Household pests such as rats, bed bugs, and cockroaches can cause serious problems. They damage property, contaminate food, and may spread disease.
While professional pest control is often the most effective solution for severe infestations, there are also several home methods that may help reduce or repel pests. Below are some commonly used home remedies and preventive measures.
