Exploring Essential Oils to Expel Pests

Essential oils are not just valuable additions to your personal care collections. Their productive applications extend far beyond just personal care. The aromatic properties of these oils have a far greater effect than only calming the mind and relaxing the mood. 

Though seeking general pest control services by professionals is the best idea when the infestation is intense, one can resort to essential oils to chase off pests. Rodents, Roaches, Arachnoids, and Ants are not big fans of essential oils. 

Eucalyptus Oil

Eucalyptus oil can be effective as a pest repellent. It helps to chase away mosquitoes, ticks-n-fleas, flies, earwigs, mites, and roaches. For indoor use, combine it with water or other pest repelling essential oils and spray it on infected areas. Add around 10 drops of eucalyptus oil to a half cup of water and make the solution.

Tea Tree Oil

The aroma of this essential oil is very strong and intense. The smell is intolerable to roaches, lizards, spiders, ants, insects, and flies. It is also effective against lice, and parasites. Take 10-15 drops of tea tree essential oil and mix it with a half cup of water. Spray the solutions at areas where you suspect the concentration of pests issues.

Citronella Oil

This oil is popularly used in insect and arachnoid repellent products. It can also help you repel cockroaches, mosquitoes, bugs and ants from your property. Mix this oil (10 drops around) with water or rubbing alcohol to make a solution. Spray it at infested areas. 

Lavender Oil

Lavender essential oil is highly effective, as high as 93%, as a mosquito repellent according to research. Add 15 drops of lavender oil with half a cup of water or rubbing alcohol to make your mosquito repelling solution.

Wrapping up

These oils are not only a good addition to your DIY spray bottle for repelling pests, but also you can apply them to your skin so that pests don’t get to bite you or harm your skin ever.

Australia Being the Most Tempting Bounty for Mice

Australia is a favourite harbourage to an innumerable and diverse range of pests, and reptiles. Poisonous snakes and spiders always need an enhanced expert and specialized level of professional intervention that goes far beyond the scopes of general pest control services. 

Pest controllers are trained to trap, relocate or if necessary eradicate Possums, Insects, Rodents, Cockroaches, common House Spiders etc. 

Pest causes billions of dollars to the continent destroying properties, food, and agriculture and transmitting diseases into the continent. It further adds to the woes by endangering a broad range of native species (encompassing both the flora and fauna world on the continent). 

Rat Plagues

Rat plague strikes the continent once in 7 years (approximately) devastating agriculture and livestock, forcing people to live a miserable life. In certain regions of the continent, it is seen that the plague tends to reoccur and recreate the devastating scenario every four or five years. The abundance of food and easy accessibility to it following a humid summer condition offers perfect breeding grounds for menacing mice. 

Sometimes the damage is in record numbers jeopardizing the ecosystem balance and financial backbone of the entire continent. Infestations at dwellings (both urban and rural areas) render them unlivable.  

Besides ruining all the food sources they could manage to contaminate and damage mercilessly, and marking almost everything with their urine and droppings everywhere, they also proceeded to chewing insulations and wiring. The scenario possibly gave the people one of the most harrowing experiences they could have in living memory. 

Some reports even narrate the scariest stories where mice had bitten patients lying on hospital beds. The damages to food crops only stand near a whopping figure reading AUS1$ Billion. 

Summing up

The infestation endangers the native species and causes colossal calamities. Unintentional poisoning of birds through thoughtless use of pesticides is a growing concern after the plague starts easing. 

There are several consistent pest problems creating utter annoyances to the delicate balance of lives here. Amongst all others the rodents are the culprits behind the maximum massacre here.
