Garlic method to combat household pests

Measures to prevent future infestations

While garlic is a great ally, prevention is key to keeping your home pest-free.

Maintain cleanliness

• Avoid leaving food remains exposed.
• Clean up crumbs and food residue immediately.
• Make sure trash cans are tightly closed and emptied frequently.

Using repellent plants

• Place pots with mint or basil near doors and windows to ward off insects.
• If you have problems with rats, a cat at home can be a great natural deterrent.

Improve home security

• Seal cracks and holes in walls, ceilings, and floors.
• Check windows and doors to make sure they close properly.
• Use steel wool or wire mesh in vulnerable areas.

With these natural strategies and a little prevention, you can keep your home pest-free without the need for harsh chemicals.
