Summarize the following:
Some plants emit a smell that bugs find repellent, which can transform your home from an insect magnet to a bug-free haven. Add a variety of indoor and outdoor plants to your property so as many insects are driven away as possible. For outdoor plants, try lemongrass, chrysanthemums, marigolds, petunias, and pitcher plants. For houseplants, try bromeliads, citronella, catnip, jade plants, and Venus flytraps. Like plants, some herbs also have a repugnant smell to insects. Grow a few bug-repelling herbs around your home or look for natural cleaners that contain herb oils for a fragrant alternative to chemical cleaners. Bay leaf, mint, rosemary, basil, and lavender are all bug-repelling herbs. Mix lemon eucalyptus oil with water in a small spray bottle and apply it to fabric items you want to keep bugs away from. While the oil is usually effective, it does not last as long as chemical cleanersre-apply the oil every 2 or 3 days for lasting benefits. Add around 5-10 lemon eucalyptus oil drops per 1 cup (8 oz) of water. When shopping for natural repellents, check the ingredient list to make sure it doesn't contain any strong chemicals. Check the online reviews for natural cleaners before you purchase them to make sure they're both safe and effective. When looking for natural cleaners, avoid bug repellant made of DEET, Picaridin, or IR3535.
Grow house or garden plants that repel insects. Use bug-repellent herbs or herbal cleaners to humanely get rid of bugs. Use lemon eucalyptus oil to keep bugs off of your furniture or clothing. Try natural, store-bought cleaners for an environmentally-friendly option.
