It is not a good feeling to see any form of bugs in your home. It gives you an eww kind of feeling. What are natural ways to rid of bugs naturally? I am going to share that today. Bugs to me are the worst especially when they are in your home. So, what can we do about this in a more natural way? Regardless of your reason why this is a great decision to make for your overall wellbeing.
Keep it Clean
Bugs love food and their food is your crumbs so you need to keep a clean home. Remove any reason or excuse for bugs to come in. Vacuum your floors over sweep because sweeping leaves things behind. Wipe down your countertops and table. Don’t forget to also clean your kitchen sink as well. If you can think of it, clean it.
Avoid Clutter & Wet Areas
Prep Ahead
To know how to get rid of them you need to prep ahead of time. You should make a conscious effort to seal cracks and crevices throughout your home. I am talking about cupboards in your kitchen and bathroom, the sinks, and baseboards. I use silicone caulk for this and it works like a charm. Any time I see cracks anywhere especially by windows or vents, around pipes I make sure to seal it because these are places bugs like to hide, live and lay eggs.
Another thing is that you want to keep your home prepped. This means getting items that will scare them from even entering your home in the first place again. I bought these lavender-scented sachets from Amazon. You place them around your home because bugs do not like the scent of it.
You can also buy cedar rings for your closet as well.
Use Essential Oils
I love essential oils and I love the fact that you can use them to keep away bugs. It is known that bugs do not like the scents of peppermint, lavender, lemongrass, eucalyptus and tea tree oil. So, how can you use this in your home? I created a natural home bug spray just for this very reason. Your home smells like peppermint but I take that over bugs any day. If you don’t want to keep spraying it around you can always diffuse the essentials bugs don’t like it into the air.
Final Thoughts
By always keeping your home clean, avoiding clutter/wet areas, prepping your home ahead of time and using essential oils you can keep bugs outside of your home with these easy to implement suggestions. Let’s kick these bugs to their home outside of your home so that everyone is happy. Do you have any suggestions that are natural that
