The key to organic pest control is to be proactive in preventing problems. Wiping food spills from kitchen surfaces removes potential food sources from foraging ants. Blocking any holes around doorways prevents mice and rats from finding their way into your home.

However, if, despite your best efforts, some intruding species has found its way into your home or garden there may be a number of steps you can take before resorting to chemical warfare. This guide provides quick tips on preventative and curative measures that will help keep your home chemical-free.
