Get rid of bugs for good with these 15 hacks

💡 11. Turn Off Unnecessary Lights at Night

Outdoor lighting can attract flying insects. Turn off lights you don’t need, or switch to yellow bug lights to reduce their attractiveness.

🪤 12. Use Diatomaceous Earth

This natural powder (available at hardware or garden stores) is deadly to insects but safe for humans and pets. Sprinkle around the edges of your rooms, especially near baseboards and under appliances.

🧺 13. Empty Trash Cans Frequently

Rotting food is a magnet for bugs. Take out the trash regularly, and rinse your bin with bleach or vinegar to kill odors and bacteria that attract pests.

🧊 14. Freeze Pantry Items

To kill any hidden larvae or eggs in flour, rice, or pasta, store new dry goods in the freezer for 48 hours before putting them in your pantry.

🌬️ 15. Use a Fan to Keep Mosquitoes Away

Mosquitoes are weak fliers. If you’re sitting outside, set up a fan to create a breeze—it’ll make it harder for them to land and bite.

🧠 Final Thoughts

You don’t need to rely on toxic chemicals or call an exterminator every time a bug shows up. With a few smart habits and natural repellents, you can create a home environment that’s uninviting to pests—but welcoming to you and your family.

Whether you’re battling a current infestation or want to prevent one from happening, these 15 hacks can help you get rid of bugs for good—and keep your space clean, safe, and peaceful.
