Natural Pest Repellents

Not all bugs are bad—but the bad ones don’t stand a chance here.
With marigold borders, chili sprays, and companion planting, nature does the guarding.
No toxins, no traps—just smart, sustainable defense.
Natural pest repellents focus on creating balance, not war. Plants like marigold, basil, and lavender repel harmful insects, while attracting pollinators and predatory bugs that keep pests in check.
