Tips On Pest Control CT

By Grace Rivas


Pest control CT is an important activity that each home owner will have to do one time or another. Before calling in the professionals, it is always recommended that a person tries to implement a few home remedies. Professionals can be called in to deal with a situation that is out of hand or where there are many types of bugs that cannot be controlled using such solutions.

It therefore starts with ensuring that your lawn does not start to suffer from grub damage. Grub damage is brought about by the presence of a raccoon. To prevent its occurrence, all that is needed is to make sure that hair or fur is spread all over the lawn. No raccoon will go to a lawn that has hair or fur on it.

Chemical repellents are an expensive approach to dealing with an ant menace. Ants can easily be repelled using a home remedy. Normally, the ants crawl in through the windows as well as the doors. Spreading a little amount of coffee in these areas will prevent this from happening.

Fruit flies as the name suggests are very common in areas where there are sweet substances. Even though the flies are seasonal, they still need to be controlled. Placing apple cider in a bottle and placing a paper with little holes on it can help drown the flies.

In any home, it is common to notice the presence of house flies. These are brought about by a combination of different factors. Taking cloves, clover blossoms and eucalyptus and combining the three in to a sachet which is then hanged at the ceiling is a very good solution.

Moths are bugs that can be found in closets and other dark areas. When present, they are known to produce a very bad smell that may be very hard to cope with. You can make a sachet to deal with the smell. This can be made using peppercorns, lavender, cedar chips and whole cloves.

Rodents are attracted to areas that are not well cleaned. Their mere presence alone is a major headache as they not only consume your food, but they also spread germs by walking on your sinks and other food preparation areas. Cayenne paper, peppermint and castile soap mixed in water is the perfect solutions.

Food substances are known to attract the presence of roaches. Roaches are perhaps the easiest bugs to deal with. All that is required is a solution made from hot sauce and water. This is then sprayed in the areas where they are located.

Carpenter ants and termites are known to love wood furniture. Properties made from wood or timber can also be affected. Once a termite menace has begun, it will be important to institute the right measures as soon as possible. Canned cat food combined with boric acid and grape jelly that has been spread all over the timber surfaces will ensure that your property is not destroyed.

At times, the home remedies or do it yourself projects may fall short of your expectations by being unable to eliminate the existing threats. Where this happens, a person must consider calling in the pest control CT professionals. They will have all the right answers.
