Seal all of the cracks that are in your home to control pests. Many times, these places serve as an entrance for all of the pests that want to make your place their new home. They will be locked out tight if you seal up these small openings.
If you have problems with moles in your yard, set up a trap. You will know a mole is present by the raised portion of your yard that's been tunneled under. Use a shovel to collapse a section of the tunnel (approx. 4"). Set up a mole trap over the collapsed portion and wait for the mole to tunnel through and try to fix the collapse.

When you're overrun by cockroaches, place Borax powder around your home, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. If you have pets or children, this may not be the best solution as they can get into this poison as well. This trick can be used for other pests as well, like ants.

Follow the instructions on pesticides carefully and thoroughly. If you use them incorrectly, you may not get your desired results.
