What method do you use to control insects at home?

deucher
Insects have always been a problem for me, so you need to deal with them in different ways to be effective. For example, the easiest method is to put a special net for the windows so that they don't even fly in, but if this happens, I use different sprays, but for this you need to leave the house for a couple of hours or special electronic devices that make a sound that we can't hear, but insects are afraid of it.
 
I have never used electronic devices to control insects, I have also never used natural remedies such as vinegar for controlling insects in the house. I have always used pesticides and insecticides. We are already exposed to a lot of toxic materials including pesticides in our fruits and vegetables, therefore, I am not scared to use chemicals against insects.
 
If your house is kept clean, pests and insects won't be seeking refuge in your house. I make sure to clean everywhere in my house every day to stop insects from camping in my house.
True, but this is not always the cases. Like over here, our house is surrounded with lots of bushes. Due to this, there are always pest coming around. Though we have been able to control the bush but since there is no fence for now, they still wonder close to the house most times.
 
For controlling insects at home, I prefer using integrated pest management with minimal chemical pesticides. Exclusion by sealing cracks and entries is the first line of defense. Setting targeted traps can reduce many pests safely. As a last resort, I may use plant-based or least-toxic insecticides for severe infestations, carefully following instructions.
