I like this one:
Grind rosemary leaves into a fine dust and sprinkle it onto your pet or its bedding to ward off fleas.

My dog doesn’t have fleas, but I would love it if he smelled like rosemary.

Tis is one I swear by and works every time

I do not use pesticides at all

cornmeal

Cut worms crawl in a straight line in your veggie rows

So I plant my beans etc zig zag so they do miss a few but

I sprinkle cornmeal in the soil and on top

Cut worms love it and will eat it. But once it is inside them, it swells bursting the cut worms and of course they die

But the birds love the worms and it is all natural. So this bug deterrent won’t hurt anything and you are feeding the birds at the same time
