5 Easy Pest Removal Tips for Homes

Regardless of where you live, your home must have some kind of pests hiding in the corners you had no idea even existed! These uninvited guests called pests don’t have any qualms about adopting your home and terrorising and robbing you at your own place! They steal food, damage your house and are harmful to your health. We are listing some very effective preventive self measures that don’t involve harmful chemicals and won’t require a professional to be carried out. Whatever your specific pest problem is, these tricks will help you tackle it on your own, safely.

Basic Precautions                          

Food spills and scattered crumbs and garbage attract pests intensely. Regularly clean your kitchen counters and cooking surfaces with water and vinegar solution to cut out odour, food crumbs and stains. Store food in glass jars or air-tight containers, so they don’t attract pests. Also, repair dripping taps, because a water source will offer them water whenever they want. Cover your dust bin. Open trash is a pests’ idea of a fridge full of food which can be accessed whenever required.

All-Purpose Spray

Easy to make, a 50-50 solution of water and vinegar is an effective cleaning and pest control product. Use on countertops and baseboards to get rid of odour and repel pests like roaches, flies and spiders. Apply it on the infested areas and common entry regions.

Ants

Ants are the most common pests. They’re tenacious and numerous! Those marching lines will never end! Sprinkle ground coffee on windows, doors and cracks, which will stop them from entering your house.

Cockroaches

Put 200 ml beer in saucers and keep them at cockroaches’ entry points. It will intoxicate them. It will reduce their movement, so you can easily spot them and remove them from your home.

Flies

Have you heard the common saying which says “Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.” No? It’s okay. The point is sweet eatables attract flies. So, pour something sweet like apple cider vinegar in a jar – just fill a quarter. Cover the top of the jar with a plastic sheet and make holes in it. Just leave it out to trap some flies!
