Ban bugs without toxic chemicals

It’s much safer for your kids if you banish household bugs without the use of harmful chemicals and pesticides. Here’s how to deal with buggies without icky junk…

• Keep crumbs off the floor; especially in well hidden areas like under the fridge, under stove burners and in-between the fridge and cupboards.
• Never leave standing water anywhere in the house – bugs like to drink your standing water so eliminate it. Watch for leaks and puddles under the fridge and in the basement.
• Block them – try caulking holes and gaps in the walls, especially around baseboards and doors. Most bugs move into your home via cracks.
• Be tidier – I know, it sucks but bugs (other than cockroaches) like it messy. Be sure to clean up piles of paper especially.
• IF you go with poison – DO NOT use a bomb or spray, instead try a bait or gel trap with will won’t fume into your home, but the poison will end up back with the bug wherever he’s hanging out (usually in the wall).
• Try some natural bug barriers. There are tons of herbs, spices, and oils that bugs hate.
• See more pest prevention methods.
