Sugar can be applied any time—season doesn’t matter. If heat kills microbes, reapply sugar (1 lb/250 sq ft) and water deeply. It revives soil biology quickly.
Indoor pests: rosemary sprigs (1" on shelves, 3" under appliances), lavender (bedrooms, drawers, entrances), basil (ant/flea repellent). Cedar bark mulch around foundation (2" wide) repels termites, fleas, ticks. Pennyroyal oil in Epsom salts for carpet fleas (glass jar only; toxic to cats). Lavender oil calms babies and repels flies.
Outdoor: cedar mulch broadcast over yard. Chopped orange peel deters fire ants. Lavender containers at doors keep flies out.
Key: avoid chemicals—they kill beneficial microbes and insects that naturally control pests.
