Tips on Ants
1.  When you see too many lizards and   cockroaches around the house, all you've to do is keep empty egg-shell halves at those places. You will never see a lizard again on that spot.
2.  Store all purpose flour, semolina and gram flour in the refrigerator and they will remain fresh and insect-free for long.
3.  Keep Cockroaches away by placing cucumber peels in drawers and in corners.
4.  Sprinkle Turmeric powder or crushed cloves around sweet boxes so as to avoid ants.
5.  Save rice from insects - Dry 50 g. of mint leaves, powder them and add to 10 kg. of rice. This will keep insects away AND will also add a delicious flavor to the cooked rice.
6.  Keep Ants away - Put two to three cloves in the sugar. In case of honey place a few peppercorns to the bottle of honey.
7.  House flies - Put a sponge in a saucer and saturate with oil of lavender.
