Unfortunately it's not effective for anything other than bad breath. Bay leaves however will deter ants and some pests but be careful as it is highly toxic to pets such as dogs. I'm not aware of bay leaves for stored product pest relief but I kinda doubt it as some of those pests listed eat tobbaco. Niccotine was once used as a very effective pesticide. So I'm not inclined to think so. You've done everthing right it sounds like to me. 90% of the time that will be the last you see of them. If it does flair up again simply repeat the process. You may want to at that time treat the area you found them with 'Gentrol' aersol. Most do it yourself pest control stores sell it. Thanks for reading and for your comment.

I have digarted any thing that had a hole in it and wipped the area down with clorox wippes. in the drawers I pulle them all out and used the vaccum hose. Have I done all I can Do? My mom and her ols wives tails tells me to putt spearmint gum and bay leaves around and that will deter them Have you ever heard of this?
