Beyond the Kitchen: Protecting Your Home
While the kitchen is a primary target, insects can infiltrate other areas of your home. Extend your natural pest control efforts with these tips:
- Screen windows and doors: Install or repair screens to block entry points without sacrificing fresh air.
- Use light strategically: Insects are drawn to bright lights, so consider using yellow or sodium-vapor bulbs outdoors to reduce attraction.
- Keep outdoor areas tidy: Clear away debris, trim overgrown plants, and remove standing water to limit breeding grounds near your home.
By combining these strategies with your natural repellents, youâll create a fortress against pests throughout your living space.
