Mosquitoes flies, and spiders are just some of the annoying creatures that may invade our homes during the summer months. The temptation to grab chemically-laden insect-repellent sprays is understandable, but is it really what you want to do in your own home? Avoiding these compounds is especially important in high-traffic areas like the kitchen.

Instead of using harmful chemicals, you may bring in some plants from your garden that the insects hate but you don't have to worry about. Not only will these plants brighten up your home, they will also deter pests naturally and, in certain circumstances, provide you with fresh herbs you can use in the kitchen.
