Darbla Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I saw a mention somewhere of using cedar, lavender and mint for repelling spiders and other bugs. While I'm sure they were meaning essential oils and herbs, would FOs in those same scents do the same thing? My storage room would sure smell good, anyway! I could put a cotton ball soaked with these on plastic can lids throughout the room. I'm trying to discourage silverfish and other such bugs. If FOs would work, what do you think of those 3 scents combined together? Or I could put each on its separate lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiders are OK by me, but silverfish are abominations that should be obliterated from the Universe. They eat books..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
