Using repellants
Repellants for various pests For ants-The first line of defense is to remove the attractants. Keep counters free of crumbs and sticky spots. Cover the sugar and put the honey jar in plastic bags. Cut off water sources such as drips or dishes left soaking overnight in sink. If the ant invaders persist, try these simple measures like keep a small spray bottle handy and spray the ants with a bit of soapy water. Set out cucumber peels or slices in the kitchen or at the ant's point of entry. Many ants have a natural aversion to cucumber too. Bitter cucumbers work the best. Leave a few tea bags of mint tea near areas where the ants seem most active. Dry and crushed mint leaves or cloves also work as ant deterrents and repellant too. For dust mites- Microscopic dust mites are everywhere in the home like in the beds, clothing, furniture, book shelves and stuffed animals. For the most part they do not bother anyone, but for people with allergies or asthma, dust mites are a problem. There are few tips or repellants to reduce the dust mite population in the home. Wash bedding at 55 degrees centigrade or higher. Detergents and commercial laundry products have no effect on mites unless the water temperature is high. Keep books, stuffed animals, throw rugs and laundry hampers out of the bedroom of allergy sufferers. Wash stuffed animals occasionally in hot water. Tannic acid neutralizes the allergens in dust mite and animal dander. For cockroach- the best defense against cockroaches is a clean kitchen and bathroom. If cockroaches are a problem in home or apartment, vacuum well and wash the area with a strong soap. Dispose of the vacuum cleaner bag in a sealed container. This all things can help to get rid pests invading home.
