If you're considering do-it-yourself (DIY) pest control, it's important to understand the common pests in the area and effective strategies to manage them. Here's a comprehensive guide to assist you:

1. Ants

  • Diatomaceous Earth (DE): Sprinkle food-grade DE along ant trails and entry points. This natural powder dehydrates ants upon contact.

  • Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts of water and white vinegar, then spray directly on ants and their entryways to disrupt their scent trails.

3. Cockroaches

  • Boric Acid and Sugar Bait: Combine equal parts of boric acid and sugar, and place the mixture in areas where cockroaches are active. The sugar attracts them, and the boric acid kills them.

  • Seal Cracks and Crevices: Prevent entry by sealing gaps in walls, floors, and around pipes.

4. Rodents (Mice and Rats)

  • Peppermint Oil: Soak cotton balls in peppermint oil and place them near entry points. The strong scent repels rodents.
