Table of Contents
As summer approaches, hordes of insects invade our homes. It’s a known fact that insects tend to go into some form of hibernation during colder months and are most active in the warm months. These insects, from flies to mosquitoes and moths to cockroaches, spread germs, destroy your home and are a general nuisance.
To keep them away here are a few surprisingly simple, natural, affordable methods that you should use to keep your home bug-free.
Cleaning

Mint leaves
Mint is easy to grow in India, it is a hardy plant and requires very little attention. Along with being a great addition to food and beverages, it is also great at keeping insects, especially ants away. You can crumble a few mint leaves and leave them at trouble spots. You can also have potted mint plants and place them at windowsills and near your door to keep ants away. You can even crush up mint leaves and place them in a sachet in your closet to keep moths away. If you wish, you could even use a cotton ball soaked in mint essential oil in your closet to achieve the same results.
Lemongrass or Citronella
Although these two plants are very similar, they are not the same; what they do have in common is their ability to repel bugs. They are both grass-like plants and have a strong fragrance that bugs seem to hate. They are easy to grow, but you don’t have to as you get plenty of products made from Citronella or Lemongrass that will keep bugs away. You can mix a few drops of essential oil in water and use it directly on your skin to keep bugs away, you can light citronella agarbattis or citronella candles to keep mosquitoes away, and you can even find them in floor cleaners to keep ants and other insects away.
Onion
The strong smell and the sulphur content in onions do wonders to keep bugs at bay. You can slice up onions, put them in a bowl of water and watch the insects run away. Onions are also great at keeping lizards away. Just cut a few slices and place them where lizards usually hid in your home, you’ll find your home lizard-free in no time.
Lavender
If you don’t want any of the above strong fragrances taking over your home, then try using some lavender to keep bugs out. Lavender is best to keep your closet smelling fresh and keep moths far away from your clothes. You can use lavender in the same way that you would use mint leaves. You can use dried and crushed lavender in sachets or soak a cotton ball in lavender oil, it will work just as well.
