A dirty house will always invite unwelcomed guest while a clean one would invite the right visitors.
Insects are known to be one of the most common sources of danger in the house, you leave your food uncovered and you might end up being diagnosed with cholera simply because a fly landed on your food.
What encourages these insects to infest your home is the environment they find. Flies will always throng dirty areas while ants will invade sugary surfaces.
Here are some of the ways you can deal with these insects and keep them at bay.
1. Spiders
They are mostly found in latrines and have venom even though some are not poisonous.
You can get rid of them by regularly sweeping your room and get the dark corners cleaned. Use an insecticide to kill them.
2. Houseflies
They are always known for pestering people, especially in public places.
To prevent flies from invading your home, always ensure your latrine is cleaned often.
You should also use air freshener. While doing all this, remember to keep your food covered. Many people prefer using the coil but this has to go with your preference that is if you are caring for the environment.
3. Mosquitoes
The Anopheles female mosquito is known for transmitting malaria.
Clear any bushes that might be surrounding your home and pour oil on stagnant water so that they do not survive. Use a treated mosquito net while sleeping to avoid getting infected by those insects.
In addition to that, spray your room with an insecticide 4 hours before going to bed. Also, make sure you close your windows before 6 pm so that the mosquitoes do not get through and settle inside your house.
4. Cockroaches
They mostly like the kitchen area and are known to be very destructive. To keep them away, maintain cleanliness in your kitchen and they would be kept away.
5. Ants
They mostly prefer staying outdoors but they can be attracted by a dustbin full of sugar cane peelings inside your house.
Ants can cruelly disrupt your sleep if they find their way to your room. When they get out of hand to use an insecticide and to prevent them from visiting again, do not leave sugary things exposed.
