 ### Bugs
 
 The only two pests we've had issues with are ants and fleas. Lavender, cedar, clove, peppermint, Eucalyptus oils act as repellents. We use a good bit of cedar mulch and I've used clove oil spray. Rosemary, lemongrass, basil, mint, catnip, sage, Chrysanthemums, wormwood, and marigolds are also deterrents.
