Flies and mosquitoes are the true spoilsports of summer.
With the windows open, they enter our homes and to get rid of their cumbersome presence, we often resort to insecticides that are quite toxic for us and the planet.
Not only that, during summer nights, they make outdoor life impossible: eating or enjoying a bit of freshness in peace seems a feat only possible as long as we spray ourselves with anti-puncture spray, let’s light up zampironi! Nature, in this case, almost seems like a stepmother.
