July is the time when summer bugs are at their best (or worst, as the case may be). Herbs can be used for pest control. Dried wormwood, yarrow, santolina, tansy, mint, and lavender are traditional moth repellents. If it’s your pet who’s bothered, try putting a drop of lemon oil or rosemary oil on his or her collar for flea control. Coping With Bugs includes a few more tips for dealing with some pests in the house and garden.

hea - i thought you all could use this tip. I never knew I could put a drop of lemon oil on the pets collar for flea control!

Thanks for that news. I'm going to get the rosemary oil out today.
