Between fly desertions, mosquito bites, and cockroach-borne bacteria, life quickly becomes unbearable. It is necessary, in this case, to react quickly to avoid an invasion of these unpleasant creatures.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, there are several effective methods that pose no danger to your health or the environment. So you can easily make your own insecticides with products you use every day at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-les-pieges-a-insectes-faits-maison\">1 \u2013 Homemade Insect Traps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike commercial insect traps, these are environmentally friendly, cost next to nothing, and are terribly effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apple Cider Vinegar Trap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need:<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go.ezodn.com\/utilcave_com\/ezoicbwa.png\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar.<br>\u2013 Liquid dishwasher detergent.<br>\u201cA glass bowl.\u201d<br>\u2013 A plastic film.<br>\u201cA toothpick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pour 2 to 3cm of cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar into the bowl. Then add a few drops of liquid dish detergent and shake to dissolve. By placing the container in the infested area at night, you will find many dead insects the next day. They seem to be more attracted to the darkness and coolness of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flies and other insects are attracted to vinegar because of the smell that resembles that of rotting fruit. When they approach it to feed, they will choke thanks to the detergent.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go.ezodn.com\/utilcave_com\/ezoicbwa.png\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fruit Trap:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place an old piece of skinless fruit in the container. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Poke lots of small holes in the plastic with a toothpick. Fruit flies will enter the trap without being able to get out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-spray-100-naturel\">2 \u2013 100% natural aerosol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a simple, chemical-free, and inexpensive solution to get rid of those unwanted visitors once and for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 1\/2 glass of&nbsp;vinegar.<br>\u2013 1\/2 glass of olive oil.<br>\u2013 1\/2 cup of shampoo.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go.ezodn.com\/utilcave_com\/ezoicbwa.png\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use :<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pour the 3 ingredients into a spray bottle and shake this mixture. All you have to do is spray the liquid in the different corners of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-un-repulsif-a-base-dhuile-essentielle-de-lavande\">3 \u2013 A lavender essential oil-based repellent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put a few drops of lavender essential oil on a sponge, then place it in a place frequented by flies and leave it on. Repeat as soon as the smell is gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-un-repulsif-naturel-avec-citron-et-clous-de-girofle\">4- A natural repellent with lemon and cloves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This grandma\u2019s trick involves cutting a lemon (preferably green) in half and then gluing about fifteen cloves on each side.<br>The blend of the 2 perfumes is a natural repellent against mosquitoes and flies. After a few days, the flesh of the lemon will color and take on a brown tint. This operation should be repeated every week.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go.ezodn.com\/utilcave_com\/ezoicbwa.png\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"autres-astuces-pour-chasser-les-insectes\">Other Tips for Chasing Insects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Insect Repellent Plants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some aromatic plants have a repellent effect on insects. Simply plant them in containers and place them on window frames and balconies to create a natural barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Against mosquitoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Lemon balm.<br>\u2013 Lemon thyme.<br>\u2013 Small-leafed basil.<br>\u2013 Dalmatian pyrethrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contre-les-mouches\">Against flies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Tuberous chervil.<br>\u2013 The basil pie.<br>\u2013 Mint warbler.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go.ezodn.com\/utilcave_com\/ezoicbwa.png\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Against cockroaches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bay leaves (to be placed in places frequented by these critters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical tip :<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid or limit an insect invasion, it is essential to eliminate all factors that facilitate their development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Put food in airtight glass or plastic boxes.<br>\u2013 Clean the kitchen after meals.<br>\u2013 Remove food debris and crumbs.<br>\u2013 Keep the trash can closed and empty it frequently.<br>\u2013 Wash dishes after each meal.<br>\u2013 Do not leave standing scrub water.<br>\u2013 Clean work surfaces.<br>\u2013 Remove grease deposits from cooking appliances.<br>\u2013 Timely repair of water leaks.<br>\u2013 Regularly clean and ventilate the ventilation.<br>\u2013 Never clog air vents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The presence of insects in a house causes a lot of discomfort.
