The 5 most common household insects and how to get rid of them
Insects indoors can be a real nuisance, especially in warmer months. Fortunately, there are effective and natural ways to keep them out. Here are the five most common household insects – and how to fight them effectively.
1. Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are most active in the evening and their bites cause itching and irritation. Solution: Use an automatic dispenser with natural pyrethrum. It works 24/7 to keep mosquitoes away.
2. Flies
Flies can spread bacteria and are particularly bothersome around food. Solution: Maintain cleanliness, cover waste bins, and use a UV fly trap or spray.
3. Silverfish
These pests love moist areas like bathrooms, kitchens, or basements. Solution: Place a dispenser in damp areas and reduce humidity by ventilating well.
4. Fruit flies
They are attracted to ripe fruit and juices, and reproduce rapidly. Solution: Remove food scraps immediately, store fruit in cool places, and spray to keep them away.
5. Ants
Ants form colonies quickly and sneak in through tiny cracks, especially in the kitchen. Solution: Clean up food immediately and spray entry points and ant trails.
