<human>:  How can I best get rid of pests around my house?
<bot>: The best way to get rid of pests around your house is to keep your home clean and tidy. Make sure to vacuum and dust regularly, and do an extra deep cleaning in tight corners and crevices where pests like to live. Use window screens to keep pests from flying indoors. Inspect containers that are prone to pests, like trash cans or compost bins, regularly and take appropriate steps to eliminate them. Be sure to seal openings, such as cracks and crevices, on the exterior of the house to keep pests from entering. Consider using natural repellents to scare off pests, such as essential oils, cayenne powder, or garlic. Finally, contact a pest control professional to eliminate any established pest infestation.
