Pests can be a nuisance in the house. They can contaminate your kitchen and ruin your clothes. No one likes to co-exist with pests in their home, and they shouldn’t have to. There are a lot of ways you can rid your house of pests, but only some of them work.
We recommend applying natural remedies that can give the best possible results. Have a look at some of the best natural pest control tips.
Mouse Traps
The best mouse traps are the ones that can lure the rodents in and also prevent them from taking the food without getting trapped. Mice like to eat seeds, but when they are inside houses, they are very attracted to fatty foods and high-calorie sweets.
You can add tiny bits of soft cheese or peanut butter as they will work well. If you don’t have either of these, you can use chocolate or nuts. Have a look at the website Pest Wiki, to find out more about mouse baits and which ones you should get.
Oil Repellent for Dust Mites
Dust mites can cause allergies, asthma and hay fever. If you sense them in your house, act at once. Make your own dust mite repellent spray by mixing clove, lavender, peppermint or rosemary oil with water. Add this solution in a spray bottle so it can get in tiny places too.
If you have rashes on your body, you can mist your bed with this oil lightly. Mites hate these scents and will stay away from the areas that you have sprayed.
Ant Bait
One or two ants can seem innocent and harmless, but when there is a whole bunch of them, they can cause havoc. Not to mention the intense bites caused by ants, that can get painful.
This is a very popular solution when there is an ant attack on your house. The combination of borax and sugar is known as an ant killer. Mix half cup sugar with one cup of warm water and two tablespoons of borax. When you place this solution in front of the ants, it will solve all your ant problems.
Garlic Juice Mix
Apparently, garlic can solve any problem. Whether it is flu or whether it is pest infestation, garlic will make sure that the day is saved. It is a natural bug repellent. Mix one tablespoon garlic juice with five tablespoons of water. Make this solution in a small spray bottle, so it is easy to spray. Shake the solution well before using it.
When you spray this solution on your feet and arms, it can act as a bug repellent that will last for hours. If you dip pieces of cotton cloth in the solution and hang them in patios etc., it will act as a deterrent.
Fruit Fly Trap
Are you sick of fruit flies just like we are? Take a bottle with a funnel-shaped top so the flies can get in but not out. Fill the bottle with apple cider vinegar and chopped apple pieces, and it will form an efficient trap for the flies. It is something so simple yet very effective.
