When it comes to garden pests, you can go with a chemical pesticide or you can go the organic route. Chemical pesticides come in spray and powder form. If you are growing vegetables, you might want to go organic. The last thing you want are traces of dangerous chemicals in your produce. You can buy organic pest control products in stores and online, or you can make your own blend. For example, a blend of pungent herbs steeped in vinegar and sprayed on plants can deter all kinds of garden pests. Tags: Pest Control Problem

Tips for Mole Pest Control

Another idea for mole pest control is to use a sonic mole repellant. There are battery operated sonic mole repellant devices that work by emitting a frequency that is very uncomfortable to the mole. These creatures cannot stand the sonic frequency and will usually make their home somewhere else. This is one of the most humane methods of getting rid of a mole infestation. You can purchase sonic pest repellant devices most anywhere that sells other pest control products. Tags: Mole Pest Control

Because these devices work with no discernable sound to human ears, you don't even know they're working.

You might wonder if these ultrasonic devices are safe for pets like dogs, cats and hamsters. Fortunately, they are designed not to bother housepets, only pests. The frequency is designed not to be uncomfortable for pets. Therefore, you can use a sonic device with confidence even if you have pets in the house. A pet mouse, however, may be a different story!

Then there are no-kill traps, for people who want the most humane method of catching mice. I used to work at a factory that made and packaged cakes and pies, and they had hundreds of no-kill traps situated around the building.

Then, you can simply take the traps out into the country or woods and release the mice. There are no-kill traps in different sizes, for small pests like mice and larger pests like groundhogs and rats. Tags: Pest Control Supply

You may want to lure the pests out into the open with food. Rats and squirrels are two examples of pests who respond well to food lures. Nuts are ideal for squirrels, while rats will eat most anything. For example, at my local park there is a bit of a problem with rats.

For example, if you have mice, there are several ways to go. You can use the traditional mousetraps which are baited and snap closed when the mouse touches the trap to get the food. However, some people feel these traps are gruesome and inhumane. Glue traps are another alternative, as they simply trap the mouse with a sticky substance. An even more humane approach are the no-kill traps. These traps lure the mouse inside a special box then close after the mouse is inside, trapping it. You then take the trap away from your home and release the mouse. Another part of getting rid of mice is to close off their entry point. You need to find out where they are coming in and blo...
