So, how can you rid your residence of pests or keep them at bay? So despite mercury vapour lights being more energy efficient, replacing them with high-pressure sodium vapour or halogen lights, as well as using bulbs with yellowish or orange tinges, deters night-time flying pests. Trash cans should have tight-fitting covers and should be cleaned regularly to remove spills and food residues that might attract pests. Finally, ensure that whatever you bring to your house is clean since bedbugs can be transported by, say a bag or carton you use to carry things home. The cleaner the home, the less likely it is to attract bugs.
