Natural Remedies for Insect Control

Ants:

Isn't it annoying when you just bought a nice loaf of sweet bread or some pastry only to find that the ants have made a feast with it? Ants are a pest, really. Fortunately, we have some home remedies to combat them.

  • Sprinkle talcum powder at the bottom of the doors and windows
  • Sprinkle red pepper or paprika in places where you would find ants
  • Spray vinegar on problem areas
  • Place an oregano sprig in the pantry to keep ants away from food.
  • Place lavender sprigs in places where you have ant problems.
  • Prepare a mixture of sugar and borax and put in problem areas. This is a very effective poison.

Cockroaches:

The cockroach is the most disgusting insect there is. And some people say they cause cancer. Whether they cause cancer or not, the truth is that these bugs are anti-hygienic and we do not want them around. Some home remedies you could try to get rid of cockroaches:

  • Add two cups of Ammonia to the water you will use to clean the floor. After mopping, pour the water down the drains.
  • Make dough balls of boric acid with bread crumbs and put them in places where you have cockroach problems. This is a very effective poison.
  • Clean the floor with bay leaves water.
  • Put baking soda on top of lettuce leaves and put them behind the stove, refrigerator and heating systems.
  • Put crushed bay leaves at the bottom of doors and windows. These bugs can't stand bay.
