I live in a basement apartment and it's a magnet for bugs. Spiders, ticks, fleas, centipedes, beetles, gnats, flies, crickets, roaches, worms, moths, earwigs, mice, and rats. It's a daily chore to keep them away. There's a small foot long plot of dirt outside my door that attracts bugs. There is a pipe sticking out of the middle of the plot so I can't completely fill it with cement. I tried cedar chips which attracted more earwigs. I planted rosemary and basil and the spiders had a field day. Is there anything else to keep the bugs out of this area? (The dirt goes down very far)
