Natural Control Methods For Pests That Bug You

Household pests are a common problem. Pests at home bring stress, some may cause itchy bite and worse, some could transmit diseases. A few, like termite infestation,  may even cause grave structural damage which can decrease the value of your home.


As an ideal solution to problems with unwanted pests, many perceive organic pest control methods as an ideal solution. They are less environmentally damaging compared to commercial pest control methods that may contain harmful ingredients that may harm human and the environment. Unfortunately, in our time-starved world, many people would go for the faster but more risky option, which can be the cause of all problems.

Opting for the natural ways to eliminate pest infestation is no doubt a smarter option. The logical way to take advantage of organic pest control is to create a balance of organisms in the yard and in the garden. In addition, the following are natural pest control methods that you should prefer.

INSECT TRAPS & LURES
Insect traps contain no pesticides! Instead, they contain pheromones (sexual attractants), visual lures (colors and shapes that are attractive to insects), or food in order to catch pests. The best way to get the fullest benefits of insect traps and lures is to monitor the population of pests by knowing when insects first emerge, their relative numbers and where they are coming from.

BARRIERS & REPELLENTS
With barriers and repellants, you can get the guarantee that you are doing no harm to your precious plants, your family and to your pets.

CITRUS ESSENTIAL OILS
Citrus essential oil can help solve your problem with those spiders in your home. Spiders do not like the taste of citrus like lemon, lime and orange.  Choose real essential oils and not the synthetic versions.

GET RID OF STANDING WATER SOURCES
In order to get rid of mosquitoes, eliminate all standing water sources. Birdbaths, wading pools and pet’s water bowl should be changed at least two times every week. You should also get rid of yard items that collect water.

SWEET BASIL
Did you know that flies hate the smell of sweet basil? Plant sweet basil next to the doors or in containers. Mosquitoes don’t like it either.

COCONUT OIL & VINEGARCombine coconut oil and white vinegar and that will make an effective spray for repelling spiders. These are affordable pest control that you can find in the convenience of your home. 

The Bitter - Sweet Truth About Bees

All this time, you find them cute and sweet as the nectar they eat. You see one bee flying in a moment. Then two or three after a few seconds until you look around and find a large bee hive built in one corner of your walls. Lovely nature! I swear that your life will change once you got bitten by bees. And I am pretty sure you don't want to try. So if there's an infestation of killer bees in your are, immediately seek help from your most trusted pest control service and get rid of other harmful pests like black widow spider.
