Insect Removal Tips

Insects are an established part of our environment but they can also become a nuisance when they invade our homes or outdoor spaces. Whether it’s flies, mosquitoes, ants or other insect types, there are several effective ways that we at SLE Environmental can remove them for you.

However, before it gets to the stage of hiring experts like ourselves, there are a few pointers that you should be aware of. Check out our tips for effective insect removal below:

Keep Your Environment Clean: One of the best ways to prevent insects from invading your space is to keep it clean. Make sure you dispose of your rubbish properly, wipe down surfaces and tables after meals and vacuum regularly. Insects are attracted to food and other debris, so keeping your space clean can go a long way in preventing infestations.

Use Natural Repellents: There are several natural insect repellents that you can use to keep insects at bay. For example, peppermint oil is a natural ant repellent and citronella oil is a natural mosquito repellent. You can also use plants like basil, lavender and lemon balm to repel insects.

Use Insect Traps: Insect traps are a great way to capture and remove insects from your space. You can purchase traps for specific types of insects, such as fly and ant traps. You can also make your own using a range of household items. For example, a mixture of sugar, water and dish soap can be used to make a homemade fly trap.

Seal Your Home: Insects can enter your home through small cracks and openings. Make sure you seal any openings around windows, doors and pipes to prevent insects from entering. You can use weatherstripping or caulk to seal cracks and holes.

Hire A Professional: If your insect infestation is too severe to deal with yourself, it may be best to hire a professional like us at SLE Environmental. Our team uses various methods to remove the insects from your space, giving you back control of your property.
