With a new pup in the house I need to find a natural way to keep out the ants that have started to come in out of the rain. Come summer I will also be dealing with spiders and scorpions on occasion. So if anybody has some good ol' natural insect repellents I would really appreciate the help. Thanks

I have had luck using a line of borax at the bottom of outside doors, and one bay leaf in every cupboard cupboard to keep out ants.

If you find where the spiders are coming in from (mine are from under the tub) putting a line of silicone caulk will keep them out.

A starry sky is the best roof.
