Many of us try to do things “naturally.” When controlling pests, we’d like to be able to that “naturally,” too. By taking simple actions around the house, we can often naturally prevent pest infestations. There are some simple things you can do now for natural pest control without buying a thing, too.
Natural or organic pest control means whatever we use to kill bugs involves a product that Mother Nature makes — not a product that is man-made. Generally, people assume that if it’s “natural,” it is safer than non-natural products. That’s true, in most cases.
But the drawback to many organic natural pest control products is that they do not work as well as man-made products. However, certain natural products are very useful. Bug & Weed Mart carries about 40 organic or natural pest control products:
- Glue Traps: VERY effective in diagnosing what kind of pest you have in or out of your home
