A few tips or guidelines given below would control pest and keep your kitchen clean and healthy:

You can also try some natural or organic pesticides and alternate methodology to make your kitchen devoid of particular pests:

  • Like you could use Basil leaves for avoiding fruit flies by placing them in bowl near the kitchen window. The smell of Basil leaves would keep the flies at bay and keeps the kitchen smelling fresh.
  • To ward off Ants, you could sprinkle ground coffee powder all around the kitchen and at the entry points. You could also use essential oils like peppermint or citronella to wipe the kitchen counters and kitchen floor. Ants dislike the smell of these strong smelling oils.
  • To keep away the wood pests and silverfish from your kitchen area, keep or hang some sachets of bay leaves and cinnamon sticks in the cupboards or in the corners of the cabinets.
  • Spraying the mixture of soapy water and essential lemon or orange oils in the kitchen corners and any cracks or space due to cabinet insertion can ward off the spiders from burrowing in.
  • Eucalyptus oil diluted with water can keep the flies and bugs away from your kitchen.
  • Keeping the kitchen counters clean, free of moisture and environment friendly can keep your kitchen free from pests. Keeping the corners dirt free would hinder the growth of cockroaches and rodents as they hide in the dirty corners, breed and multiply fast.
  • Ensure your kitchen gets enough sunlight as natural sunlight helps to keep the kitchen germ free.
  • Do not keep the unused food and spices for too long as they can be the cause of harmful bacteria’s. Devoid the kitchen floor, counters and kitchen table from any food morsels as it can spread a foul smell and cause spread of bacterial infection.
  • Keep the garbage bins sealed and remove the garbage daily basis as garbage is a great source for any rodents, germs, cockroaches, bacteria’s and fungal infections to grow and rummage the kitchen space.
  • Clean your kitchen slabs, sinks and floors frequently as a clean kitchen keeps the pests away.
  • Make sure that no food is left uncovered after cooking and all the food to be stored in airtight containers as the food left open can attract germs, mites and roaches.
  • Ensure to clean your kitchen fridge, cupboards and drawers every fortnightly to ensure that your kitchen is clean not only from outside but is also sparkling from inside.
  • Last not the least ensure a deep cleaning of the entire kitchen every month so that if there’s anything which you could not keep a track of or went unnoticed also gets cleaned timely.
  • Following this alternate methodology you could prevent the pests and germs to enter your kitchen but if this methodology still does not work then seek the help of a professional licensed pest control operator. Ensure you use the pesticide only after you have emptied the whole kitchen and ensure the pesticide is used more on the drains and entry points like doors and windows. After the required hours of the pesticide spray ensure that you clean and air out the kitchen thoroughly so that no trace of the harmful chemical remains in the kitchen.

One of the user-focused solutions of Ernestomeda kitchens is the creation of the “AIR” door of the Icon project by Giuseppe Bavuso; which is a patented solution that involves a conceptual thought of the conventional kitchen storage unit: the door is equipped with a ventilation filter concealed in the panel. This aids exchange of the air trapped inside, ensuring optimal food conservation. The installation of the ventilation filter in the concealed side and holes in the inner door panel ensures that the air entering the interior will be cleaner. Infact, the door performs even better close to heat sources (such as an oven) or close to zones with variations in air pressure (like the hood), because it increases the air exchange inside the unit. The perimeter seal provides airtight door closure, keeping dust and dirt out.The air filtration system in its kitchen design keeps the foul smell at bay a thus keeping the kitchen smelling fresh at all times. Not only this, Ernestomeda kitchens comply with the LEED prerequisite for indoor pollution
