or harmful to your health? All our houses has different kinds of bugs,insect crawling and flying. But I sometimes don't want to use some insecticide, spray, repellant etc. coz I know its very dangerous to our health but letting bugs around the house is not good also. Any suggestion or alternative methods how to get away insects in our home. Thanks...

I am lucky that i do not have many insects in our house ..but i regularly use Morteen or raid in my house . Alos i make sure its clean evry day ..Generally when you go out you can put Raid and when you will come back your job will be done and then leave your house open and let the fresh air come in ..

Ohh really, maybe because you always put Raid in your house. But It's true constant cleaning can drive away insects.Thanks

My father prefer to use Baygon insecticide spray for our home protection. Sometimes I wonder if this could also be harmful to our health. If those insecticides kills insects, why not us? Come to think of it. I hope there would be scientific explanation for this matter. For a suggestion, we better keep our sorrounding clean all the time. Proper hygiene is really important not only for human beings but we also have to keep our environment healthy everyday.

Not much but it is required once a fortnight. I do not have mosquitoes but cockroaches and lizards are found and we clean the house once a fortnight and at that time, I spray these and leave the place for 1 hour or so. They are cleared.

It is healthy for us to get rid of insects and bugs naturally. Killing bugs by hand will increase their population. Catch them and drown them in a bowl of water. The other way is to dry the furnitures and clothes that are infected with bugs in the hot sun. To keep the insects away keep neem balls in the places where normally insects creep in.

I dont think If I saw neem balls here in my place. As I know we have here chalk inecticide that when you write in surfaces the cockroaches and ants will evade the surface and drive away. But flying insects can't get rid of it. Thanks for sharing
