When it comes to controlling common indoor pests, there are a number of natural remedies that can be used. One of the most effective methods is to use mint. It can be used to spray furniture and bedding, and the scent will help to repel all types of creatures, including ants, flies, mosquitoes, and mice. To further increase the effectiveness of this remedy, small bags of crushed mint or peppermint tea bags can be placed around the house.
Another natural remedy that can be used is neem. Boiling neem leaves in water and spraying the cooled water onto plants can help to eliminate plant pests and diseases. Neem oil can also be used for the same purpose, and neem-based insecticidal sprays are commercially available. Natural pest control is a great non-toxic solution for keeping your garden and home pest-free. The best way to control insects and related pests on indoor plants is through prevention.
It is almost always easier to prevent a pest infestation than to eliminate it once it has already occurred.
