#Use Cucumbers and Other Natural Products To Keep Insects Away Repel Pests Naturally! You may not know it, but your salad fixings may already contain some natural insect repellents. Home improvement blog Apartment Therapy suggests using cucumbers to keep ants away, along with other natural repellents that keep multi-legged home invaders at bay. Instead of using harsh chemicals to keep bugs away, try some natural, free solutions Weve previously mentioned how to repel mosquitoes with plants, and offered vodka-based insect repellent, but what about the ants finding refuge from the summer heat in your home? Apartment Therapy serves up a few tips that we hadnt seen before, including discs of cucumber. As summer approaches, ants flock to kitchens on the hunt for food crumbs. Ants are appalled by cucumbers; therefore, the cucumber slices work best when placed near cracks or other areas where ants may enter the home. You will need, of course to change out those discs every so often as they spoil, and youd probably want to put them on top of wax paper or something else to keep them from mushing onto surfaces. For other ways to repel flies, moths, and other bugs, check out the article below. If youve got your own trusty DIY bug repellent solution, sound off in the comments below.
