Aphids Repellent Mix 10 drops spearmint and 15 drops orange essential oil in 2 quarts salt water. Shake well and spray on plants. Cockroach Repellent Mix 10 drops peppermint and 5 drops cypress in 1/2 cup salt water. Shake well and spray where roaches live. Silverfish Repellent Put eucalyptus radiata or citriadora essential oil on cotton balls or cedar chips and place in closets or drawers.
