Are you in the know about pest control? Eradicating your problem can easily be done with the right knowledge. You can take lots of measures to keep pests from invading your home.
Suffering from a pest infestation? Mixing borax and sugar together will kill those ants dead. Sugar acts as an attractant, then the borax will cause them to die when they get to it. Just make a half-and-half mixture of sugar and borax in a one-quart jar. Put the mixture in a jar with holes punctured into the top, then shake it over baseboards and over your home’s foundation.
If you wish to have vegetation near your home, you should keep them a minimum of one foot from the perimeter of your home. A pile of brush is an inviting home for household pests. These pests will likely come right on into your home if the bush is located near a door or a window.
There are dogs trained to sniff out termites so you can know for sure whether you have them. Human termite inspectors cannot verify that your entire home is safe from termites. In fact, these inspectors can only claim up to one-third is safe. A dog with the right training is able to check about 100 percent of the house. Trained dogs can detect methane gas that results from the eating of wood by termites.
Get rid of fallen trees in your yard. Use the trunk and branches as fuel for your fireplace. You can either use it yourself or give it to someone. Make sure you don’t forget about the stump. Stumps can easily attract termites to your home.
If you find a lot of flying bugs or even bats inside your home, check the screens on your windows. In addition to preventing flying insects from entering, they can also deter those who crawl. If you find holes in the screens, make repairs to keep the bugs out.
One pest that is known for being hard to eliminate is fleas. Thankfully, you can use several methods for eliminating fleas and their eggs. The first thing you have to do is use a vacuum every day and then you spray a good flea spray. Always discard the vacuum bag after use.
Not surprisingly, pests are easier to attract than to get rid of. Hopefully here you have gotten enough knowledge to keep pests away. If your issue with pests is out of control, you may need the assistance of an exterminator.
