Overview

Just because a pest finds its way into your home or garden doesn't mean you have to become long-term roommates. There are many DIY solutions for deterring or getting rid of unwelcome critters, and we’d like you to share yours in the Pest Control Challenge.

One winner will get an iPad Air, and 25 runners-up will take home an Instructables prize pack. We hope to see your methods for eliminating all kinds of pests, from gophers and deer to termites and mosquitos. No one likes a critter!
