(StatePoint) A new survey reveals a pervasive fear of bugs among Americans. This is bad news considering that the average home has more than 100 kinds of bugs living in it.
According to a Proctor & Gamble survey, 71% of Americans suffer from what Zevo calls “bugxiety.” Much more than a mere nuisance, many respondents confessed to extreme reactions and big emotions after a bug sighting.
But you don’t have to live in fear. Here’s your five-part plan for handling insects and achieving a sense of calm:
- For round-the-clock protection, use strategically placed Zevo Flying Insect Traps in the kitchen, garage and areas where doors and windows are open and closed frequently.
- Seal cracks around windows and doors. It’s a cost-effective, DIY project to keep bugs out.
- Wash up after meals. Regularly sweep and vacuum to prevent crumbs.
- Make a thick line of used coffee grinds around your home’s perimeter. Not only will it naturally prevent ant invasions, it’s beneficial mulch for your garden, too.
- Apply Zevo On-Body repellent before heading outdoors for peace of mind and up to 8 hours of protection from mosquitos and ticks.
While bugs are an inevitable part of life, having a plan to handle them at home and while on the go, can help you react with less stress and fear.
