Getting Rid of Pests

Fire Ants:
  • Hot water: pour hot water over the fire ant bed
  • Cayenne Pepper: sprinkle 1/2 cup over ant bed.

Sugar Ants:
  • Double sided tape: put tape along the edge of the countertops, or where sugar ants come in. You can even put a little sugar on the tape. The ants will go for the sugar and stick to the tape.

Roaches:
  • 1/2 cup of Boric Acid and 4 teaspoons of sugar. Put a teaspoon of the mixture in different spots around the home. Change out the mixture every 3 months.

Marian says water attracts roaches. She recommends putting tape over the openings under sinks and keeping items under sinks dry.
Mosquitoes:
  • Mix together 40 drops of Citronella oil mixed with 1/4 cup water. Spray mixture around doors or in the home to keep mosquitoes away.

Flies:
    • Put water in plastic bags and hang from the ceiling or on the wall. Marian says when the flies see their shadow, they leave! `
