1. Clean Up

Sanitation is one of the most successful home remedies for pest control. It is also one of the easiest and safest of all these healthy pest control techniques. By simply cleaning your house (most importantly the basement, attic, bathrooms, and the kitchen) you will curtail the allure of your home to different types of mosquitoes, ants, flies, and other species of insects. Often emptying trashcans, cleaning floors, and washing counter tops will help go a long way towards a healthy insect-free home.

2. Keep Pets Groomed

Cats, dogs, and other household pets often bring bugs into your home. This is why constant grooming is important to remove any bugs from their coats and keep your pets healthy. Washing and combing your pets after they’ve been outside will remove ticks, mosquitoes, and other insects from entering your home.


3. Close Up Cracks

Another form of natural pest control is closing up cracks and crevices that could possibly be entry points for insects into your home. By sealing windows, replacing screens, and chalking holes in your roof or siding you can prevent most insects from entering your home for warmth, food, or other reasons.

4. Minimize Insect Habitats

Cleaning garden areas of debris and weeds will help eliminate and minimize areas where insects would typically thrive. Minimizing these habitats around your home will help reduce the amount of insects inside and outside your home. Also maintaining the health of your plants, will help keep them strong enough to repel harmful insects and pests.

5. Remove Dead Or Dying Plants

Going with the same idea as the last technique, removing dead or dying plants will help stop attracting insects to the outside of your home. Dead and dying plants are nourishment for more insects than healthy and vibrant plants are. Healthy plants can repel garden pests more successfully than a dying plant would be able to. Treating your plants with fertilizers and watering them often will help them live longer lives.


6. EcoSMART’s Organic Pesticides
