ANTS:- Ants have always been a problem in the house especially in the kitchen. So? I went searching on Google to find myself the best possible solution for this pest without spend too much money. Here’s what I found on thegreenghost website, it looks pretty amazing considering that you can use household materials for controlling ant problem. These ideas are a small bottle with soap solution in the house which you can spray. Cut cucumber in small pieces and put in kitchen or point of entry of ants. Ants are natural aversion to cucumber. Bitter cucumbers work best. A few tea bags of mint tea put near areas where the ants seem most active. Dry, crushed mint leaves or cloves also work as ant deterrents. Light also disturb them so you can also put low voltage bulb in that area where ants are most active. The cracks where ants come there you can also put small pieces of garlic.

Cockroaches’:- Cockroaches are mostly found in kitchen as well as bathroom. To make our house cockroaches free you can use some homemade tips The first idea is put boric acid on top of kitchen cabinets (not inside), if space allows between ceiling and cabinets, the roaches will take the boric acid to their nests, killing all of them. Boric acid is toxic by mouth. Soap solution in the house you can spray. In an empty one pound coffee can, place 1 or 2 pieces of bread which have been soaked thoroughly with beer. Place in areas known to have roach infestations. You can also Leave bay leaves, cucumber slices or garlic in the affected area as deterrents. .

Mosquitoes:- Mosquitoes are mostly found every house. To keep your hose mosquitoes free there are some ideas These ideas are first of all remove standing water sources. Change birdbaths, wading pools and pet's water bowl twice a week. Remove yard items that collect water . An effective natural bug repellent, mix one part garlic juice with 5 parts water in a small spray bottle. Shake well before using. Spray lightly on exposed body parts for an effective repellent lasting up to 5 - 6 hours. Strips of cotton cloth can also be dipped in this mixture and hung in areas, such as patios, as a localized deterrent. The leaves, seeds and seed oil of the Neem tree contain sallanin, a compound which has effective mosquito repelling properties. Neem oil is a natural product and is safe to use. Planting marigolds around your yard works as a natural bug repellent because the flowers give off a fragrance bugs and flying insects do not like.

Flies:-

Flies are mostly come in the hot. To remove these flies from your house you can apply these ides. You can use mint as a fly repellent. Small sachets of crushed mint can be placed around the home to discourage flies. Bay leaves, cloves wrapped in small cheesecloth squares can be hung by open windows or doors. You can also put a small, open container of sweet basil and clover near pet food or any open food in the house.

Silverfish

Silverfish prefer damp, warm conditions such as those found around kitchen and bathroom plumbing. Start by vacuuming the area to remove food particles and insect eggs. Silverfish can be easily trapped in small glass containers. Wrap the outside with tape so they can climb up and fall in. They will be trapped inside because they cannot climb smooth surfaces. Drown them in soapy water. The best preventive control is to remedy the damp conditions.

Eco-friendly products means not harmful to the environment. With the times, being eco friendly has taken on a lot of meanings. In few years ago when we were eco friendly if we just stopped using paper. But now the definition of eco friendly products definitely changed. In more recent times, if we used predominantly natural products, or their derivatives, we were using eco friendly products. However, today, the definition has broadened more. Today, we are eco friendly not just by using eco friendly products, but also by taking care that the environment is not harmed in any way by the way you are using these products.

No doubt the meanings have changed, but the basic till same. We have to be friendly to the ecology. Ecology is a broad biological term that encompasses the various interactions different plants and animals have with each other. Our earth would not have survived if these relations did not exist. Thus ecology becomes the basic supporting system of the planet, whether it is the ecology of the Pacific Ocean. These are all parts that make up the all-important whole.

So that is why we need to go in for eco friendly products today. By doing so, we are using products that are all natural and non synthetic, and those products which are not harmful for our environment . So to keep our environment neat and clean we should use those products that can be recycled. Putting solar panels on the roofs of our houses so that we can save our fuel. Farms houses that are using the power generated from windmills is yet another superb manner in which we are becoming eco friendly.

When the idea of eco friendly comes in our mind we always think eco friendly products are always big and expensive. There are many ways that are at our own level we can do eco friendly. By use eco friendly products we can provide our contribution to the environment. We can use solar cookers for example. We can use only cotton and linen and not those synthetic materials that look flashy but do nothing to protect our environment. We can put our own household mini-bans on using plastic and buy products of friendlier materials such as paper and cardboard. There are many more things which we used in our daily life which are also responsible to pollute our environment. There are many more ways that we can do to be pleasant sounding with the environment. It is all in taking the first step!

The Green Ghost is a blog written to inform readers about small ways and simple ideas that can make a huge difference to our lives and help us all and the planet make it through the next one hundred years.

It is about thinking a little longer before using plastic bags, when a paper or cloth bag is more than good to carry your stuff and cause less damage to the environment. It is about how we can cut down the use of chemicals in our homes and pave way for natural products in our daily household work. Using organic cotton as opposed to ordinary cotton, which is responsible for one third of the world's use of harmful chemicals, or simply switching to organic tea or coffee, which will help reduce the amount of pesticides consumed, are simple ways to start living the 'natural' life. Another easy way can be followed right in your garden or backyard where you can save your peelings, used tea bags, eggshells and coffee grounds for your compost bin. Using natural pest control methods like cucumber slices or garlic to keep away ants or using baking soda in place of brand chemical products for washing bed linen to keep bed bugs away.

There will be useful information and help with going on green holidays rather than a normal holiday (picture yourself lying on the beach or admiring landscapes; seems passé isn't it?) which are safe, sustainable and environment friendly and help cut down on the impact of tourism on local environment and people. Readers will also be apprised about small ways by which they can indulge in recycling waste as much as possible, in day-to-day life.
