Pest Control Repellent - The Natural Approach
By Lisa Hambly
We all hate having to deal with household and garden pests, but I'm sure you would prefer to use a natural pest control repellent. Many commercial repellents have dangerous chemicals in them which can be hazardous to your family and pets' health, and although it isn't fun having an infestation it feels better to be as humane as possible when eradicating the pests.
There are safer approaches you can try. Some store bought pest control repellents promise natural, non-toxic, even organic, ingredients and there are numerous products you can use that you probably have sitting in your own kitchen cupboards and refrigerator.
Here are some of the items you can use that will help eradicate pests but will be safe for you, your children and your pets:
Vinegar: Spray white vinegar anywhere you see or have seen ants and let it dry. Ants also dislike cucumber peel, lemon juice and black pepper, and they will not cross a line of chalk. In fact, with so many ant repellents it's surprising they are such a problem.
Salt: Many pests, including ants, do not like salt, which means it is an excellent natural pest control repellent. It is also good against slugs; simply sprinkle salt around entrance ways to prevent them coming in.
Garlic: You can sprinkle ground-up garlic around entrance ways to your home. It may cause a bit of a whiff but it will keep a variety of bugs out (not to mention the vampires).
Cayenne Pepper and Cinnamon: These are both excellent pest control repellents. Mix either of them with water and used as a barrier at entrances to your home, or spray around areas where pests are often found.
Mint: Very few people realise that mint is an excellent repellent against flies and ants. It can be planted and grown in problem areas or a mint extract can be mixed in water and sprayed where it's needed.
Baking soda and Sugar: When these two baking ingredients are mixed in equal measure they can get rid of cockroaches. Just put it down wherever you have seen them.
Cloves: Cloves work just like moth balls for repelling moths.
Rosemary: Ground rosemary is a good pest control repellent against fleas. You can use it safely on your dog and around your home.
These are just a few ideas for natural pest control repellent, depending on which pests are causing you concern. By utilizing everyday household products you can feel content knowing you do not need to use harsh and sometimes toxic chemicals around your household in order to eradicate any unwanted visitors.

Things to Know About Rats & Pest Control
By: Kelly Hunter
When it comes to dealing with rats, the only thing that you want to know is how you can get rid of them quickly! However, before you run out to your store to start looking for rat pest control, you need to consider a few things. The first thing that you need to make note of is that there are many different types of pest control systems out there. Some of them use poison, and some of them use trap doors. Choosing the right one to fit your needs is not hard, but there are a few factors that we are going to cover today that could affect which one you choose to go with. Today we are going to talk about how to bait rats to go after your traps and also what kind of traps you should think about using.
Before you can think about baiting a rat, you need to come up with a type of rat pest control to use. One way that you can get rid of them is by the way of rat poison. This is something that is not hard to find, and you can pick it up at just about any local store. It comes in a few different forms like rat pellets and in a block form. People do not suggest using rat poison if you have small kids or other animals in the house. If the poison is going to be used in a place where others can not get to it, then you will be fine, Otherwise, a rat trap could be the way to go.
Please note, there are two different kinds of rat traps. There are the ones that kill the rats after they have been baited in, and then there are the ones that keep them in a enclosed box. Some models of enclosed boxes do kill the rat as well, so be sure to read about what the trap does before using it. Also, no matter what form of pest control you choose to go with, you are going to have to dispose of the rat after the trap has done it's work.
After choosing what kind of rat pest control you want to use, you have to come up with a way to bait the rat to the trap. The first tip is to eliminate all other forums of food that the rat can get to. In other words, make sure all food is properly stored. If using food to bait the rat, be sure to place the food about 15 to 50 feet in between pieces. This may seem like a lot, but rats are great at tracking down food. If you use too much bait, then the rat will get full before making it to the trap. Another tip that you can not forget is to never move your trap after placing it. A lot of rats have a fear of moved objects, thus, if you move the trap after the rat has seen it, then it is going to try it's best to stay away from it. That kind of defeats the whole point of setting the trap in the first place.
Follow these few tips and your rat problems will soon be history!
Joke Center "It Ain't Far from Texas "
A man in Topeka, Kansas decided to write a book about churches around the country. He started by flying to San Francisco and worked east from there.
Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued by a sign which read: "$10,000 a minute."
Seeking out the Pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The Pastor explained that the golden phone was, in fact, a direct line to Heaven and if he paid the price he could talk directly to God.
The man thanked the Pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to visit churches in Seattle, San Diego, Chicago, Greensboro, Tampa and all around the United States, he found more phones with the same sign and got the same answer from each Pastor.
Finally, he arrived in Texas. Upon entering a church in Dallas, behold, he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read: "Calls: 35 cents." Fascinated, he asked to talk to the Pastor.
"Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this golden telephone. I have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God, but, in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads 35 cents. Why?"
The Pastor, smiling benignly, replied, "Son, you're in Texas now...
