Natural bug busters

It’s not just us welcoming the change in the seasons. This time of year can also mark the reappearance of unwanted house guests such as dust mites, fleas and – my personal bugbear – clothes moths. Help keep them at bay naturally with Puressentiel Anti-pest Fabric Spray (£14.99, uk.puressentiel.com), which harnesses the bug-busting powers of palmarosa essential oil. It’s gentle enough on skin to be used on bedding and clothes, as well as furniture, carpets and curtains.
