Hello World! Welcome Friends! When you’ve worked hard to create a beautiful home, the last thing you want is an invasion of pests! Whether it’s insects, rodents or otherwise, there are lots of home remedies you can try to keep pests away.
1. Garlic Spray
To banish pests from your home, you could try using garlic spray. Simply get yourself four garlic bulbs and then mash them up in a food processor. Once you’ve crushed the bulbs, mix them with a small amount of water and vegetable oil. It’s probably easier to put the mix into a spray bottle. Spray a small amount of the mixture around your kitchen. Focus on gaps and crevices, doorways and the edges of your floor.
2. Neem Oil
Neem oil is a substance that’s made from the ‘Azadirachta Indica’ tree; a tree that’s native to South Asia and Europe. The oil can be made using any part of the Neem tree, yet it’s the neem seeds which are the best natural remedy for pests. Simply dab a small amount of neem oil onto a cloth and rub it across the edges of your floor and on your kitchen countertops. You can also apply neem oil directly to your plants, whether inside or outside. Applying neem oil to the leaves can stop your plants from getting eaten by bugs!
3. Cinnamon
Cinnamon is another excellent remedy to prevent pests in your home. You can purchase cinnamon in the form of a powder or an oil; both are suitable to keep away pests. Apply the cinnamon to a tissue and wipe the solution in your ‘pest prone’ areas. Cinnamon is useful to repellent various insects including spiders, fleas, ants and roaches.
4. White Vinegar
Many people use white vinegar as a DIY cleaning solution, and yet it’s also a great natural solution for pests. Clean your kitchen with vinegar, and you’ll kill bacteria and banish pests at the same time! If you’re having issues with pests in your garden, you can also apply vinegar to your plants. You’ll need to mix the vinegar with a generous amount of water before doing so.
5. Peppermint
Peppermint is a type of mint that is halfway between watermint and spearmint. It’s an excellent solution to keep away mice, houseflies and ants. You can purchase peppermint oil inexpensively, from any health food store. You only need a small amount as the scent itself is rather potent! Besides these remedies, you should attempt to seal up any gaps and holes where pests might be able to enter your house.
Sadly, depending on how bad your pest problem is, these home remedies may not always be enough! If you’ve tried to get rid of pests yourself, yet are still having problems, you may need to call on pest control experts. It’s fairly simple to Find Exterminators Near You with a small amount of online research. It can be helpful to take a look at any available reviews or testimonials.
