Oil, the medicine cabinet in a bottle, has tons of uses throughout the home. You can use it to alleviate pain and itchiness from bug bites, or mix it with some vinegar and water to spray on the carpet and in damp, dark areas to prevent and eliminate fungus!
