One effective Du`a for protection from insects is: “A`udhu bi Kalimat Allah At-Tammah min Sharri ma Khalaq.” This supplication, taught by the Prophet, is said when staying in a place or in the evening, to safeguard oneself from harm by vermin, insects, and other dangerous creatures.

You may seek protection for your new house from the evil eye and destructive envy by saying this du`a: “U’idhuka bi kalimaat-Allah il-tammah min kulli shaytanin wa hammah wa min kulli ‘aynin lammah.”

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has taught us things in which there is healing and a lessening of sickness such as reading al-Fatihah and making du`a.
