 Pests can be detrimental to your home; from eating foodstuffs to causing structural damages to homes.
 They even damage items such as home furniture, and so on. Others carry diseases and fleas; some pests carry rabies and can thus easily infect your pets.
 Some of the common pests you are likely to find in most UK homes include; flies bed bugs, ants, wasps, termites, rats, and even cockroaches.

The good news is that there are some natural ways of getting rid of pests in your home. These include;

1. Using traps;

Rats are every homeowner’s worst nightmare. They feast on food leftovers; they damage clothes and books. Plus, they are plainly filthy little creatures that should never be left to thrive in our homes. You should get rid of them as soon as possible. If you are suffering from a rat infestation, consider using traps to eliminate them in your home. You can use visual lures or even food to attract and later capture them. You do not have to hurt other animals in your home when you are doing this exercise; thus, you just must position your trap where you know rats normally pass or like staying.

You can also use traps to capture other pests like garden hedgehogs, moles, and so on.

2. Consider using beneficial animals;

Did you know that some animals can help reduce pests in your home naturally? You just need to know some of the beneficial insects that can help you achieve this objective. These insects will prey on the pests that are present in your home and eventually help to reduce them. In this case, you need to attract them to your home and then provide them with water, food and even shelter. A healthy habitat can help them to survive and thereby enable you to get rid of some pests in your home. For instance, domesticated stoats have been known to be very effective in hunting down and killing rats and bunnies that destroy crops in your garden

3. Use cinnamon.

Ants are very common especially if you live in a wooden house or cabin. It is important to note that these pests normally come inside when the weather is very hot outside. Ants are hard to vanquish and when they invade timber, they never leave until they have consumed most of it.
But don’t worry. Just sprinkle cinnamon around the kitchen to keep these pests at bay. Most experts agree that sprinkling cinnamon around their point of entry can help prevent ants from accessing your home.

4. Use vinegar.

Vinegar has many uses; it is often used as a cleaning solution. However, it can also be used to keep pests away from your home. Sometimes, you might discover that there are many spiders in your home with cobwebs in every corner and dark place. Spiders can bite especially when accidentally provoked. Plus, their webs are not a very good sight in any home. Try using vinegar to get rid of these creatures. White vinegar has proved to be very effective time and again. This is because it contains acetic acid that kills spiders. You should dilute white vinegar with water and then spray it where spiders have nested in your home. You can spray this solution on cracks and other affected places in your home. This helps prevent spiders from entering your home. This has worked well for many homeowners in the past.

5. Use boric acid and powdered sugar.

Cockroaches multiply very fast and like hiding in dark corners and cracks. You are likely to find them in your home if you normally leave uncovered food remains in your house. This is the reason why you should clean your home often. Consider using powdered sugar to lure them and then use boric acid to kill them. Boric acid actually irritates cockroaches, and this can help to get rid of them quite fast.

You can sprinkle this powder on places where cockroaches like hiding in your home. This is a good way of eliminating roaches and other unwanted bugs in your home.
