Whether you’re a seasoned or newbie gardener, you know that with the arrival of warmer, sunnier spring and summer days comes another, less welcomed intruder: pests. Unfortunately, pests don’t just stay outdoors (if you’ve ever dealt with a sudden influx of ants in your kitchen or—gulp—cockroaches, you know what we’re talking about.) The best way to prevent any uninvited guests? Start prepping now, before the hordes arrive.
For those of you who, like us, prefer an eco-friendly solution over an expensive professional spraying service, it can be difficult to filter through all the available products on the market. Our current favorite? At-home pest control products from Dr. Killigan’s, as safe as they are effective when deployed as directed. Trusted by the Smithsonian Institute (as well as more than 1.5 million customers), Dr. Killigan’s products offer a do-it-yourself solution to combat insects without the dangers associated with traditional pesticides.
Above: Six Feet Under: Indoor Insect Spray, launched in 2018, is one of Dr. Killigan’s longtime best-selling formulas. Safe when used as directed across all home surfaces, it’s a convenient, quick, and eco-friendly solution for the terrifying moment when you realize there’s a cockroach in the tub.
Above: If you’ve ever walked into your kitchen on a sunny morning only to witness a train of ants marching from a perimeter door towards your trash can, you’re familiar with the panic that can set in. Keep calm and spray Six Feet Under: Indoor Insect Spray on any hot spots. The spray kills 50+ insects on contact and residually for up to 30 days, and is safe when used as directed for people, plants, and the planet. A 24oz bottle is $21.97 from Dr. Killigan.
Above: For bigger pest issues, the first line of defense is to secure the perimeter of the home. The newly launched Six Feet Under: Barricade Household Insect Kit is a cost-effective and minimum-risk blend that, when used as directed, creates a powerful invisible barrier around the home that kills, repels, and dissuades crawling insects in their tracks.
Above: The Barricade’s plant-based formula is effective against more than 50 types of insects (including cockroaches, ants, and beetles) for up to 90 days when used as directed. Ensure that you are staying up-to-date with your spraying by signing up for the subscription kit, which ships quarterly, starting at $44.97 for a home under 2,500 sq ft.
Above: Simply spray the minimum-risk formula, made from a proprietary blend of soybean oil and botanical nanotechnology, around the perimeter of your home and garden to protect against common pests. Once in place, the barrier kills and deters crawling insects from entering the home from outside.
