What are the best house plants to keep bugs out of a home?

Lavender, lemon grass and mint are few that critters don't like

Lavender, mint and lemon grass are a few

Peppermint is the best, for me. Especially if you make a spray from the leaves, and put it around windows, doors, registers.

Thank I'll start with those

Mint is especially easy to grow too. We live in the middle of a forest( seriously), so I've planted it all around our home to keep bugs outside. If you do see any inside, you can use FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth- it looks like baby powder. You can sprinkle it behind & underneath cabinets, etc. That will also keep bugs away,& wont hurt you or any pets you may have.

If you put bay leaves around in inconspicuous places seems to work for me. I had " army's" of ants come to visit every year in the Spring, I now put the baby leaves around and haven't had them for about 4 years now. My neighbor told me that ants eat the roach " eggs" , something I never knew.
