If not well organized in the manner in which you approach pest control, you might end up achieving nothing. Pest control demands a lot of preparedness and full knowledge of the pest themselves. At any given time, these tips will bail you out. Sprinkling some borax to your house will keep away cockroaches and ants. This chemical is very dangerous so should be sprayed only in affected areas like bathroom. It should not be in places where children or your pets will easily come into contact with.

Insect spray will be good for dealing with any flying insect like mosquitoes, wasps and bees that you don’t want to see. Due to its smell, you are advised to use the spray when there is little or no activity in the house. Alternatively, you can clear everybody from the house before using the spray but not in their presence. You cannot control mosquitoes when stagnant water and big bushes are still characterizing your compound. Start by clearing the two and you will not see mosquitoes giving you a headache anymore.

If you want to trap a rat or mouse, using raw meat will prove to be good and effective bait. Alternatively, you can keep such rodents completely out of your house by sealing off any openings that you deem useless. These rodents can squeeze past even the smallest of the holes so don’t overlook any when you decide to seal them off. It is a preventative measure that you don’t have to give second thought.

Generally, never take individual pest control measures for your house by choosing certain rooms and leaving others. That will make the entire effort ineffective. Pest control measures have to be applied equally to all rooms and parts of the house without discrimination. Through that, you will get positive results forthcoming.
