Eradicating pests is easier when their breeding grounds are eliminated. Garbage and waste materials provide a good breeding ground for pests such as cockroaches, ants, flies, mosquitoes, rats, etc. It is a good idea to keep the surroundings of a house clean. Poisoned baits are commonly used for the elimination of rats that have monitored to find safe spots to live and breed inside the house. Traps can also used for this purpose.
Spiders can often be eliminated by getting rid of insects that they love to eat One way of reducing insect problems is by making use of effective lighting outside.
Insect baits can be placed in strategic locations. Make sure that they are far away from the kitchen or where food is kept or eaten, however.
Ants infest the house when they find established food and water sources inside a house. Ants build scent trails which enable them to easily find their way back to the house. Cleaning the house of food crumbs regularly is an effective way to reduce the risk of being overrun by ants. Petroleum jelly smeared close to containers, and pet food prevents the ants from climbing inside, but may be messy.

• Sweep around the outside of the house whenever you can.

Using chemical pesticides to get rid of pests can be potentially dangerous. Most common insecticides use organophosphates, a compound that is used in biological warfare.
