How to kill home insects

Are you irritated by those little insects that constantly appear everywhere in your house? Maybe what started out as a lone bug turned into an infestation. Confronting a bug or infestation can sometimes be scary, but fortunately there are a number of ways you can control and eliminate those pesky insects in your home.


Method 1 Kill the insect by squashing it

1
Locate the insect. Some insects remain in sight and are easy to find, but others, such as cockroaches, are nocturnal and prefer closed areas. If you know what kinds of insects you are trying to eliminate, research their habits to detect where in your home they might be living. The kitchen could be a good place to start your search, as many insects are attracted to the smell of food. [1]

2
Find an object with which to exterminate the bug. Once you have found the insect, you will need a tool with which to hit and kill it. For most insects, a newspaper, a piece of cardboard, a softcover book, or a regular fly swatter will suffice as a tool. Roll or hold it in a way that is comfortable for you. Raise it about 1 foot (30 centimeters) above the insect. Alternatively, if the bug is on the ground, you can squash it with your foot. Make sure you are wearing shoes that preferably have a thick sole.

3
Hit the bug. Get close to the insect and use the newspaper or fly swatter to hit it directly and hard. If you use your foot, aim at the insect and step on it with the middle of your shoe. It is important to move quickly and not hesitate, as many insects, such as flies, are extremely aware of their surroundings and move immediately when they detect a threat. Therefore, it is very important to do it quickly!

4
Clean the remains of the insect. You may want to clean up the remains of the bug after killing it. Using something disposable like a napkin or paper towel to clean up what is left of the bug is a great way to get rid of it for good. Once the debris has been removed, clean the surface where you crushed it using an all-purpose cleaner or bleach product to make sure it is completely clean.


Method 2 Using a spray or powder insecticide

1
Use a commercial insecticide spray. Another effective way to kill an insect on the spot is to use an insecticide spray. Aerosol insecticides, such as Raid, work for many types of insects and are effective in killing most bugs. You can buy these sprays at supermarkets and large drug stores. The sprays can be used to spray directly on the insect or to be applied near crevices, around windows and doors, or at other points of entry through which the insects enter your home. [two]

• To use the spray, hold it about 45 centimeters (1.50 feet) away from the insect and spray it until it weakens or dies.
• Sometimes when you kill tough insects like cockroaches, the spray alone might not be enough. After spraying, the most effective way to kill the bug is to hit it with a heavy, flat object, such as a book, to make sure the job is done.

2
Use essential oils to ward off and avoid insects. Although commercial spray insecticides are very effective, many prefer to use natural products, which are healthier for humans, especially if you spray a large area. Insects such as cockroaches, termites, and ants, among others, reject strong scents and essential oils.

• Tea tree, lavender, and peppermint oils are just a few that have been shown to scare away and even kill insects.
• To make a spray solution for these products, add 6-10 drops of essential oil to a small spray bottle containing 600 milliliters (2 ounces) of water and 600 milliliters (2 ounces) of white vinegar. Mix and spray areas such as kitchens or around windows to fight vermin and insects. [3]

3
Use a natural household pesticide. Natural pesticides are a powerful and safe way to kill insects. Look at the store for a natural pesticide made from orange oil.

• To make a homemade orange oil pesticide, mix about 1 percent orange oil and 95 percent water, or 10 percent orange oil and 90 percent water in a small spray bottle (do not use spray cleaner). Orange).
• Spray the orange oil pesticide directly on the insects or around the area where they live. Orange oil pesticides are extremely effective not only because they kill solitary insects, but because they also kill entire colonies of insects. [4]

4
Use boric acid powder. Boric acid is another natural ingredient, relatively safe for humans, but toxic to insects. You can find it at large drug stores and home improvement stores. To use boric acid powder, sprinkle it around the refrigerator, stove, or anywhere else insects congregate. These will walk through the dust, which they will collect on their legs or bodies and then when grooming or cleaning they will ingest the boric acid, which will kill them. [5]

5
Use diatomaceous earth. Another organic product is food grade diatomaceous earth (uncalcined, meaning not heat treated), a form of absorbent abrasive powder that kills insects by dehydration. Spray this substance around the kitchen and other problem areas in your home.[6]



Method 3 Using an insect trap

1
Use a sticky trap. A sticky trap, also known as a glue trap, is a great way to eliminate insects. Generally, these types of traps contain an odor that attracts insects, which stick to the surface and die. Install the sticky trap in the kitchen or where you have seen the insects, leave it for a few days and check to see if any insects have stuck. [7]

2
Use a vinegar trap. The vinegar trap is especially useful for fruit flies. To make a vinegar trap, pour some white or apple cider vinegar into a bottle (even a small amount will do). With the bottle uncovered, stretch some plastic wrap over the spout of the bottle and secure with an elastic or hair band. Poke holes through the plastic wrap with a toothpick or similar tool. The smell of the vinegar will attract flies, which will enter the holes. The bugs will either drown in the vinegar or they won't be able to get out of the bottle. [8]

3
Use a more specific trap. Stores such as Home Depot and Walmart carry a wide variety of traps, designed to catch all types of insects, from hornets to stink bugs. If you have any insects that you cannot get rid of, take a trip to a large store in your area and select a specially made trap to attract and kill pests in your home.



Method 4 End an infestation

1
Focus on the problem area. Sometimes a bug problem can become more serious than just a few bugs. Insects can literally take over a piece of furniture or an area of ​​your home. In these cases, the most effective thing will be that you focus on that specific area, which is where the insects and their larvae live.

• Carpets can be infested with fleas. If you have a flea problem in your home, vacuum the carpet several times, discarding the vacuum bag outside your home each time. [9]
• Bed bug infestations occur primarily on mattresses. To kill bed bugs, buy a mattress cover specifically made to protect you from bed bugs. You can find these types of protectors in large stores, such as Walmart and Target. Although these protectors are also intended to prevent bed bugs, they isolate them and this will kill them after a while. [10]
• There are several types of insects that attack houseplants that could cause an infestation. There are many preventative measures you can take to prevent this from happening, such as using sterile soil instead of garden soil and removing all dead leaves and stems immediately. If the plants are already infested, the best method of eliminating the insects may depend on the type that is causing it. Identify the insects with a magnifying glass and investigate. Many insects are killed by insecticide sprays so if in doubt, buy and use one to spray your plant. [eleven]

2
Clean your house and your belongings. Once you have treated the area of ​​the infestation, it is important that you also clean the surrounding area and anything else that may have come in contact with it. Although you have likely killed most of the infestation, there may be a few insects left scattered in other nearby areas that could cause another wave of infestation.

• Vacuum the surrounding area that you have already cleaned. This includes the carpet, as well as pillows and other soft objects. After vacuuming, be sure to dispose of the vacuum bag outside your home, as there could be live insects inside.
• Wash and dry your clothes. This is an essential step, since in many occasions some insects, such as bed bugs, spread and live on clothing. To kill bed bugs, wash all of your clothes and make sure to dry each item for at least 30 minutes on high heat. [12]
• Clean your pet. Pets are often the carriers of insects, especially fleas. Combing your pet with a flea comb and washing and drying the litter can remove pests.[13]

3
Use a bug bomb. An insecticide bomb, also known as an automatic fogging or smoke bomb insecticide, works by releasing a cloud of pesticide in a single area. It is recommended that you use this type of treatment only as a last resort, because in addition to being toxic to insects, insecticide bombs can pose risks to human health. Be sure to follow the directions on the product label and only use these types of bug bombs in an area with adequate ventilation. [14]

Tips

• Prevention is the best way to avoid further insect problems. Keeping your home clean is the most important method of preventing insects from invading you in the future. Always clean when you finish your tasks, especially the kitchen, and make sure not to leave food, not even things like sugar, on the counter. Take out the trash and discard the overripe fruit. This will go a long way to making sure you don't have any more problems down the road. [fifteen]
• You don't have to kill the bug. If there only seems to be one bug and you're comfortable doing it, it might be more satisfying to catch it.
• If you've tried some or all of the methods in this article and were unsuccessful, it may be time for you to turn to professional help. There are many services available that specialize in ending insect infestations. If you are feeling overwhelmed and the problem has gotten out of control, it may be best to put the matter in the hands of a professional.

Warnings

• Orange oil is non-toxic for external use but, as is the case with most essential oils, be sure not to ingest it and that it does not come into contact with your eyes. Also, be sure to avoid prolonged exposure to the oil or its fumes by working with adequate ventilation.[16]
• Be aware that even stingless insects (flies, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes) can be vectors of diseases that could cause serious health risks (bacteria, viruses, tick fever, malaria, Lyme disease, sleeping sickness, etc.). Some of these diseases are more prominent in hot or tropical areas. Be aware of the health risks posed by these pests in your home and consult a doctor if you are concerned about your health. [17]
