Here is some great reading for anyone who wants to protect their homes from intruding pest all the while making sure their home remains safe for people and pets alike.

I know I got seriously tired of fighting off pests like ants in my home with harsh chemicals that had us all practically choking all of the time and then only to have to turn around and do it again the following week.

I started using natural ways of getting rid of pest like my ants, fleas, bees, spiders and so on and now I don't have those problems to deal with anymore.

Not having to worry about pests in my home is such a weight off my mind. I always hated opening a cupboard and seeing ants or a big ole spider hanging out in there. Now I don't have to deal with that kind of stuff and I do it all easily with out almost killing all of us in the process.

I tried my brother in laws suggestion of mixing boric acid with jelly to get rid of ants and it did work. The only problem is that it is poisonous so I had to be very careful to place it where the kids and our dog couldn't get to it. I'm much rather use natural, safe pest remedies so that I don't have to worry about it so much.

The natural ways to get rid of pests is of course the best and safest way to do so.

We have 2 cats in our home and anything I use to get rid of insects cannot be poisonous as you know how curious cats can be. And they have to investigate everything.

One good way to help prevent having insects in your home is to start on the outside. Laying down a deterrent for the insects along the outside of your home can prevent insects from coming in and that way you dont have to worry as much about treating the inside of your home.

The only problem with treating the exterior of a house for pests is that if there have already been pests inside, then treating the exterior is going to trap those pests in the home.

However if you treat the interior prior to the exterior then most likely your going to get rid of the pests much easier.

Because of pets and children in homes, I always suggest using natural ways of getting rid of pests. The last thing you want to do is spray harsh chemicals and have everyone choking and running for the door. LOL
