Your home is your safe haven, and no one wants unwelcome guests, especially those annoying pests. There are ways to prevent and eliminate these unwelcome guests in any home. If you try these home remedies and nothing seems to be working, we recommend you call our team to help resolve the issue. Flies, ants, cockroaches, and spiders are the most common. Pest Exit empowers you to take your home back and be proactive in protecting your home.
Flies
Flies are the most common insects that make their way into your home. They find their way into the house by coming through doors or windows and trying to track down food they can feed off. Double-check that all screams do not have holes and that the windows and doors at your home are sealed. We recommend taking extra precautions with your food when the weather gets warmer. Ensure you cover it up. An at-home remedy to eliminate the flies is to place a cup with apple cider vinegar and dish soap. Flies are attracted to the smell of the vinegar, and the dish soap kills them.
Ants
Ants, the pests that travel together, tend to be the hardest household pests to eliminate. This is because if you see one ant, a whole group is likely hiding or already on the way. This is because ants communicate with their colony through their pheromones. This helps their friends track where to go and where there is food. Similarly, you can make a solution with white vinegar and water as flies. This is because ants do not like the smell of vinegar, and if you spray the troubled area, it can kill them.
Cockroaches
The grossest of crawlers are the cockroaches. They have a reputation for being unsanitary. This is because they live in areas where garbage, waste, and germs are breeding grounds for bacteria. They can transfer bacteria like salmonella. These pests also reproduce very quickly; a single female can produce between 120 and 320 eggs in a lifetime. You can ensure you are trying to keep your home safe from
cockroaches by not leaving any trash, food, or dirty dishes around. A solution to eliminate them if you already suffer from them is baking soda and sugar because the cockroaches will be attracted to the sugar, but the baking soda will kill them.
Spider
It is not uncommon for spiders to make homes in your house. These are probably the pests homeowners fear most, even though most are relatively harmless. The few spiders you’ll commonly see that you’ll need to watch out for are the black widow and the brown recluse. Both can be highly harmful to people. These spiders are another pest that reproduces quickly. A female house spider can lay up to 1,600 eggs in her lifetime. The best spider repellent is a water solution with peppermint oil. Spiders don’t like the smell; if you spray it, they should want to evacuate.
Pest Exits
These aren’t the only pests your home can be invaded with, but these are the most common. The Pest Exit team is here to help rid your house of these uninvited guests. With over 30 years of experience, our technicians are highly trained and will ensure that your home and business are pest-free.
