This month I’m posting information to help you prevent pests from invading your home. The piece provides an overview of the five most common pests found in the home, and offers suggestions to keep them at bay using plants and items found around the house. Of course, if you have an infestation, it’s best to call the exterminator to prevent you from having to make costly repairs.
