Need a Swat Team? How to Find a Good Exterminator
Most pests can be eliminated without paying a pro. But if you have a problem you can't handle on your own (or don't want to handle), we have advice and ratings for finding the best exterminators.
How to Get Rid of Cockroaches
The best way to avoid and get rid of cucarachas is good sanitation. You can also eliminate access to your kitchen and other likely infestation sites by applying caulk to seal cracks and other entry points.
How to Get Rid of Termites
While an invasion of roaches or other bugs is unpleasant, termites can actually wreck the joint. Fortunately, the damage they cause spreads slowly, and you usually have lots of time to react before they do grave damage.
How to Get Rid of Mice and Rats
Start by eliminating places for them to live and sources of food. Seal off access to food and place garbage in sturdy, tight containers. Close off all openings to your home more than 1/4 inch in size.
How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes
Zillions of products promise to keep mosquitoes away, from wristbands to speakers that emit ultrasonic noise to electronic repellers to aromatic plants. Many of these claims are bogus; some have a little bit of merit.
How to Get Rid of Bedbugs
As they are incredibly resilient and can become resistant to pesticides, bedbugs are notoriously difficult to control.
How to Get Rid of Ants
You can control most household ants fairly easily without paying an exterminator.
How to Get Rid of Fleas
You should be able to control most flea problems without bringing in a pro. If you do hire one, a single visit should do the trick.
How to Get Rid of Pantry Moths
Pantry moths are not dangerous, but they are a nuisance and hard to eliminate.
How to Get Rid of Carpenter Bees
These large bees look alarming, but they are valuable pollinators and pose no threat to humans.
Minimizing Pesticide Risks
Most pests can be controlled by improving sanitation and blocking off access points. If you must use pesticides, read all warning labels and do what you can to minimize risks of exposure.
Do Effective ‘Natural’ Pest Control Remedies Exist?
Subscribers often want the scoop on “green” or “natural” pest control. Many companies claim to practice green or natural pest control. Does such a thing exist? If so, does it work?
