Natural Pesticide For Home
Clean Up the Indoor Area
The most important thing you can do to keep pests out of your home is to do some good old-fashioned housekeeping. This means keeping your home clean and free of debris, food crumbs, and garbage. It’s also important to make sure that the area outside your door is clear of debris and scraps—keep it swept up!
If you have pets in the house, try not to let their fur clump up on the floor or furniture; this will create a great environment for mosquitoes and other bugs to breed in. Make sure you regularly clean out any pet beds too—they can get pretty messy if they haven’t been cleaned in awhile!
Banana Peels
Banana peels are a popular home remedy for pests. They contain potassium and phosphorus, which are essential nutrients for plants. You can bury banana peels around plants to keep pests away, or you can make a banana peel spray to kill or repel pests.
Here’s how to use banana peels:
- First, cut the banana in half and then into quarters. Peel the skin off each quarter, but leave them connected at one end so they form an upside-down U shape with two legs sticking out (like you’re doing the splits). Discard the rest of the fruit as compost or garbage depending on whether it has spoiled yet.
- Next, find a place where insects congregate (near your garden) and put your four “legs” down into moist soil at least 6 inches deep until they make contact with earthworms below ground level—this will attract even more beneficial bugs like ladybugs because they love eating grubs!
Remove the Entryways
- Remove the entryways. You are going to need to identify where bugs are entering your home and seal them off accordingly. For example, if you have a door that is letting insects in from outside, then caulk it shut or use some kind of sealant to make sure they don’t slip through any cracks. Additionally, check places like windows, cracks in walls and floorboards and crevices under cupboards for any sign of an unwanted visitor getting into your home. If you find these entryways, seal them up so that no more bugs can sneak in!
Garlic Oil Spray
Garlic oil spray is a natural pesticide that will repel a wide range of pests, including ants, beetles and grasshoppers. To make garlic oil spray, finely chop or mince 5 to 10 cloves of garlic and add them to 2 cups of extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil in a blender. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through cheesecloth or coffee filters into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of soap (natural soap) to 2 cups warm water in a spray bottle. Add the strained garlic mixture and shake well to mix thoroughly before spraying onto plants where insects are present or have been seen recently.
Soapy Water
- Soapy water is a pesticide made by mixing water and soap.
- To make it, you need to mix one part of liquid dish detergent with three parts hot water. This mixture can be sprayed onto plants or trees to help prevent pests from eating them (though it won’t help prevent larger animals like deer). You can also use the soapy water as a spray when rinsing produce in the kitchen sink to remove bacteria.
- The main ingredient in dish soap is sodium lauryl sulfate, which kills insects by breaking down their protective outer layers and absorbing into their bodies. Once absorbed inside insect bodies, the sodium lauryl sulfate causes cells to burst open, killing the insect instantly!
Lavender Oil Spray
Lavender oil is a natural pesticide that you can use to get rid of bugs. It can also be used as an insect repellent, flea and tick killer, disinfectant, and more.
Lavender oil has many uses because it contains terpene compounds that give it its distinctive aroma. These compounds are what make lavender essential oil effective as a bug spray or insect repellent. Lavender has even been noted for its anti-inflammatory effects on skin when applied topically; these properties make it ideal for those who want to protect themselves against ticks and other insects without having to worry about any adverse side effects from toxic chemicals (or the risk of getting bit).
Neem Oil Spray
Neem oil is a vegetable oil pressed from the fruits and seeds of the neem tree. Neem oil is a mixture of components that have insecticidal, fungicidal, and herbicidal properties.
Neem oil is effective for controlling pests such as whitefly, aphids, Japanese beetles, moth larvae, scale, and spider mites on vegetables (e.g., tomatoes), fruit trees (e.g., apples), field crops (e.g., alfalfa or clover), or ornamentals such as flowers in your garden.
Make a Garlic and Onion Insecticide to Get Rid of Bugs
Mix the following ingredients together:
- 1/2 cup of minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons of minced onion
- 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper powder or hot sauce (optional)
Mix the ingredients together and place them into a spray bottle. Shake well before each use, spray the mixture where bugs congregate on your plants and around your home, being sure to give everything a good coating. The smell will dissipate after 24 hours, but if you’re concerned about keeping any lingering smells away from your house or apartment then I suggest brewing some rosemary tea made with lemon balm by filling a teapot with water and adding roughly 4 grams of dried rosemary leaves and one teaspoon each of dried lemon balm leaf & chamomile flower per cup of boiling water; bring it all to a boil for 5 minutes before straining & enjoying!
There are plenty of natural pesticides and pest repellent options that you can use in your home.
Now that we’ve covered the basics of natural pest control, let’s get into some specific suggestions for dealing with bugs in your home. If you’re trying to get rid of something other than a spider or a cockroach, it’s important to know what kind of bug you’re dealing with. This will help us recommend some products that will be most effective for your needs and situation.
If you are having an issue with ants in your home, there are quite a few different options available: from sprays containing boric acid or diatomaceous earth (which can be sprinkled around baseboards), to traps that use bait or poisonous liquids as attractants. However, if you are looking at chemical pesticides or repellents specifically meant only for ants then it is important to keep in mind that these may not always work as well against other types of insects such as spiders or cockroaches because they simply don’t eat similar foods like sugarcane syrup or dead insects tendered by other species (i.e., they might prefer flies over crickets).
