    Nothing you can buy in a store is natural. You can get things that will deter/kill insects that aren’t toxic to humans, like peppermint extract, but I don’t think calling something that humans pressed and processed from a plant that was grown, cultivated, and bred by humans “natural” makes any sense. Most plants produce their own insecticides, so make a list of your favorite herb/flower scents, check which ones work/are available, and go to town.

















  • When I looked into this what I came away with was there was a single species of nightshade that is sometimes called “Garden Huckleberries”, which are unrelated to what are commonly known as “true huckleberries”. True Huckleberries are all in the genera Vaccinium and Gaylussacia, which are contained in the family Ericaceae, of which “Ericacaea” is either an alternative or misspelling.
