We all want to live in a
pest-free home. This even extends to almost every business owner who wants to
keep pests off their property. The presence of unwanted bugs and insects isn’t
appealing. For those that find that they are dealing with one or two bugs, it
might not be that big of an issue. However, those that are frightened or hate
bugs, in general, might think that two bugs are too many.
Are Natural Remedies Really That
Effective?
Short answer, yes. Some
remedies, like essential oils, can deter pests from choosing your property.
While natural remedies are useful for getting rid of a rogue insect or a small
cluster, and active infestation might not react in the same manner. It is
always advised that if you are having a recurring issue with pests like roaches,
bees, ants, or even a rodent issue that you contact your local pest controller.
There is no replacement for professional pest control treatments when talking
about long term effectiveness.
The Downsides of All-Natural
Solutions
The one downside to
using natural remedies is they will lose effectiveness over time. The area you
are treating, and the bugs that are around will get adapted to what you are
using. This could mean you’ll need to change up what you are using, or go with
a chemical treatment anyway. In this article, we will go over some of the
natural remedies you can use both around your home or office space to deter
bugs.
Conventional All-Natural Methods
For Pest Control
Going all-natural is
awesome. Natural remedies protect those around you, including pets, and not to
mention better for the environment. With the elimination of propellants and
chemicals that could be harmful, it’s no wonder more and more households are
opting for the natural way of controlling bugs, insects, and other unwanted
creepy crawlies. Take a look at a few of the most popular options for use
around the home.
White Distilled Vinegar
If you are looking for
something to control bees or wasps around your yard, using a white distilled
vinegar spray might do the trick. You can dilute the vinegar with one part
water to 3 parts vinegar. While it might be tempting to swap for apple cider
vinegar, white distilled is prepared. Apple cider vinegar has a sweetness that
can attract bugs.
Rosemary
Rosemary is not only
something you can season your favorite dishes with, but it can also repel
insects, spiders, and bugs. Most homeowners will either grow the herb or
purchase the essential oils. Either option will work as the smell is what
deters pests. Some pest control companies that offer all-natural sprays have
rosemary essential oils in the formula.
Aloe Vera
Planting some aloe vera
plants in the yard can keep pests at bay too. Consider putting closer to the
home, and around the entrances for the best effect. Aloe vera is an easy plant
to grow and care for, Being from the succulent family, aloe vera requires very
little water and a whole lot of sunshine.
The Best Choice For A Pest-Free
Property
If you want the
reassurance that pests won’t be a problem in your home, choosing a safe
chemical treatment from your local pest controller is the best solution. Most
chemical pesticides used by the professionals are entirely safe around humans
and pets but have a considerable morbidity rate against unwanted pests.
It is not advised to use
over the counter products you can pick up at the store. These are littered with
chemicals that can be potentially dangerous if inhaled and bad for the
environment. If you are struggling with an active infestation, contact your
local pest control for assistance if natural remedies fail.
