A lot of homeowners have problems with pests, and they often will call a home pest control company to come and take care of the problem. However, there are things that you can do for your own home pest control while waiting on the professionals.
Use Fresh Herbs
Sage and rosemary are great for controlling mosquitoes. That’s why it’s a good idea to plant these in your garden. Of course, they’re also great for use in your cooking. So, you get the double benefit!
White Vinegar
One of the most annoying pests that everyone has is ants. So go into your pantry and break out the white vinegar. The reason for this is that they lay a trail down so that other ants can find the food source. The solution is as follows:
– ¼ cup of white vinegar
– 2 cups water
– 10 drops of eucalyptus or peppermint oil.
Use it for washing the trail away.
Repair Screens
A lot of pests are going to get into your home through a torn screen. So you want to make sure that you are repairing the screens so that they can’t get into your home. You can find screen repair kits at your local hardware store.
These are three things that you can do for home pest control. They can help you with saving money and they can make your time outside and inside a lot more comfortable and enjoyable. Use them to help you get started and you might not need professional pest control anymore.
