Thanks to Wendy for this Frugal Baby Tip!
I use the peppermint Dr Bronner's as a natural bug spray. I swear it works. If I find ants in the kitchen or something, I kill them and wash the area with Dr. B's and they *don't* come back.
I just squirt some on a sponge directly from the bottle and wipe the area and rinse it well. I *have* heard of people diluting it and putting it in a spray bottle and actually spraying with it, but I don't do that.

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!
