Spending days and nights with pests isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time. If you’ve got pest control problems, here’s how to effectively deal with them:
- You could combine sugar and borax and sprinkle this around your home. Ants will come looking for the sugar and succumb to the deadly effects of the borax, ensuring you ant-free space in a matter of hours, says How Stuff Works.
- You can use the same mixture to drive cockroaches away. However, if you’ve got kids and pets inside your home, this might not be the best pest control measure for you.
- Dealing with a hornet? Did a bee get inside your home or are you looking for a way to kill the wasp that stumbled through your window? You can eliminate these pests by using hair spray on them.
- Termites are one of the worst pests around. They’re a bit harder to get rid of, especially if you can’t find the termite colony. And they munch through your books, furniture and clothes. Anyone who has ever had to reach for a beloved book only to find that the pages have now turned to dust and that the spine has been clearly eaten through know the horror and frustration termites bring.
Tips for Dealing with Pests
- Prevention is always better than the cure. So do your best to keep pest invasion from happening. For instance, leftovers attract pests in the worst way. If you want to keep your living space free of ants lining up on your walls or floors, carrying away cookie crumbs you left behind last night, then make sure to dispose of your leftovers properly.
- Keep your leftovers or dry goods in a tight container to discourage pests.
- Have dank, damp corners? Check these out for termite hidey-holes. If you’ve got consistently damp corners, that might indicate a leak in between your walls. Consult a pro to help you fix that up right away.
- Don’t leave your trash open overnight. That’s like sending out invites to all the pests in your home. Use a trashcan with a lid instead.
- Get professional help. If nothing seems to be working or if you’ve got all sorts of pests in your home, it might be better to hire a professional to take care of this for you. With a pro, the extermination process is sure to be fast and efficient.
So if you’ve having pest problems at home, don’t just rely on DIY. Contact the pros for help.
