Inexpensive Pest Control

Before you call in a top-dollar professional to handle your pest invasion problem, try one of these cheaper options: • If you have ants, make a spray of vinegar and water (one part vinegar to one part water). Spray at their entrance into the house, whether it’s at a door, window, or baseboard. Spray their trail completely. • Make homemade ant bait with a mixture of Borax and sugar. Place the mix in small containers. If sugar doesn’t work, mix Borax with something fatty or oily. • If gnats are a problem, let soil in indoor plants dry out completely. This kills any larvae that are nested there.
