I recommend superantispyware. It will remove Pest Trap. It is very effective and it is free.

Look in moist wood areas for carpenter ants. They are fairly large as far as ants go.

First, you need to remove the source.  The insects you may be referring to tend to lay their eggs in soil--such as the soil in your potted pants.  You need to re-pot any live plants you have in your home.  Also, you need to insure that no food (particularly fruit--peels or whole) is left out in the open or in uncovered garbage cans. It is advisable to scrub any garbage cans you have indoors.  Getting rid of those insects you can presently see is not a big problem--an off the shelf bug spray will take care of that.\n\nIf you take the above measures, you will rid yourself of the nuisance.

Hmmm..lets see..I like handy household hints..\nbay leaves ward off ants from the house,\nsimmering cinnamon in water on the stove is a good house air freshner,\nrubbing alcohol will remove most sticky substances from items,\ncut the rim off aluminum pie plates and use over\n pie crusts rim when baking to prevent it from getting too brown,\nvinegar helps remove coffee stains from coffee pots,\nOkay I'm done..=)

Not specifically a home remedy but a non-toxic, non-pesticide solution to scabies is a product called Kleen Free. It is an enzyme that has been tested and proven to help get rid of scabies.\n\nMost of the creams prescribed by Dr's will have some type of pesticide in them and many people don't want to put pesticides on their body. \n\nKleen Free is a liquid concentrate that is added to the bath, the laundry and used as a spray. Because it is non-toxic, it is safe for repeated use (unlike pesticide creams) and it is safe around children and pets.

To get rid of them in the house, try this:\nGet a shiny foil pie pan and a bright light (like a desk lamp) Put a couple of drops of dish soap in the pan and some water and mix them together - not super sudsy. Put the pan in a dark room (at night is ideal) and shine the lamp right into the center of the pan. \nThose little buggers will be attracted to the shine, jump in, and because of the soap, can't jump out, and will drown.

Try a giant ant dancing &/ playing with a basketball, cockroach cleaning with a broom. U can really be flexible with insects cos  they have 6 legs.

I had this problem myself this winter and this is what actually worked for me!\n\nFIRST, FIGURE OUT THE SOURCE!\n\nI tried putting all of my fruit up, and they still were many of them.  But I noticed one day that a few were hanging around my sinks (kitchen and bathroom).  I poured bleach down each sink and after a few hours, noticed that there were a decrease in them!  (which lead me to believe they were drain flies)  So I took two peoples advice by pouring hot water, more bleach, and then drain-o max gel to eat away all the food or whatever that was in the drains. \n\nSo far there a big decrease in numbers!  (and there were so many I would not let anyone come in my house out of shame)\n\nAlso there is another trick that I am using to get rid of the others since I think I got rid of the source...\n\nGet a jar or a wine bottle.  Pour apple vinger in the bottom and put a paper cone/funnel on top.  They do go in and can't come out =)

The most widely used cleaner in our home is Vinegar. Mix it 1 part vinegar (white not apple cider) to 3 parts water. It will safely clean about anything. If you have a stubborn spot on a hard surface just moisten some baking soda and rub on to the area and scrub.
