Home Remedies
Termite control
Petroleum Jelly
Petroleum jelly contains phenol. Rub petroleum jelly on the dried wooden furniture. Leave it for a day or two and afterwards use a soft cloth to polish your fixtures.
Cockroach control
Boric acid bait
This is a natively constructed trap to execute the cockroaches. Blend one part of powdered boric acid with one part of sugar and one part of white flour and make dough batter utilizing it. Put little batter balls in different ranges at home where cockroaches visit much of the time to dispose of the cockroaches. The flour and the sugar in this mixture will pull out cockroaches and the boric acid in the batter will kill the insects.
Bed-bug control
Baking Soda
