Let’s dive in and create a bug-free haven together! The Power of Prevention Before the bugs even think about moving in, let’s make sure they get the message loud and clear: your home is off-limits! Start by sealing the obvious cracks and crevices that serve as pest entry points. Install screens on windows and doors, and fix leaks to deny them access to water sources. Prevention is your best friend in the battle against pests. Greenix can help identify and seal these entryways with our exclusion service. Natural Solutions in Your Pantry Your kitchen isn’t just for cooking – it’s also a treasure trove of natural pest repellents! Citrus peels, vinegar, and essential oils like peppermint and eucalyptus are fantastic at deterring bugs. Create DIY sprays by mixing these ingredients with water, and you’ll have an arsenal of eco-friendly bug repellents at your disposal.
