About pest control
Your home should be a haven for your household, so what should you do when pests want to share? Insects and rodents are always unwelcome house guests, but extermination services can be expensive. Visit Instacart to shop for more affordable pest control solutions that help you regain control of your home.
Why pest control matters
When pests infiltrate your home, it's important to get rid of them as soon as you can. These are some of the reasons why:
- A small pest problem can quickly become a larger one as pests breed rapidly.
- Many pests feed on your belongings and home, causing damage.
- Pests can spread disease. For example, house flies can cause dysentery and salmonella poisoning. Rodents can also carry salmonella, leptospirosis, and Weil's disease.
- Pests can contaminate your food with bacteria and feces.
- Living with pests impacts your mental health by raising stress levels and increasing feelings of frustration.
Pest repellents
Pest repellents deter pests from making your property their home. You can use pest repellents to drive pests away. However, they work best before pests appear. Use pest repellents regularly to maintain a pest-free home. Common pest repellents include:
- Electronic devices that send electronic pulses through your wiring to deter rodents, spiders, and mosquitos.
- Electronic devices that emit bug repellent to deter mosquitos.
- Citronella coils and wristbands that deter mosquitos.
- Mothballs with strong odors that keep moths away from clothes.
- Personal insect repellent sprays and lotions that encourage bugs to keep away from you.
Pest traps
Pest traps lure pests, then trap them so they cannot escape. Some traps kill pests on entry while others deprive them of access to food and water. Some humane traps simply immobilize pests so you can release them into the wild. Common pest traps include:
- Sticky glue traps for bugs and rodents.
- Food-based liquid traps that drown insects on entry.
- Rodent traps that strike the rodent and hold them in the trap.
Pest killers
Pest killers kill pests when they consume or expose them. People often lay pest killers around their homes during an infestation. They may also apply pest killers directly whenever they see pests in their homes. Some common pest killers include:
- Bug sprays that kill insects and spiders on impact.
- Insect and rodent baits, which pests eat and often transfer to other pests before they die.
- Fly swatters used to strike and kill flying insects.
