Humidity, organic waste and heat encourage the proliferation of these unwanted guests in our homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cockroaches, besides being ugly, carry bacteria and parasites that can cause diseases, especially gastrointestinal ones. They reproduce easily in the warmest, most humid spaces with food remains, such as pantries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flies can also carry bacteria. They are tiny creatures that, before flying into our homes and landing, perhaps, on food, have wandered outside, even in garbage and other organic matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve tried commercial insecticides and haven&#8217;t been able to eliminate the problem, try nature. Below we list the best plants to repel cockroaches, ants and flies without putting our health at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catnip. This plant is an unbeatable repellent and is especially effective against flies, as well as repelling ants and cockroaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garlic. It has a penetrating smell that is practically hated by insects, who will stay away from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basil. Not only useful in the kitchen, having a basil plant at home allows us to scare away flies and cockroaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laurel. Although pleasant for us, the smell of bay leaves is unbearable for flies and cockroaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lavender. Not only is it beautiful and produces gorgeous flowers, lavender is an excellent natural repellent that will keep cockroaches and flies away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cucumber. Place a few slices of cucumber where cockroaches or ants get into the house and you&#8217;ll see how it keeps them away.<a href=\"https:\/\/clck.mgid.com\/ghits\/20069216\/i\/57896104\/0\/pp\/6\/1?h=8S56ZSoLx4RLo0Zfz8BHuOpEIzoOqcEsHbW4A8no0w21s2P2g9mi16Sje-apSImIII1z0IHC_JyWlqKngHlNBVGuLQROCckdwm3-3yFShSs*&amp;rid=70dad45b-483c-11ef-bd57-e43d1a2a53a0&amp;ts=l.facebook.com&amp;tt=Social&amp;att=1&amp;cpm=1&amp;abd=1&amp;iv=11&amp;ct=1&amp;gdprApplies=0&amp;st=180&amp;mp4=1&amp;h2=Zyv-7qJBTmLvmp_TulNDR60Qpa4MIG9Vy-9i0XtyLjv7cH_iKJEWaftvIbKy0HSv&amp;muid=o09vsM3Bo7g9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Insects such as cockroaches, ants and flies can literally invade our homes, even if we clean them frequently.
