Imagine attempting to keep pests out of your home hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago. There was no bug guy to contact and say, “We have a spider problem, please come fix it right immediately.”

People were obliged to devise various methods to either deter insects and rodents from entering the house or to rapidly destroy them once they had gained entry.

Domestic cats were thought to be an ideal remedy to rat issues in Egypt four thousand years ago. Domestic cats were extremely effective in eradicating rodents that lingered inside homes.

• Chinese are indeed smart people, don’t you think?

Due to the destruction of numerous crops by foliage-eating insects, the Chinese would construct predaceous ant colonies. The ants’ nests would be placed in trees, where the ants would feed on the foliage and eat insects.

Bamboo bridges were built to aid the ants’ travel from one tree to the next. Predaceous ants have also become popular among date growers in Yemen and North Africa. These ants were extremely effective at protecting crops from insects that may have harmed the local food supply.
