Despite the skill of architects and contractors to create a durable, fantastic home, insects and critters will inevitably get in to your abode.  The sight of a spider, roach, or even roly-poly pill bugs may throw us into a tizzy.  Our initial reaction might be to grab the industrial-grade insect repellant to decimate the bugs that have vitiated your sanctuary.  But before you do that, explore the numerous natural ways to reduce these critters.  Introducing our essential oil indoor household pest repellant blend!

Now you might think “There is no harm in using the commercial insect repellants found at your local grocery store.”  But there is.  Most of them contain Class 2A Carcinogens active ingredients which exposed to over years will increase your chances of acquiring cancer.  (For more information, read this article on possible household cancer-causers.)
