Seal off openings to prevent rodents from coming into your home. Mice and rats can easily squeeze through small openings. If rodents are unable to get into your home, you won’t have a rodent problem. Be sure your recycled goods are properly rinsed. It is especially important to rinse items that contain sugar, such as soda cans. Get the soda pop completely out of the can. Then you can store it in your home or garage without worrying about it attracting pests. Follow the instructions on pesticides carefully and thoroughly. Otherwise, you may never achieve the results you truly desire. For example, if you’re instructed to apply it every day, don’t miss a day. If you don’t follow directions, you will prolong the infestation.
Fleas can be very difficult to expel, but there are things that can be done to rid your home of them. The first thing to do is to thoroughly vacuum everyday, than spray the area with a good flea spray. Be sure you get rid of the bag in your vacuum after you vacuum up the home.
Alcohol can be used to get rid of a host of insects. Surprising isn’t it? Pouring beer around your garden will repel snails and slugs and protect some plants from being eaten by other sorts of bugs. Pour beer into a container that has Vaseline around its lip and you’ll have your very own, homemade bug trap.
