Natural Control for Roaches, Crickets, Earwigs & Termites in NH

Cockroaches under the sink, crickets chirping in the basement, an earwig in the bathtub — these are New Hampshire's most common indoor calls, and they share a cause more often than a cure: moisture. Reaching for a spray can feels productive, but for most of this group the spray kills what you see while the damp basement, leaky pipe, or food residue that drew them in keeps working in the background.

The natural approach that holds up starts with drying out the conditions these pests need, then adding dry food-grade diatomaceous earth and, for roaches specifically, a slow bait rather than a contact spray. One member of this group gets a different, more direct answer: termites. There is no natural home remedy that reliably stops an active termite colony, and pretending otherwise would undercut the honesty this page is built on — so termites route straight to a licensed inspection. This page grades every method honestly and gives the sourced protocol for the rest.
