Keep the bugs away...
With natural essential oils!
I make sprays with some of these, so not only am I keeping the bugs at bay, but also making the room smell amazing! π

I want something to get rid of the Japanese Beatles that look like lady bugs. Little fucks bite and have no natural predators around here.

@ITDept Are they in your home or outside?

@ITDept For the ones inside, vacuum all of them up first. Then for preventing more, sprinkle diatomaceous earth on the inside of your house near cracks or wherever you think they might be getting in. Use a small spray bottle (about 8-12oz) and fill with water and then add 20 drops wintergreen or peppermint essential oil. Shake it up and spray on the outside of the house all along possible entrances. I personally wouldn't bother the ones outside because if you have a garden, they're useful by eating aphids. But if you want to repel them from the yard, plant some lemongrass, mums, peppermint, lavender, or catnip. Hope this helps! π

Peppermint looks like it's good for A LOT.
