Bugs can be a real pain. They usually appear after outside plants are brought inside for the winter, or when a new houseplant is brought home.

To remove bugs in houseplants, press a clove of garlic into the plant's soil. If the garlic sprouts and grows, simply are sufficient back.

Spider termites are apt to thrive in warm, dry homes.

Routine misting under the leaves of houseplants will prevent them.

Service of 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup buttermilk, and a gallon of cool water, applied in a mist, is a great organic deterrent.

Small flies might in some cases appear around houseplants.

These are called fungis gnats and are harmless to plants (and humans) in their adult kind, though their larvae can harm young roots.
