The answer to 'natural pest control repellent' is to use natural, plant-based pest repellents. These are effective, safe alternatives to harsh chemical pesticides that can be harmful to your family and the environment. Some common natural pest repellents include essential oils like peppermint, lemongrass, or citronella, as well as diatomaceous earth, which physically damages the exoskeleton of insects.
To use natural pest repellents effectively, apply them around entry points, cracks, and crevices where pests may enter your home. Reapply as needed, typically every 2-4 weeks or after heavy rain. Be sure to follow the instructions on the product label carefully and test in a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage surfaces.
