1. Borax - it's a laundry booster & found on the laundry aisle
Mix 1/2 & 1/2 with powdered sugar for roaches (keep away from children and pets)
2. Apple cider vinegar and dawn - Small cup of vinegar mixed with a couple drops of dawn - draws ans kills fruit flies.
3. Cornmeal - Mix 1/2 & 1/2 with sugar - pour on around ant hills - they take it home, eat it, can't digest it & die. (also if you mix cornmeal borax and sugar it can work on roaches and ants)
4. Water and dawn and night light - Mix couple cups of water & teaspoon of dawn in wide bowl or pie plate - set heat or air so the house can get really cold overnight - place bowl directly in front of or under night light - turn off all other lights/heat sources in the house - fleas jump to the light/heat source - fall in mixture - legs stick together and they drown.
5. Formula 409 kills spiders if sprayed directly on
6. Vacuum works really well on any bug

Depends what you want to put it on, plants - vinegar or lemon juice both work well sprayed on, to kill ants and the like on walls or the ground, boiling water works a treat!! Have a look at a few organic gardening websites, they have heaps of home remedies that don't use chemicals.

I find that orange-smelling grease cleaner kills ants with one spray.
