wasn't sure where to put this post. I thought it would be nice to have a list of natural ways to get bugs out of the home. At the beginning of summer I had an ant problem. I posted on facebook & my friends gave me ideas ranging from certain spices, to bleach, comet, & vinegar (not mixed). What worked immediately & kept the ants away all summer was cinnamon. I would have never even thought of that. I sprinkled it around the doorway & under the sink & VIOLA--no more ants! I have dogs & a cat so I like to stay away from harmful chemicals wherever possible. So now, how to rid myself of the flies & stink bugs that are starting to invade?

Again, more links as if you ladies need them: How Can I Get Rid of Houseflies?How Do I Get Rid of Stink Bugs?As for the flies, good luck on that one! Seems those rascals are everywhere. Edit: Bug (spider) removed.
