Every one of us will never want to see or live with bugs or rodents anywhere near us. This is a very common everyday problem, especially throughout the summer. Would be perfect if we can simply just get rid of all these insects and put them outside? However, what can we do in order to prevent their presence?
Here are some easy and simple solutions that will be able to help you in making your home a bug free place:
- Mint – You will need to take a few mint leaves from the garden or buy them in case you do not have any at home. Crush them and sprinkle them all over the house, or where you have noticed bugs appearance. Bugs can not stand this smell. Also, you should place some in the baby’s bed. Or take some leaves and dry them, and then put them in the closet in a packet. Your clothes will smell great as well.
- Rosemary, lavender, and eucalyptus. – You can add these oils to water, just add a few drops and put it in a spray bottle. Spray near bugs or other places.
- Mint oil- All bugs and particularly spiders hate this smell. Therefore, you should mix it with water and spray around the house.
- Baking soda – This will kill the insects. You should spread throughout the house or sprinkle it in the cracks. This item removes moisture from the body of the insect. Then vacuum after a few days.
- Vinegar – Just as the oils, mix with water and spray off. The scent is not pleasing however it does not stay a long time.
- Cayenne pepper – Sprinkle this in the corners and insect areas.
