When you have a pest problem at home, there is no need to call pest control. You can actually solve the problem yourself which will save you a great amount of money. The only thing you need is a vacuum cleaner. Not only do you save money but it’s also a non-toxic way to get rid of the pests. This is the most harmless solution to the problem and it’s definitely worth trying. The vacuum cleaner can help you remove insect populations in no time. So don’t hesitate to try out a few tips.
Firstly, choose a vacuum cleaner. There are different kinds so be careful. For example, there is the vacuum with a hose. It’s really practical to use it for sucking up insects. Especially from irregular surfaces. Although, a vacuum with a rotating brush is even better at removing unwanted bugs. It also cleans scraps on which the insects survive. And some vacuum cleaners have both a hose and a rotating brush.
Next thing you should do is vacuum regularly as this will make bugs unwelcome, permanently. The reason is that they won’t have anything to eat. No food means that the environment won’t be good enough for the insects. In result, they won’t come in frequently and multiply. Another trick is to put food in containers as well as jars. Be sure to clean any dust from shelves, corners carpets, etc. Don’t forget to mop or vacuum under the fridge, the oven, under sofas and any other large items like these where dust settles. By cleaning any spider webs you decrease the future spider population. Provided that there are 300 little spiders in one egg, it’s quite important to get rid of all the webs you see. All of these precautions are much better than chasing each and every bug in the house.
In case you have pets, it’s a must to clean after them. The area where your pet eats should be cleaned as often as possible because dry pet food leftovers are the main reason for insect intrusions. If you have a dog, it’s advisable to give it a bath every day. Because various bugs can hide in your pet’s fur, baths are a really good idea.
Finally, after using the vacuum cleaner, you should immediately empty it and throw the bag away. If you don’t tie it, the insects can easily crawl out. So be sure to get rid of the garbage bag right away.
