        So far, I've tried - cut limes and star anise. It helps to lessen but not totally.

        I'm also looking forward to any tips.

            I usually place the star anise in a "soup bag" and place it near the window. As for lime, I place it on the kitchen cabinet or any place the lizard(s) frequents.


            You’re staying on the top floor?

                How about ants? Any tips to prevent ants invasion?

                Any advice? Besides ant trap, any natural source to prevent ants?

                      Hi Sleepy,

                      Ants doesn't like star anise too. Maybe you can try it? I'd usually wipe my kitchen cabinet with \"mama lemon\" by end of the day. The sink need to be dry too. See if it helps.

                      I think I've ants due to milk powder that my DS drinks. As for the garbage, we try to clear before sleeping.

                        Does anyone have any recommendation for organic vegetable wash? I used to buy from Tuberware, but haven’t been able to reach the person that I usually buy from.
