Pest Control
A nontoxic lifestyle requires knowledge of how to control insects and other pests in and around the home without the use of chemical pesticides.
Since I live in hot, humid Florida, this task has proved incredibly challenging! Roaches, ants, spiders, mosquitoes, flies, fleas and other insects are a problem on a year-round basis.
Hence, I’ve learned over the years a number of ways to handle the situation. I’ve never called a pest control company in over 20 years even with indoor/outdoor pets. We also have an older home that can complicate the situation even further!
There are numerous articles below that go into depth on natural ways for managing specific pests. I hope you find one or more of them helpful.
They provide numerous tips, product suggestions and homemade formulas for managing the situation in a healthy and environmentally friendly manner.
