It’s basically the time of the year where you start seeing those creepy crawlers if you haven’t already.

Fortunately, you can always rely upon some eco-friendly solutions for cleaning your space or choose professional pest control services in Chennai as we employ the best eco-friendly equipment and tools so that you don’t have to worry about clean surroundings. Instead of opting for toxic pesticides and harmful chemicals to get rid of pests, make use of these easy and simple eco-friendly tips for the safety of your loved ones.
1. Try to do companion planting
Are you aware of symbiosis? It’s a simple process of planting two or more plants nearby to each other so that you can reap the benefits of their growth by repelling insects and attracting natural predators. Basil, thyme and rosemary are ideal for attracting ground beetles. Similarly, ground beetles eat other beetles, hornworms and corn earworms. You can learn about symbiotic relationships by researching over the internet and understanding which one works out the best for you.
2. Make use of spices and strong scents
To repel garden pests, you can use garlic and chilli powder and keep them away from destroying your yard. All you need to do is put a 4-5 garlic clove in water and place it inside a container. Then keep it in the middle of your garden and soon you will have a pest-free garden. Alternatively, mix a tablespoon of chilli powder with water and pour it around your plants to prevent pests from harming them. Other options include coffee grounds, cinnamon, vinegar and lemon juice as it prevents ants from finding their way into your home.
3. Use insecticidal soaps and neem oil
Neem oil and insecticides are natural products available in stores. For creating a good repellent, all you need to do is mix 3-4 tablespoons with lukewarm water and spray it on the leaves of the plant. Remember to spray on the underside too because aphids, spiders and whiteflies are extremely good at hiding themselves. Make sure to repeat the procedure every week at least once or twice.
3. Use food waste to repel pests
Orange peels, coffee grounds and cucumber peels are food waste that can be used to repel pests. In addition to using orange, lemon and lime peel to create a citrus cleaning spray, these peels can be cut up and added directly to your garden to help fertilize your plants and act as a natural insecticide. Citrus peels can also be placed on counters and window sills to keep pests away. The leftover onion should be chopped up, added to water and placed out in the open to naturally repel mosquitoes.
4. Invest In beneficial bugs
You might have heard of parasitic nematodes that eat larvae. They are effective in eating 200 species of insects but don’t harm any other parts of plants. Praying mantids are also ideal for eating moths, mosquitoes, roaches, flies, and aphids. Similarly, ladybugs eat up a lot of mites but supply them with a constant source of pollen and nectar in order to prevent them from flying away from your garden.
