Control Methods
Controlling mosquitoes
Mosquitoes in the home are very stubborn especially keeping in mind that they are flying insects. Mosquito bites can be very painful, and mosquitoes around the home make it uncomfortable to sleep. To control, mosquitoes make sure that you avoid any form of stagnant water in the home. Stagnant water in the home encourages the breed of mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes lay their egg in water and later hatch them. If you eliminate stagnant water around the home, you will be addressing the problem from the cause and this is the best way to control the spread of mosquitoes without pesticides.
Controlling termite
Termite always thrives in areas where we have a lot of moisture and wood. The first step towards controlling termites is to make sure that you control moisture around the home. Any person who has experienced the termite menace knows how destructive they can be.
Terminates can eat the foundation of a house and bring it down. Make sure that you control any moisture and especially around wood. You can chemically treat wood or apply an oil sealant on wood to make sure that the wood does not absorb moisture.
Controlling rodents
Rodents are another type of destructive pests that are common in the home. You have not experienced the full effects of the pest if you have never found your favorite dress with a hole in it. This explains how rodents can be destructive to the home. In the group of rodents, we include rats and mice, and both of them can be controlled in the same way.
The first steps are clearing bushes around the home where the rats and mice hide. In the different entrants in the home, you can put traps to make sure that the mice and rats do not enter the home. Rodents are attracted to protein and fatty foods so make sure that these foods are properly sealed. These are the same foods that can be used in the traps.
