Pests are living organisms that occurs where they are not wanted or that cause damage to crops or humans or other animals. Pests live where they are not wanted or cause harm to crops, people or animals. Pesticides can help get rid of them. Many of us think that pesticides as insect killers, they include chemicals to control weeds, rodents, mildew, germs and more. Many household products contain pesticides. Pesticides can protect our health by killing germs, animals or plants that could harm us. However, most pesticides can be harmful to people or pets. Pesticide drift occurs when pesticides suspended in the air as particles are carried by wind to other areas, potentially contaminating them. Pesticides are one of the causes of water pollution, and some pesticides are persistent organic pollutants and contribute to soil contamination. For killing these pets we should try non chemical method first you might want to try non-chemical methods first buy using these non chemical or homemade products we can save our environment from pollution.

ANTS:-
Ants have always been a problem in the house especially in the kitchen. So? I went searching on Google to find myself the best possible solution for this pest without spend too much money. Here’s what I found on thegreenghost website, it looks pretty amazing considering that you can use household materials for controlling ant problem.
These ideas are a small bottle with soap solution in the house which you can spray. Cut cucumber in small pieces and put in kitchen or point of entry of ants. Ants are natural aversion to cucumber. Bitter cucumbers work best. A few tea bags of mint tea put near areas where the ants seem most active. Dry, crushed mint leaves or cloves also work as ant deterrents. Light also disturb them so you can also put low voltage bulb in that area where ants are most active. The cracks where ants come there you can also put small pieces of garlic.
Cockroaches’:-

Cockroaches are mostly found in kitchen as well as bathroom. To make our house cockroaches free you can use some homemade tips

The first idea is put boric acid on top of kitchen cabinets (not inside), if space allows between ceiling and cabinets, the roaches will take the boric acid to their nests, killing all of them. Boric acid is toxic by mouth. Soap solution in the house you can spray. In an empty one pound coffee can, place 1 or 2 pieces of bread which have been soaked thoroughly with beer. Place in areas known to have roach infestations. You can also Leave bay leaves, cucumber slices or garlic in the affected area as deterrents.
.

Mosquitoes:-

Mosquitoes are mostly found every house. To keep your hose mosquitoes free there are some ideas
These ideas are first of all remove standing water sources. Change birdbaths, wading pools and pet's water bowl twice a week. Remove yard items that collect water. An effective natural bug repellent, mix one part garlic juice with 5 parts water in a small spray bottle. Shake well before using. Spray lightly on exposed body parts for an effective repellent lasting up to 5 - 6 hours. Strips of cotton cloth can also be dipped in this mixture and hung in areas, such as patios, as a localized deterrent. The leaves, seeds and seed oil of the Neem tree contain sallanin, a compound which has effective mosquito repelling properties. Neem oil is a natural product and is safe to use. Planting marigolds around your yard works as a natural bug repellent because the flowers give off a fragrance bugs and flying insects do not like.
Flies:-

Flies are mostly come in the hot. To remove these flies from your house you can apply these ides.
You can use mint as a fly repellent. Small sachets of crushed mint can be placed around the home to discourage flies. Bay leaves, cloves wrapped in small cheesecloth squares can be hung by open windows or doors. You can also put a small, open container of sweet basil and clover near pet food or any open food in the house.
Silverfish

Silverfish prefer damp, warm conditions such as those found around kitchen and bathroom plumbing. Start by vacuuming the area to remove food particles and insect eggs. Silverfish can be easily trapped in small glass containers. Wrap the outside with tape so they can climb up and fall in. They will be trapped inside because they cannot climb smooth surfaces. Drown them in soapy water. The best preventive control is to remedy the damp conditions.
