Modern pest control methods rely on high concentration chemicals to eliminate pests. These chemicals are a sure-fire remedy to get rid of annoying pests. However, they are not free of harmful side effects. In view of their injurious potential, alternative methods of controlling pest populations have emerged. One of these is using tobacco from cigarettes and pipes to stem pest populations. Tobacco is a natural pest killer. It is easily available and when used in right proportions will eradicate pests. It is pertinent to recall that tobacco as pest control is a time-honored remedy and predates the use of modern pesticides.

Easy mix of tobacco and water

Tobacco should either be sourced from cigarettes, pipes or bought in bulk. Simply dissolve handfuls of the tobacco in warm water. Allow this tobacco and water mix to stand for a minimum 24-hour period. Then add the resultant concoction to a spray bottle. And squirt away at pesky pests. You will quite surprised at the efficacy of this simple remedy. Tobacco and water is a natural pest zapper. In modern pesticide usage terminology, it is a broad-spectrum natural pesticide. That means this organic alternative assures a high mortality rate for a wide variety of parasites and predators. It is also a highly practical and a low cost alternative that can be adopted by anyone with a pest problem. A word of caution: though the tobacco and water mix may appear relatively harmless, it is prudent to remember that nicotine is highly toxic, therefore poisonous for human beings. Use extra precaution while handling this tobacco in water concentration.

This tobacco and water natural pesticide is extremely effective in controlling ant, roach, aphids and termite populations. Simply spray the solution directly on the pests or wisely spread it in the cracks and grooves that they shelter in. Tobacco and water is a good controller of indoor infestations from a variety of pests. Again, tobacco is easily obtainable, is relatively affordable and best of all, is biologically degradable. To succinctly summarize, tobacco and water is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way of getting rid of pests.
