Types of pest with there control

There are many types of pest that you can find in your house, office or even n your dog. Some of the most common pest with their effective control is listed below:

Cockroaches

Cockroaches find grain, flour and other organic matter absolutely irresistible. Storing the grain in airtight containers or in a pit, especially if the grain is covered in gypsum or chalk is a particularly effective solution. The granular material will ruin the cockroaches if they don't suffocate first.
Vinegar, salty fish or an unbaked brick soaked in water are also used to drive the cockroaches. Another cure for roaches is coriander leaves placed on the floor. But they need to be changed everyday. Dried coniza or probably conyse or fleabane put under the grain helps to keep away the cockroaches from grain.

Ants

Ants leap in a garden, house, office and every place where they can see human beings. Put sawdust of oaken planks upon their heap, they will die or depart at the first rain that falls, for the sawdust retains the moisture. Painting bands around ants' nests is also effective remedy. These bands are made of either red earth and tar or oil dregs. Ants are normally attracted towards the dried fish. But as they lick it they are destroyed. Vinegar and ashes mixed with red ochre works effectively over the ants. Burnt cockleshells or a mixture of origano and brimstone if cast upon their hole it will make the ants flee. Other measures include the ubiquitous oil dregs and soot. Or placing chalk can stop them from entering the house.

Bees

Bees are most hazardous airborne pests that could be ever thought of. Fusseballs, a type of mushroom if being set on fire can kill bees faster. However the little bees wont die, as this is effective only outside and smoke cannot actually penetrate the honeycomb. But for effective over the bees of all type large or small is one. Burn the broom by pouring some kerosene on its tip. Take it near the nest of the bees and they will be killed.
