Most do this wrong. 10 ways you’re attracting pests without realizing

Drains can accumulate food particles, grease, and other debris, creating a breeding ground for pests such as drain flies and cockroaches. To keep drains clean, use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to flush them out regularly. This natural solution helps break down organic matter and reduces odors. Additionally, consider using a drain cover to catch larger debris and prevent it from entering the pipes.

Outdoor lighting can attract a variety of insects, especially if the lights emit a warm or bright white glow. To reduce the number of bugs swarming around your home, opt for yellow or sodium vapor lights, which are less attractive to insects. Position lights away from entry points, such as doors and windows, to prevent bugs from finding their way inside. Using motion-activated lights can also help minimize the time lights are on and reduce insect attraction.
