Incense has been used throughout history beginning even before ancient times. Incense to ward off ghosts and evil spirits probably make up a good portion of ritual incenses worldwide.
Traditionally sage, or what is known as a smudge stick, has been used with great success by a multitude of cultures and religions.
- Agrimony Ash sprinkled around is supposed to help.
- Blessed salt sprinkled around is believed to create a protective barrier.
- Cedar Incense
- Rue candles or incense
- An herb called Boneset
- Marjoram herb when sprinkled is believed to chase away spirits.
- The Herb Caraway burned or sprinkled
- Some new age or witchcraft stores often sell various banishing incenses
Keep in mind these herbs and incenses are from a long history of folklore and are only as strong as the faith that goes into them. All incenses, potions, and herbs that claim to chase away spirits often require a ritual or magic circle to be cast. Even the Catholic house blessing is a ritual.
If you have no faith in such folklore then very little if anything will work. I am not an expert in magic, ritual, or anything else that uses these techniques, but for some they have been helpful.
