I live in a basement and it seems to be infested with all types of bugs, spiders, wood bugs, moths, ants, flies you name it. Ive been trying to let them be because I prefer not to use man made chemicals. This book has given me natural solutions to all of my bug problems. All of the repellent recipes are simple 2-4 ingredient which is a bonus because I don't want to spend a bunch of money, some of the ingredients most people have in their pantry already. For example the fly recipe is only lavender oil, citronella oil, mineral water and a spray bottle, so easy! I find this book to be very helpful, it even gives you ways to bug proof your entire outside to catch the critters before they enter. This can be done with regular table salt but be cautious if you have deer in your neighbourhood because "deer will be attracted to the salt and they will seek the surfaces where it is located" This book was a great purchase!

It's a practical and concise book. The author make a fast and good point of the insect problems, why to use natural remedies. The good news is that all the recipe are very easy

Interesting ideas and very easy solutions for everyday bugs.Use of oils, salt and dish soap works just as well as chemicals

This book was very informative on ways to get rid of most household pests. Mist of the solutions were easy to make out of stuff easy to find. It still was missing some bugs but generally had most if them

Ok book but it repeats itself with few actual recipes

great book. I needed to find some new homemade repellents, and im glad I have found this one.Must read !

I have tried the remedies for ants, gnats, flies and mosquitoes and was delighted with the results. It is comforting to know that I am deterring the pests and not introducing any harmful chemicals to do so. The remedies I used worked just the way Mr. Beaumont promised they would.
