Steel Wool: Because steel wool is difficult for mice and rats to chew, it appears to be an excellent pest deterrent. Stuff steel wool into any holes or cracks where mice may enter. Flies: Apple Cider Vinegar Trap: Fill a jar with apple cider vinegar and a few drops of liquid soap, then cover it with plastic wrap and poke small holes. Flies are attracted yet unable to escape. Citrus, lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, and lemongrass essential oils can be used to repel flies.

  4. Mosquitoes: Remove Standing Water: Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so remove any stagnant water from your home. Citronella Candles: According to the American Mosquito Control Association, citronella candles work efficiently as a mild repellent. Bedbugs: Diatomaceous Earth: Spread food-grade diatomaceous earth over affected regions. Heating method: Regularly wash and heat-dry bedding to kill bedbugs. Declutter and clean your home: Remove and wash bedding, curtains, and clothing in hot water, then dry on the highest heat setting. Vacuum your mattress, box springs, and surrounding regions.

  5. Spiders: Peppermint Oil: Spiders loathe the scent of peppermint. Mix peppermint oil with water and spray in spider-infested areas. Vinegar: Combine equal parts vinegar and water and spritz into corners and crevices. Termites: Cardboard Trap: Wet a piece of cardboard and place it near termite-infested regions. When termites infest cardboard, remove and burn it. Boric Acid: Create a paste by combining boric acid powder and water, then apply it to cracks, crevices, and areas with obvious damage. The termites then transport the acid back to their colony, effectively eradicating the entire population. As a result, avoid over-application because termites cannot penetrate thick layers.

  6. Precaution to keep home pest-free: Seal the Entry Points: Keep Them Out! Begin by checking your home for possible access points. Pests can get through even the smallest holes and fissures. Examine the foundation for any openings, including windows and doors. Use weather stripping to fix gaps, restore damaged screens, and caulk holes. This not only keeps pests away but also encourages energy conservation. Landscaping Tips: Trim and Tidy Up A well-kept yard serves as a natural barrier against pests. Trim plants and trees away from the home to reduce pathways for insects to enter. Regularly mow the yard, rake the leaves, and eliminate any standing water. Pests enjoy hiding in overgrown plants and thrive in regions with excessive wetness. Kitchen Vigilance: Do Not Invite Them to Dinner The kitchen is a popular area for bugs. Keep all food in closed containers, pick up crumbs immediately, and repair any leaking faucets. Inspect under appliances on a regular basis for spills or crumbs that could attract bugs. Keeping a kitchen pest-free is essential to keeping it clean. Attic and Basement Check: No Hidden Places Pests find dark, congested locations to be ideal hiding places. Check your attic and basement for signs of pests, such as droppings, nests, or gnawed items. To deter bugs from settling in, keep these places well-ventilated and dry.
