Natural Yard Bug Repellent

Introduction

When it comes to keeping your yard free of mosquitoes and other pesky insects, many homeowners reach for the chemicals. Bug sprays are effective, but they can be expensive and can leave behind a nasty smell in your yard. However, when you use natural alternatives to keep bugs away from your outdoor space, you can enjoy the fresh air without having to worry about the harmful effects of harmful chemicals.

Ticks And Fleas

If you’re in a tick- or flea-infested area, it’s important to keep your grass trimmed and vacuumed regularly. If you have pets, make sure they’re treated with a monthly dog or cat tick preventive medication and that their bedding is washed frequently.

Chiggers

Chiggers are tiny bugs that can cause itchy bites. They’re usually found in tall grass, weeds, and thick brush where they feed on the blood of animals. Chiggers are most active in the spring and summer. If you find yourself itching after being outside, it’s important to check for chigger bites before reaching for any store-bought remedies or insect repellents.

Chiggers aren’t actually on you when you feel the itch; rather they draw up through your skin by secreting chemicals that react with your nerve endings as they travel through your body. The chemicals from one bite can spread to nearby areas of skin and cause itching at those sites too!

Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are more than just annoying; they’re also disease carriers, responsible for spreading illnesses such as malaria, dengue fever and Zika virus. If that wasn’t enough to make you want to keep them away from your yard, consider this: female mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water — which sounds like something you might find in your own backyard.

Luckily there are natural bug repellents that can help keep mosquitoes at bay without harming humans or the environment (or having any side effects). These products work by blocking the mosquito’s ability to smell you — essentially preventing them from getting close enough to bite you.

To make your own homemade mosquito spray: Fill an empty bottle with 3 parts water and 1 part rubbing alcohol (or vodka). Add 10 drops of citronella essential oil and/or 20 drops of lemongrass essential oil if desired. Shake well before spraying around areas where mosquitos might congregate, such as ponds or gutters where water collects but does not drain through pipes into drains outside of a building structure; under eaves along rooflines; behind trash cans; near doors leading outside from inside buildings such as homes or businesses

Ants

Ants are a nuisance to any home. They can be seen roaming through your kitchen and bathroom, but they also wreak havoc on your lawn and garden. If you’re having trouble keeping these pests at bay, try these natural alternatives to homemade ant repellent solutions:

• Mint – The smell of mint will send ants running in the opposite direction. They don’t like the smell of it at all! If you don’t want to use the actual herb in your house, crush some leaves from them and sprinkle them strategically around where you notice ants congregating (such as around your doors). You’ll soon see that this method works wonders for keeping those pesky bugs out of your home.
• Catnip tea – Cats aren’t just great pets; catnip tea is also an effective form of natural pest control for outdoor areas like yards or gardens! Pour boiling water over dried catnip leaves until there is about 1/2 cup left from steeping time (this should take about 30 minutes), then strain into a spray bottle full enough with hot water so that just one tablespoon remains after straining out all remaining bits; refrigerate until ready for use–and voila! You’ve got a quick-and-easy way to kill off pesky insects using something found right at home instead of having it shipped somewhere else first before getting back here again later when needed most urgently.”

Spiders

Spiders are not insects, but are arachnids. They have eight legs and no antennae. While spiders can be dangerous and some of them are poisonous, many spiders eat insects, making them beneficial to your garden. The best way to keep spiders out of your yard is to make it less attractive for them by keeping the area free of debris where they can build their webs.

Wildlife like birds will help keep the spider population under control by eating them when they get too big or present a threat to the birds’ nests or young. You can also use spider repellents made with essential oils effective against arthropods such as mosquitoes which could harm your plants

Bugs are everywhere and they’re never really welcome in our gardens or yards. Here’s how to get rid of them naturally.

If you want to avoid using harsh chemicals, try these natural remedies for getting rid of bugs:

• Pour boiling water on insect larvae (caterpillars) on your plants.
• Sprinkle cinnamon around areas where ants are seen frequently, especially near their trails. Ants dislike the scent of cinnamon and will avoid it at all costs. Make sure not to use too much because it can be toxic if consumed by humans! Also remember that this method doesn’t work 100% of time so don’t expect miracles right away – sometimes it may take awhile before this method starts working properly; just keep at it until everything dies off completely 🙂
