Myles Bader:
All you have to do is wash your counters down with white vinegar and water and a mild solution will do it and you'll never have an ant on your counter. Then put bay leaves in all the draws in your kitchen, your cookie jar, your flour container that'll keep them out of there.

Myles Bader, author of the book, Club The Bugs & Scare The Critters says if you want to keep flies and mosquitoes out of your house…

Use the herb basil. Take some basil put it in a porous bag, any type of cloth bag, hang a couple bags around the house, you'll never see a flying insect.

For mice, gophers or any kind of rodent…

Get some oil of peppermint from a health food store, put a few drops on a cotton ball place it anywhere you're having a rodent problem, you'll never see that rodent again. They're allergic to peppermint. You can use that for squirrels and chipmunks to keep them away from the bird feeder. Put oil of peppermint in a spray bottle and spray the area you want to keep them away.

And if you want to keep bees and wasps away when you're outside…

Take a 2-liter bottle of soda with just 2 inches of soda approximately, they like real soda, you put diet in there and they're going to bite you, they want real soda. The wasps and bees will go into the bottle after the sweet soda and they're not smart enough to get out.
