Creepy, crawly, and disgusting are just a few words that people use to describe insects. These annoying pests enter our homes when we least expect it, and start making a home for themselves. When this happens, it’s time to use some pest control, which you can do with the following tips.

Do not expect to get rid of pests by keeping your home clean. It is a myth that you can starve out pests. Many pests can eat things that you would not consider food, like paper or glue. The only way to get rid of pests is to address the problem directly.

Try a do-it-yourself spray

If you can’t afford to have a professional service come out to spray your home for pest prevention, try any of the number of pest control sprays available at local hardware and box stores. Most come in easy-to-use bottles with trigger spray nozzles that allow you to spray around the foundation and windows of your home, both inside and out.

You can prevent most pest infestations by keeping your home clean. Do not leave any food scrapes on your table or in the kitchen sink and make sure you tightly seal garbage bags. Get rid of your garbage on a regular basis and do not hesitate to store garbage bags in your garage until you can get rid of them.

Borax powder is known as a natural pest control

It can be used to rid your home and yard of many different kinds of insects, including roaches and ants. Avoid using borax around children and pets. Instead, place borax along baseboards and under cabinets to quickly rid your home of these pests.

Keep sweet smelling food products in sealed containers or in the fridge. Sweet foods can easily attract a vast variety of pests, from rodents to ants. If you do not have enough containers to seal your sugar, cereal and breads you should invest in them. It will cost you a lot less than paying an exterminator.

Do an inventory of your home, looking specifically for areas of stagnant water. Standing water is one of the biggest attractants for pests. Make sure you have no leaky pipes and keep all standing water under control. Pests rely on water for survival so make sure to get rid of any water sources you can think of.

When trying to avoid having pests in your house, realize that your yard is just as important to upkeep. Don’t let trash sit around outside and make sure that there’s no puddles or stagnant water collecting anywhere. Furthermore, keep your grass trimmed and the weeds to a minimal. You don’t want your yard to be a pest playhouse.

Insects may find their way into your home, but they won’t live to see another day. The next time a bug decides to set up camp inside your home, use these pest control tips on it. The bug and any of it’s friends that wandered in will be pushing up daisies.
