You can get rid of fleas by taking several steps as quickly as possible. First, consult your pet’s vet to determine the best flea shampoo or medicine to apply to their coat. In conjunction with treating your furry friend, treat your house by washing all linens, including pet bedding, in warm to hot water with detergent. You should also use a strong vacuum on all floor surfaces, spread diatomaceous earth in flea-prone areas, and consider using commercial baits, traps, and powders.

Luckily, spiders rarely “infest” a home like many other pests. They don’t tend to live in groups except when first born, and prefer their space. But you can prevent them from gaining entry by making sure your home is well-sealed and free of other insects. You can also lay down barrier sprays or powders designed to repel or kill spiders. Professionals can also lay down these barriers to prevent future spider problems.

To kill fruit flies outdoors, you'll want to make a homemade insecticide or find a plant-safe, nontoxic product. Fill a garden sprayer with your chosen solution and apply it on your plants and around the base of your home's exterior. Take care to limit your exposure to insecticides, as they can irritate skin and eyes. Always rinse garden fruits and vegetables before eating them.
