You Want To Know More About Ants
DIY methods of ant control
- Place natural repellents like coffee grounds, peppermint oil, and lemon in areas where ants are likely to enter. This will keep ants at bay, but will likely not resolve the source of an ant problem.
- Clean with a solution of equal parts water and distilled white vinegar, which ants dislike.
- Poison ants with bait stations or topical solutions from a home supply store. Ideally, the worker ants will take the poison back to the queen and eradicate the colony. However, in many cases, the workers die before they ever get back to the nest, so the poison doesn’t make it to the source of the problem.
What can you do to prevent ants from settling in your home?
- Avoid leaving food, dirty dishes, or food particles where ants can get to them. Though they aren’t very selective, most ants are drawn to sugary, fatty, or greasy foods.
- Use gap sealant or caulk to seal cracks and openings around windows, doors, and pipes so ants can’t enter your home.
- Remove debris, rotting logs, and lumber from your yard.
- Repair leaks and dry out moist areas in your home.

You Want To Know More About Bed Bugs
How can I treat bed bugs myself?
Should you find bed bugs in your home, these do-it-yourself tips may help:
- Run clothing, bedding, and other smaller soft items through a dryer for at least half an hour at the highest setting. Afterward, seal them in plastic bags until the entire home has been treated.
- Heat your home to at least 120°F for 90 minutes to kill bugs and eggs on items that won’t fit in a dryer.
- Purchase do-it-yourself kits that contain mattress encasements and products designed to treat bed bugs.
How do you prevent bed bugs?
- Remove clutter, reducing the number of places bed bugs can hide.
- Vacuum regularly – even daily – to pick up eggs and live bugs.
- Protect mattresses, box springs, and pillows with encasements designed specifically to keep bugs out.
- Seal potential areas of entry like cracks and crevices using caulk, foam sealant, or physical barriers.
- Inspect any furniture, clothing, or bedding for infestation before bringing them into your home.
- Avoid contact with others’ belongings.
- Check your mattress and box spring regularly for signs of bed bugs.
- When traveling, place luggage in the bathroom before inspecting the room for bed bugs.
- Implement bed bug monitoring devices which are designed to identify their presence.

How to Prevent Flies
- Install fine mesh screens on windows and doors or keep doors and windows shut.

- Secure lids on trash bins and clean up trash overflow.

- Cover food being prepared or eaten outdoors.
Pest Concern
You Want To Know More About Grasshoppers
DIY Treatment
- Dust Your Plants With Flour – this method is a quick and convenient way to get rid of grasshoppers destroying your plants. Flour causes grasshoppers to starve by gumming their mouths and preventing them from being able to eat. Be sure to use all-purpose flour for the best results and simply sprinkle a thin layer over any affected plants.
- Apple Cider Vinegar – as a simple pantry item with so many beneficial uses, it’s no surprise that apple cider vinegar is also a great solution for fighting off grasshoppers. We recommend placing disposable cups or open freezer bags filled halfway with vinegar and placing them throughout your garden beds. Grasshoppers are immediately drawn to the solution and drown in the vinegar.
- Introduce Natural Predators – one of the best ways to tackle an overactive grasshopper population for the long-term is by introducing some of their natural predators to your landscape. In particular, praying mantises, birds, cats, and chickens are some of the most effective predators when it comes to eliminating your grasshopper problems.
Steps to Prevent Them
- Garlic Spray is an easy and inexpensive way to deter grasshoppers from feeding off your plants. You can either make your own solution at home by blending two cloves combining with water in a spray bottle - or a purchase a ready-made solution here.
- Adding grasshopper-repelling plants to your landscape is one of the best ways to prevent them from inhabiting your yard in the first place. Plants like the Chinese brake fern, horehound, calendula, and cilantro naturally deter grasshoppers from your garden due to their strong scent and off-putting taste. Not only will these plants help enhance the bounty of your landscape, but they’ll also keep a variety of menacing bugs from feeding off your garden!

Tips for DIY methods of roach control

- Repair water leaks and dry wet items and areas.
- Seal cracks, holes, and crevices where roaches can enter and hide.
- Store food in airtight containers and clean food preparation areas.
- Clear clutter and dispose of old newspapers and boxes.

Pest Concern
You Want To Know More About Silverfish
DIY Silverfish Treatments
- Trap silverfish using a glass jar. Place a starchy food like bread inside the jar to attract the silverfish. Wrap the outside of the jar with masking tape to give the pest traction to climb. Once inside, the silverfish cannot climb back out of the slick glass walls. This approach will remove silverfish, but not their eggs or those insects who don’t climb into the jar.
- Use purchased baits. Baits attract silverfish to a sticky surface which prevents them from moving. Like traps, baits do not treat the cause of a silverfish infestation.
- Apply diatomaceous earth. This desiccant removes moisture, ultimately drying up the silverfish. While not toxic, diatomaceous earth is a lung irritant and should be handled very carefully.
- Use chemical treatments. Powders and sprays containing boric acid, pyrethrins, or pyrethroids are effective at repelling silverfish. However, these compounds should not be used in areas where pets or children are likely to come into contact with them.
How to Prevent Silverfish
- Reduce the humidity in your home by repairing water leaks, ventilating moist areas, or using a dehumidifier.
- Clean, vacuum, and mop regularly to remove food scraps, mold, paper, and silverfish eggs. Don’t overlook the interiors of cabinets, baseboards, and areas behind the stove and refrigerator.
- Store food in airtight containers.
- Avoid leaving out uneaten pet food.
- Fill cracks that could serve as potential entry points with caulk or sealant.
- Repair wallpaper that has pulled away from the wall.
- Place important papers and photographs in sealed containers.
- Avoid creating stacks of newspapers or magazines.
Pest Concern
You Want To Know More About Mosquitoes
DIY Mosquito Treatments
- Apply an over-the-counter insecticide. These will kill mosquitoes on contact, but will not prevent new ones.
- Add bacteria called bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (or Bti) to water where larvae are found. Bti produces proteins that become toxins once ingested by the larvae.
- Place mosquito traps in infested areas. These traps are capable of killing thousands of mosquitoes per day.
- Avoid bug zappers. While these machines kill other types of insects, they have proven to be ineffective for mosquito problems.
Mosquito Prevention Tips
- Keep standing water to a minimum. Stagnant pools of water, even in small amounts, offer excellent breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Bird baths, toys, gutters, non-chlorinated pools, plant containers, and poorly-drained lawns are all potential havens for mosquitoes.
- Repair torn screens and close gaps where mosquitoes can enter your home.
- Add mosquito-repelling plants like citronella or the lemon-scented geranium to your landscape.
- Use fans to break down carbon dioxide and blow mosquitoes away.
- Add gambusia fish (also called mosquitofish) to ponds. They feed on mosquito larva.
- Wear clothing and shoes to cover exposed skin.
- Burn pinion wood in your outdoor fire pit. Mosquitoes do not like its smell.
- Sprinkle used coffee grounds in standing water. They force mosquito eggs to the surface, depriving them of necessary oxygen.
- Use red cedar mulch or chips in your yard.
- Apply an insect-repelling spray or lotion that contains DEET, lemon-eucalyptus oil, or picaridin.
- Hang a bat house to attract bats to your yard for natural mosquito control, as a single brown bat can eat up to 1,000 mosquitoes in one hour.
