Pest Control.

I'm in war with ants recently. They have been bugging my kitchen and dining table most of the times. They are also leaving behind their crumbs for me to clean. And their so tiny I cannot even see them. I'm a mosquito magnet and now that dengue fever is on the rise, that is something I would not want to catch nor my kids. Since we live in a one-storey house, I sometimes hear grumbles and rumbles of cats and rats on our roof. They are making my roof cats and rats crossing . To stop this all, I decided to call the pest control. It is a yearly thing for us actually but last year, it slipped my mind. Now, my house is quiet as a library. But now my head is aching.

Ants attack anything sweet. We keep everything that is sweet on a water moat. And as for mosquitoes we have the 'Good Night' and use the mosquitoe creamj. No rats at the moment. Problem solved (lol)

vinegar confuses them and ruins their trails. You could try some of that. I feel your pain..every summer there is some insect group that wants to make their home here.

I think it is time for me to bring in a pest control service pretty soon as well. If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you end up paying for yours?

Mix half and half baking soda and powder sugar to get rid of ants. Vinegar also works.
