speaking of peppermint oil, i use it indoors for insects as well. to my empty spray bottle i add about an inch or so of peppermint castile soap and add as many drops of peppermint essential oil as i feel like, then fill to the top with water. i keep it handy for ants, roaches, flies whatever tries to invade. i spray it directly on the bug and they just kind of "run out of gas and freeze in place."
