Hello!

There is a big development going on across the road and as a result we (and the houses around us) have infestations of cockroaches, ants and spiders. What is a way I can keep them away without using chemical sprays? Thanks.

  • I’d look into a professional spray service that offers natural remedy’s.


  • I’ve heard spraying lavender oil across thresholds can work?


  • yeah not sure, google it. i think that you need a proper guy to come in and secure your yard. it will stop things walking into your yard and then house.


  • There may be some companies that do natural alternatives – maybe do some investigating?


  • In circumstances like these, I woul find it very difficult to imagine a non chemical option.


  • Not really sure of any natural ways to keep them under control. I use Mortein bug bombs. Their effects last for up to 3 months and I’ve found them to brilliant at keeping the bugs away


  • I wish I knew as we are having problems with insects too! Hope some mums have some good answers.
