What is HomeBugShield?

HomeBugShield is your no-nonsense DIY pest control resource. We help you get rid of ants, roaches, mice, bed bugs, and other uninvited guests using step-by-step guides, natural tricks, and a bit of common sense. No nonsense, no exterminator bills, no flamethrowers required.

Is this content written by experts?

We’re not pest control pros—we’re homeowners who’ve fought bugs and lived to write about it. Our guides are based on real research, real feedback, and real test runs (some involving socks and a broom). We aim for clarity, honesty, and results you can actually pull off.

Do I need to accept cookies to use the site?

Yes. Not the chocolate chip kind—digital ones. Since we’re ad-supported, you’ll need to accept cookies to see full content. If you're privacy-focused, we’ve got a no-tracking option below.

Can I use your site without ads or tracking?

Absolutely. For $29.99, we’ll email you a clean, ad-free PDF bundle with three guides on your chosen pest (e.g. “Ants in Kitchen”). No tracking. No scripts. Just pest control in peace. Email us at [email protected].

📘 About the Content

Are your tips safe for pets and kids?

Usually, yes—and we’ll always say so when they are. Most methods use non-toxic, natural ingredients, but always double-check. And if your toddler thinks a roach trap is a snack... call the pediatrician, not us.

Do you recommend specific products?

Sometimes. If a trap or spray genuinely helps, we’ll mention it. No sponsorships, no hidden agendas—just links to stuff that passed our "does this actually work?" test.

How often is your content updated?

We revisit major guides at least once per year and update others as needed (like when someone tells us a better way to outsmart a mouse using peanut butter and a spoon).

💬 Contact & Support

How can I contact you?

Questions, requests, feedback, or a random bug photo at 2 AM? Send it to [email protected]. A real human will read it. Possibly barefoot, definitely bug-aware.

Can I request a specific article or pest topic?

Please do! We want your weird, specific, backyard-battle requests. If you’ve got a pest problem we haven’t covered, we’ll research it, test it, and write about it (sometimes with bite marks).
