One of the worst things about having pests around your home other than the fact that seeing them is disturbing, is they can be very destructive to your property in Raleigh, NC. They can either be eating or scratching furniture, or leaving furniture stained and smelly.
Pest Control
Unwanted pests get into homes through openings and can end up reproducing quickly. These home remedies and treatments for pests are effective for dealing with an infestation.
Clean Home
Dirt around the home attracts pests and from there they can get into the house. Try to avoid piling up garbage around your home. Keeping a clean home and environment can keep the pests away.
Garlic
Even though a lot of people tend to hate the smell of garlic, it is one of those things that is very helpful in keeping the pests away, apparently, humans are not the only ones that can’t stand garlic. Garlic cloves can be put around pests’ hideouts to send them away and used to make garlic sprays that should be sprayed around their paths to get rid of them.
Hot Pepper
Pepper sauce is not the only way to benefit from having hot peppers around the house; they can be ground and sprayed around pests’ homes to keep them away, talk about “homemade pepper spray”.
Traps
Sometimes you just have to outsmart the pests by setting traps for them around the house, from mechanical traps to traps using foods and or scents they may like depending on the pests you are dealing with. Some traps can be set by using plants that may lure the animal especially if the disturbance is from one particular pest, that way you can eliminate the threat and have peace of mind.
Wall Surfaces
Crawlies like lizards and rats find it easy to crawl on rough walls and may even rest on them, so if the house is in an area that is filled with either of these things, it will be better to avoid using rough walls. These homemade remedies for dealing with pests can be effective, however, if the infestation is severe it may be advisable to call pest exterminators.
