Pes t control! If you hate dousing your home in chemicals to inhumanely kill insects, below are some simple ways to naturally reduce or eliminate pests in your home. Read, learn, and enjoy a clean, pest-free home!

Please read this first.

  • To keep ants out of any place, sprinkle a line of turmeric powder around the area, and the ants will not enter. You can also keep whole turmeric (the root) in containers of flour, rice, etc. that are subject to pests. Turmeric works as a natural antiseptic agent.

  • Keep a citronella plant in or around your home to repel insects, especially mosquitoes.

  • Keep a sun-dried lemon peel to repel insects.

  • Sachets or sprigs of lavender act as natural moth repellents. Place them in drawers, closets, and suitcases.

  • Keeping basil or a basil plant can help repel insects.

  • Designs created with rice flour at doorways and entryways of your home are not only decorative, but they also provide food for the ants, which means the ants will be less likely to enter your home.
