Mrs. Fastidious series presents how to get rid of common household bugs
Today, I’m introducing simple ways to get rid of annoying bugs with items commonly found in your house. These tips will be useful especially for families with young children.
- Eucalyptus oil is an effective mosquito repellent and does not have any side effects on the human body. Since mosquitos can spread several diseases, you really want to keep them away from you.
- Vinegar can be used as ant pesticide. Just spray it on ant nest to completely get rid of them.
- Cinnamon powder can effectively repel bugs. Just sprinkle the powder around corners in the house or front yard. Its scent will keep bugs away from your house.
- Baby powder is an effective bee and wasp repellent. Sprinkling baby powder around the house will help keep bees and wasps away from your house.
- Chalk is another item that can be used to keep ants away from your house. Draw a line with chalk. Ants will not cross that line into your house.
- Cucumber can repel cockroaches. Place sliced cucumber in areas where you often spot the bug such as kitchens or back yards. The scent of cucumber will keep the cockroaches away. Now, you no longer need chemical pesticides.
- Onion can be used as bug repellent. Put sliced onion in water and place it where bugs are commonly spotted.
- Citronella is one of the best natural bug repellents. If you have free space around the house or in your front yard, I recommend you grow the plant. Its scent will effectively keep bugs away from your house.
- Soy oil is another effective mosquito repellent. You can simply apply soy oil on your skin to keep mosquitos away.
- Garlic oil is an effective aphid pesticide. To make garlic oil, smash garlic cloves and soak in three litres of water for one day. Spray the water on the trees where you find aphids.
