Whether they're in your carpet, in your cupboards, on your kitchen benchtops, or around your patio and BBQ areas, your home is likely to be infested with tiny insects/pests.
Regrettably, they are frequently the unseen intruders.
We'll go over a few natural strategies you can employ to keep these intruders at bay in this section.
Mosquitoes are attracted to water. Any source of water must be eliminated or minimized. Mosquitos are drawn to water sources such as pet water bowls, birdbaths, and small wading pools. If they are unable to be eliminated, the water should be changed at least twice a week.
Throw some Sage or Rosemary over the fire the next time you have a BBQ to help repel mosquitos.
Mosquitos can be repelled by placing Citronella beeswax and soy candles low to the ground on your deck where there is little airflow.
One part garlic juice to five parts water is an efficient repellant. Dip strips of cotton fabric in the mixture and use them as a localized repellent in locations like your patio or porch.
Marigold plants are also used as a natural bug repellent since the flowers emit an odor that bugs and flying insects dislike.
Thai Lemon Grass is an insect repellent that contains natural citronella oils. Simply bend the stem between your fingers to release the juice, then apply it all over your skin. Mosquitos will be deterred by planting this around your porch or patio area.
Mint works well as an insect repellant. To deter flies, place crushed mint in little sachets throughout the house.
Flies are deterred by keeping a tiny amount of sweet basil and clover in a container surrounding any open food.
Flies will be deterred by a few drops of eucalyptus oil on an absorbent cloth. Leaving the cloth in areas where flies are a problem is a fantastic idea.
Bay leaves, cloves, and eucalyptus can be hung from open windows and doors wrapped in a tiny cheesecloth.
Moths are naturally repelled by dried lemon peels. Toss them in a clothes chest or wrap them in a cheese cloth and hang them in your closet.
To make your own moth repelling sachets, combine bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, cloves, eucalyptus leaves, lavender, pepper corns, and wormwood in sachets.
An absorbent towel soaked in aromatic cedar chips or cedar oil works well as a moth deterrent.
