How do you control infestation on bugs at home?

It depends on what kinds of bugs you are talking about. Different bugs react to different things. Spraying an area with a vinegar can keep ants away for some time. If you shop at Costco you can get a ridiculously huge bottle of vinegar for just a couple bucks. Boric Acid (the stuff in Borax hand soap, but concentrated, and available at hardware stores in the pest control section) is actually less poisonous than table salt but can get rid of ants, roaches, fleas, and other pesky pests. Just using it by itself, it is repellent. The bug will stay away from it but not be poisoned by it. Better is to mix it with maple syrup. Too strong and they'll still just stay away, too weak and they won't be killed by it. But if you get it just right they'll carry it away to their colonies and the entire colony will die in a matter of days. (Ants will feed it to their queen, and when she dies they will go away, roaches will just share it amongst themselves.) If fleas are your problem, just leave it in powder form and sprinkle it sparingly on your carpets. A spray bottle of hand soap and water makes an effective ant killer, though it will just get the ones you see - they won't carry it home with them because they'll be dead from it. m
