As winter ends and spring begins, flies and mosquitoes start appearing, disturbing the peace of the season. These annoying intruders not only ruin time spent outside but also bring health risks by spreading diseases such as yellow fever, dengue, and malaria. Luckily, there is a powerful natural solution to keep them away.
Ways to prevent something from happening.
It is very important to seal your home against these intruders. Make sure windows, doors, and any small openings are tightly closed. Mosquito nets that can be easily taken off provide extra protection without requiring a professional to install them. Keeping things clean is very important. Get rid of any uncovered food or trash because they attract pests.
There are many insect-killing products available, but we should think about the possible dangers they may have for our health and the environment. So, using natural treatments is a safer option that works just as well.
Repellents from Nature:
Using essential oils like lavender, citronella, and eucalyptus is a good way to keep mosquitoes away. Moreover, growing plants like geranium, basil, or mint can help keep flies and mosquitoes away from your area.
Homemade Spray to Keep Mosquitoes and Flies Away:
To make a natural repellent that keeps ants away, collect these ingredients:
2 tablespoons of cloves
2 leaves from the bay tree ½ cup of clear vinegar
1 cup of water
Directions:
Cook the ingredients: Put water, cloves, and bay leaves together in a pot. Heat until boiling and then let it cook gently for 10 minutes to add the insect-repelling effects of cloves (which contain eugenol) and bay leaves to the water.
Cool and Filter: Let the mix cool down before filtering to get rid of any solid pieces.
Include vinegar. Add white vinegar to the cooled mixture. Vinegar makes repellent stronger and increases its effectiveness.
Prepared for immediate use. Put the final mixture into a spray bottle. This multi-purpose repellent can be used to clean surfaces or sprayed in areas where pests are likely to appear, like dining tables, floors, or near windows.
This natural mix uses the strong qualities of cloves and bay leaves to protect your home from flies, mosquitoes, and ants without using harsh chemicals. It is an easy and efficient way to welcome the different seasons without having unwanted insects around.
