Insects such as cockroaches, flies and mosquitoes unfortunately often infest our homes. Eliminating them is not just an “aesthetic” necessity, these small and annoying critters can carry quite serious diseases. Their speed of movement, causes them to carry germs and bacteria everywhere, which accumulate on their bodies.
Get Rid of Cockroaches, Flies, and Mosquitoes in 1 Hour with This Effective Mixture!
Let’s see how to make sure you are no longer forced to host them.
Cleanliness first
Insects are attracted to dirt, garbage and food remains are an invitation to them. We therefore try to keep our home as clean as possible. Using, especially for floors, antibacterial products. Let’s not forget to check in hidden corners. Often house cleaning is limited to the visible places, but it is in those we don’t see that dirt accumulates. At least once a month, we thoroughly clean under the kitchen cabinets, if possible we also move the refrigerator. No matter how careful we can be, it is inevitable, that bits of food will get under it. Garbage also needs to be kept under control, let’s get rid of it as soon as we produce it, if it is not possible due to separate collections that force us to dispose of waste on specific days, let’s at least try to keep it away from the house in tightly closed containers.
Finally, when we keep sweets, fruit and candy available above tables or countertops we budget for a cover. Even a tight mesh net will suffice; the insects will still be attracted by the smell but since they cannot access the product they will demobilize.
DIY insecticide
If in spite of all our efforts the insects just don’t want to know about removing the curtains, we have to resort to strong-arm tactics by using an insecticide. There are several types on the market, but they are toxic and, especially if we have children or animals in the house, it is really not a good idea to use them. Let’s create a natural insecticide that is highly effective and absolutely not harmful to those living in the house.We will need half a cup of each of the following:
- vegetable oil,
- mild shampoo,
- white wine vinegar.
All we have to do is mix the three elements inside a spray bottle and spray in the most infested spots. At first we use the product every day, then as the problem begins to recede, we dilute the use over time.
We will finally be able to give the final eviction to cockroaches, flies and mosquitoes!
