Chemical free is a lie. Also, I’d re-title the first one, so people don’t mace themselves. And, I’m not totally sure, but can totally check, capsicum may not have any affect on insects.

An ACTUAL chemical free repellent would be something like one of those sound emitters that sound like dragon flies (supposedly)

I ‘m always getting bit by knats and mosquitos,whenever I get bit by knats I get an allergic reaction and end up with welts all over my torso, I read somewhere about the mint and eucalyptus so, I started using eucalyptus and spearmint lotion or eucalyptus and mint lotion on my body before I go out and I haven’t gotten bit. I found the lotion at bath and body works. Try a small sample bottle see if it works for you, I also hang a bag of fresh basil in a piece of panty hose in front of my outside doors and it repels mosquitos. I use soapy water to kills bugs. First I put 10 pumps of soap in a spray bottle then I fill the bottle with warm water , shake and spray. It works. also you can try using cornmeal where you see ants inside your home. they take it back to the nest and share it, they cant digest the cornmeal and die. It takes a little more then a few days. try using it outside only if you dont get alot of rain it will. wash it away

Something I have used to get rid of ants, both inside and out, is rock salt. I purchased a bag from wal-mart like you would use to melt ice on your porch or side walks. My fiancé had ants coming in around his kitchen window and sink and he (reluctantly) put the rock salt along the house outside, below the kitchen window and his ant problem was gone in no time…. He had doubts that it would work so he was pleasantly surprised. He had to apologize for doubting me -
