Eco-Friendly Pest Control Products
Millions of homeowners have sensitivities to toxins and chemicals pest removal companies use in their homes and yards; therefore, they are looking for alternatives such as eco-friendly pest control products. There are several name brand products a homeowner could use or make them up using household and kitchen products to rid their home of pesky bugs.
Commercial Pest Control Products
Eco-friendly pest control products made by manufacturing plant to be sold on the shelves of a big box store or hardware store are typically commercial pest control products. These differ from a homemade style because they have all the natural ingredients already in them and ready to spray or lay down in the home. They can be a little pricy but are worth the money if a homeowner wants to help the environment by keeping toxins out of the groundwater and other places in the Earth.
Eco-friendly pest control products are usually non-toxic and can be laid down around pets and children with out issues. Many of them have a base of citrus which is a proven insect killer and non-harmful to humans. In addition, some of the products contain yeast, which is another ingredient that is shown to produce bloating in small bugs; so much so that their insides can no longer hold anything such as air to breath.
Homemade Eco-Friendly Pest Control Products
Vinegar is a great flea and tick killer for pet owners and it will not harm pets or children. It may leave a different odor in the home, but this will not last long and could also be taken care of with candles or air fresheners.
A spray of hot sauces mixed well is also a multi-bug deterrent. Boil together a small onion, chopped, a bulb of garlic, and a red hot chili pepper, 1 liter of water and at the end, 2 teaspoons of dish soap. Run the solution through a filter before placing it into a squirt bottle and spray away.
Many bugs are attracted to light. Some people will place a shallow pan with water and dish soap in it on the floor with a nightlight plugged in and turn off all the lights. In the morning, there will be several hundreds of bugs, all drowned in the soapy water.
