Are Ants and Mites Taking Over Your Territory? How You Can Fight Back - Natural Ginesis

Posted on

Ants on a cup.

We’ve all been there: you spot one ant crawling around your home and instantly know there's a lot more where that came from. Soon, a trail of them appears that grows into a swarm. You can have a tidy home and still suffer from an infestation of ants; all it takes is a misplaced crumb and an ant looking to get out of the rain. The key to stopping an infestation is to quickly cut them off and keep them from returning.

Ants aren’t the only tiny creatures that cause trouble in our homes. Dust mites are another source of misery in a tiny package. Living in soft surfaces around the home such as blankets, carpets, and bedding, dust mites are one of the most common allergens on the planet. Both of these pests cause havoc, and it is common to attempt ridding your home of them without success. Many products advertised to get rid of ants and deter mites are complicated to use, aren’t powerful enough, or are potentially toxic. The kind of pesticide you use should be considered carefully—ants and mites show up in high-traffic areas of the home, especially where there’s food, so you don’t want to use a product that could pose harm to the health of the people or pets in your household. Finding all-natural alternatives that will make you feel comfortable using them around children and pets is easy with Natural Ginesis products.

How to Fight Ants and Mites

What Kills Ants and Keeps Them From Coming Back?

Trying to figure out how to get rid of ants doesn’t have to be complicated. To eliminate ants and mites, enzyme-based products such as Kleen Green break down the protein exoskeleton or outer structure of the insect, leading to their destruction. Compared to standard pesticides, which affect the nervous system in both bugs and humans, natural-based products like Kleen Green are safer since the enzymes won’t impact humans negatively. This is especially important if you have animals or children who may come into contact with the insects or the areas of your home being treated—we all know they tend to get into things they shouldn’t. Kleen Green can be sprayed on areas of the home where the ants are congregating. If you know where the ant mound is located, it can be flooded with concentrated Kleen Green in order to kill the queen ant, who serves as the origin point for all the others. For more dangerous ants like fire ants, this is particularly important. Application of ant killer should target killing the source, since once that is destroyed, the rest of the colony falls apart.

While ants are visible, dust mites are microscopic and prefer to stay in linens, carpeting, clothing, and other textiles. Kleen Green can be sprayed on surfaces that tolerate water-based products and will help kill the allergy-causing insects. It's important to remember that mites will never be completely eliminated; they will always be present to some degree. Instead, population reduction is achieved through regular cleaning of the home, frequent washing of bedding, and reducing cloth surfaces such as shades or upholstered furniture. While an ongoing process, once the mite population is lowered, it is easier to keep it that way through a normal house-cleaning schedule.

When it comes to learning how to prevent ants and mites from returning, using natural deterrents is just as important as elimination. Getting rid of ants is only temporary, especially if there is something in your home that continues to attract them. Products that repel ants will keep new colonies from showing up so that you don’t have to repeat the process all over. Natural Ginesis Mint Spray, which contains just four ingredients, is a natural bug deterrent. The main ingredient is mint, which has a powerful aroma to humans and bugs alike. Whereas most people enjoy (or at least tolerate) the scent of peppermint, ants and mites can’t stand it and will avoid an area treated with the spray. Mint is perfectly safe for humans, so application will not have any adverse effects on you, and it has the added bonus of a great fresh smell.

Similarly, several essential oils are natural insect repellants and can be used to ward off ants and mites. Peppermint, lemongrass, cedarwood, and tea tree oils are all known for their insect-repellent properties. Used correctly, they can be diffused in the home, made into topical applications, or turned into a spray to help keep ants and mites from turning your home into theirs. Ant prevention can also be achieved through regular cleaning of the home with natural products like Kleen Green, which can be used to remove food residue and other attractive scents that would entice the bugs. The added benefit of being able to clean most surfaces and areas of your home with Kleen Green means you don’t have to buy numerous specialty cleaners, which will save you money.

Does Natural Pesticide Work as Well as Chemical Products?

Natural ant killer is as effective as traditional chemical applications when used correctly, without the risk of ingesting something harmful. Most standard ant killers have warning labels on them and require pets and children to be kept away. Since ants and mites infest common areas of the home, being able to use a substance that you don’t have to worry about gives you peace of mind while delivering results. Any sort of pest control will require you to be diligent and will likely need several applications, but if you continue to persevere, you will see your home transform.
