No matter where you live, whether in the country or the city, there is nothing more “scary” than seeing a cockroach crawling on the table, an army of ants invading the house or a mouse trying to make a new nest in the closet.
To permanently eliminate the insect problem in our homes, there are a wide variety of products available. However, all of them are true concentrates of chemicals and very harmful to our health.
Below we explain how to eliminate insects from our homes without resorting to these types of products and obtaining practically identical results.
ants
Simply pour some ground coffee on the ants’ entry points, such as doors or windows. Coffee has a repellent action that will keep ants away.
Another effective method is to dissolve 100 grams of sugar in 250 ml of water and then add two tablespoons of borax. Dip a cotton ball in the solution and apply it near the anthill.
fruit flies
They are harmless but very annoying. To remove them, simply wipe the surfaces around the fruit container with a cloth dampened with hot water.
Bedbugs
Flies and ants are annoying, but bed bugs are downright harmful as they can cause skin reactions and itching.
To eliminate them, just put a few bags of turmeric under the mattress or sofa. This spice has antibacterial properties that will keep bed bugs at bay.
