Like humans, pests need three critical elements to survive: food, water, and shelter. Before using pesticides, try these three simple steps to control or kill pests: STARVE THEM OUT! Pests will eat just about anything, but they might leave you alone if they don’t have easy access to food: • Seal up boxes and bags of food. Roaches love cardboard boxes and can climb into these items with ease. • Store open food in plastic bags or containers, such as cereal, flour, or sugar.

The best way to get rid of lime buildup around the faucet it is to lay paper towels over the fixture, soak it with vinegar and let it set for an hour.
