A lot of people ask the exterminators how to get rid of ants and insects organically. Well, there are a lot of green companies out there that may be able to provide that type of service for you so that you don't have to worry about placing things where they shouldn't be using the wrong product.
However, let's say you want to do it yourself. Well there are a couple of things to do; depending on whether you have an insect or you have an ant. You have to make a kind of determination because the characteristics of those individual species are different. They need to be treated differently. Organic products such as diatomaceous earth will do. You may see these products at the grocery store. They would look like round tablets and you can place them either at the corner of the home or behind the refrigerator, at the back of the drawer, in the cabinet and other potential places.
If the insect come in contact with it, the insect may either feed on the product, or rub around it. What's nice about that is it's like a glass product where the insect picks up that product through its skin and as it moves, he rubs and makes a little hole which leads them to dry out or desiccate. This is how the actual product works if you want to use it yourself organically.
If you're looking for insects on the outside of the home, like aphids in your tree or ants in your plants, you can go ahead and use products like oils which are also organic products. If there are ants that are infesting your tree or shrub, you can use a BT which you can use with water and you can just spray it to the ants on the outside of your home.
The outer and inner portion of your home will be more pest-free with organic ant control and without hurting the plants and other creatures at all. If you think organic pest control is a little complicated for you, then don't be reluctant to call a pest control exterminator for assistance.
