Q: What is the best treatment for termites?

• <div><p>The best termite treatment depends on your infestation, home, and budget. But, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), soil-applied barrier treatments, such as liquid termiticides, are among the most common termite treatments. The other common treatment type is termite baits. Termite baits are placed in the soil around your home every 10 feet and monitored regularly to ensure your home is safe from future termite contaminations. Work with a termite professional to determine the best treatment for your situation.</p></div>

Q: What is the best natural roach repellent?

• <div><p>The most effective natural roach repellent is Borax with its key ingredient of boric acid and diatomaceous earth. But some homeowners may not feel like these are &ldquo;natural&rdquo; enough, especially since you can&rsquo;t use Borax around curious pets or toddlers.</p><p>On the other hand, studies have shown that oregano oil mixtures have some of the best repellent effects, and other research indicates that catnip oil, peppermint oil, and citrus oils have notable effects on keeping roaches away. Rosemary oil has been shown to be the most effective natural oil for killing cockroaches outright.</p></div>

Q: What scents will keep foxes away?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s little scientific evidence to suggest that <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homemade-remedies-ward-wildlife.htm">homemade remedies to ward off wildlife</a> are effective. But, often, when using them alongside other management techniques, it won&rsquo;t do any harm to try. Suggestions include using urine-soaked kitty litter or sweat-soaked clothing items. Try applying them around your fence perimeters. Always read the instructions carefully for any commercially-bought repellents and opt for EPA-approved products. Multiple applications, especially after rain, are often necessary.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep deer from eating my trees?

• <div><p>To keep deer from eating your trees, you can either put up barriers or install a deer repellant. Barriers that protect trees from deer include tree wrap or fencing. You can also plant deer-resistant trees to prevent deer from eating or scraping against your trees or garden with plants that deer don&rsquo;t like to be around.</p></div>

Q: Can you starve bed bugs to death?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not fast, but you can tightly seal items and store them away for at least a few months, preferably an entire year. Bed bugs can&rsquo;t survive that long without eating. However, this method takes significantly longer than other common eradication methods like heat treatments, steaming, or fumigation, so it&rsquo;s not a first choice for homeowners.</p></div>

The most effective natural roach repellent is Borax with its key ingredient of boric acid and diatomaceous earth. But some homeowners may not feel like these are “natural” enough, especially since you can’t use Borax around curious pets or toddlers.

On the other hand, studies have shown that oregano oil mixtures have some of the best repellent effects, and other research indicates that catnip oil, peppermint oil, and citrus oils have notable effects on keeping roaches away. Rosemary oil has been shown to be the most effective natural oil for killing cockroaches outright.
