A lot of homeowners wonder what is the solution that can get rid of insects and bugs.

For example, if you have thousands of ants in your home, you must first determine where these ants come from. Among the safest pest control solution is to use boric acid powder and mix it with honey and place it in a low jar lid. You can also use cucumber peels and place it at teh entry points in your property. Ants do not like cucumbers due to the terpernoids found in citrus skins thus making cucumbers taste bitter. Ants also do not like chalk, talcum powder, damp coffee grounds, liquid pepper or borax.
If you have cockroaches at home, you can mix a cup shortening and 1/8 cup sugar until the mixture becomes creamy. You must then stir in 8 ounces of powdered boric acid and the cup flour together. You must then pour just enough water to make a soft dough and shape it into balls. To get rid of roaches, you must put these boric acid balls in areas where you usually see cockroaches. For other insects and bugs, you can use a chemical pesticide which can kill ants, beetles, and other insects and bugs. If you are not comfortable with doing any pest control on your own, you can always seek the services of a professional pest control expert.
Employing the services of a professional exterminator can ensure you that your insect and bug infestation will be over in no time. They can inspect and determine the extent of the problem and find the best pest control solution.
