I found this cheat sheet in a ripped out magazine page while I was cleaning out my chaos room office and I thought I'd share it with you all.
Ants; use peppermint essential oil or citronella essential oil, use 3-5 drops wherever you'd like to be ant free such as doorways and windows.
Blackflies; cinnamon oil or turmeric oil, spray or dab on clothing and/or skin.
Cockroaches; citrus oil, especially kaffir lime oil, spray on problem areas, drains, under the sink, anywhere.
Mosquitoes; catnip oil or thyme oil, spray or dab on clothing and/or skin.
Ticks; lemon eucalyptus oil, spray or dab on clothing and/or skin.
Wish I would have found this at the beginning of summer, oh well, better late than never...

Andy informed me that adding a few drops of dr bronners is very effective for aphids and other soft bodied insects.
