  • Spread some ground cinnamon where you think the ants are coming in to the house.
  • Use half vanilla (has to be pure vanilla) and half water and for a mosquito and tick repellent.
  • Sprinkle ground cayenne pepper around the garage (inside & out), and especially near entry holes. Pests don't care for the smell of it.
  • Mice hate the scent of peppermint extract. Simply sprinkle *pure* peppermint extract on the items in your garage you don't want the mice in or on.
  • For a fresh smelling fridge,a cotton ball soaked in vanilla extract inside of it.
  • Lemon extract will remove scuff marks from luggage.
  • Place bay leaves in kitchen drawers and in flour and sugar sacks to keep crawling insects away.
  • Add a few drops of vanilla extract (essence) to the paint when stirring or mixing. This will remove the unpleasant smell but won't affect your color.
  • Flavoured mayonnaise may be made by adding crushed dried desired herbs.
  • To remove smells from the microwave place a drop or two of vanilla extract on the turntable - remember to wipe it off before you next use the microwave.
