Excellent info re lemon and peppermint oils - we actually have had an ant invasion in the last two weeks and they seem to be unaffected by the pest control spray! Peppermint and lemon oils are at the top of my To Do List tomorrow - thank you for your knowledgeable advice!denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16159617095990116192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169721796702374625.post-81953797586643293192011-02-16T21:25:10.718+11:002011-02-16T21:25:10.718+11:00Oh Denise, I would have agonised over that decisio...Oh Denise, I would have agonised over that decision as well. I have decided not to use any chemicals for pest control but haven't had a major pest infestation so that might change how I feel. Anyway, I am sure that minimal exposure to anything is fine! <br /><br />As far as natural pest control... Lemon oil is fabulous for controlling spiders and peppermint oil works on ants. Both need to be essential. Not sure about cockroaches, they are horrid, nasty little nightmare bugs!!! I will ask my trusty health food shop people.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634383197755226856noreply@blogger.com
