    Natural Insect Repellents

    Have you tried to look on Google first? I'm sure you'll get a lot of useful information about those.

    And, do you use any natural insect repellents at home for mosquitoes for example?

    Go with Google. It really depends on what problems you have. I just moved into an apartment. We found out it had an ant problem. It seemed minor until we left the honey out one day, and there was literally a swarm. When I picked the bottle up, they crawled up my hand like a title wave.

    Anyway. We have since washed our baseboards with vinegar and put bay leafs under the window sills around the outside walls. This has helped tremendously. Since then, I have only seen a couple of ants. And for them I bought ant traps.

    I was really against chemical sprays as I have a ferret and I don't want to make him sick. He chews on everything (teething I think).

    Do a little research, I'm sure you will find tons of info on the subject.
