How to Get Rid of Insects Naturally

Some people have the mistaken idea that all insects are bad.  It's because of this belief that there are so many products on the market designed to help people get rid of the unwanted insects.  It is true to say that there are insects that can be dangerous, normally the insect only is defending themselves.  So think again about killing ants in your home and garden.

If you require to attack insects, please only target the insects that are genuinely doing harm to your home or your health.  Some people have allergies to insects and so are left with no choice but to eradicate them.  A wasp or bee sting could put some people in the hospital.

Of course, you should already understand that we are unable to live without some insects or at least they pose no threat to us.  Everyone loves butterflies as they are so pretty, but gardeners and fruit crop growers may not appreciate their caterpillars!  Beneficial insects that don't hurt us or our crops are ladybugs and some species of wasps.  Honeybees can sting when threatened, but without honeybees, our honey supply would suffer. Insects and other animals benefit as well. People aren't the only ones who benefit from honey.

For numerous years a product called boric acid has been used in the area of controlling roaches.  Ants have been an age-old problem because of their ability to bite and take over our kitchens.  Wasps that do sting cause allergic reactions, fear in small children and many adults because of their aggressive nature.  In order not to get too close to them, people tend to use a spray killer.  A useful thing to know too is what do ants eat.

Neem comes from the Indian lilac tree.  It prevents feeding and is a growth regulator.  Pyrethrum is one of the most popular natural insecticides for attacking insects.  It is used to paralyze and must be applied directly.  It's contained in many pet shampoos for flea and tick control.  We all know about Nicotine in cigarettes, it of course causes major problems to people's health.  Some insects can actually be controlled by it.  Rotenone and sabadilla dust can be considered exotic natural insecticides because they are made from plants that exist in other countries.  Sabadilla can wreak havoc on a honeybee population, though, and is a short-term insecticide.  So consider the possibility of homemade natural ant killer.
