Keeping home pest free for healthy living
Garlic for mosquitoes
The strong and pungent odour of this easily available kitchen ingredient does the trick. All you need to do is crush few pods of garlic, boil them in water and spray this solution in your house. You can even spray it on yourself, but beware of its strong smell.
White vinegar for ants
Whether it’s summer or winter, ants are found everywhere and in all seasons. So the next time you see these tiny creatures roaming around, just spray some white vinegar in these areas. However, if you plan to use it on the carpet or any fabric, test the solution beforehand.
Boric powder for cockroaches
Wondering how to get rid of those cockroaches from your kitchen? Mix a teaspoon of wheat flour (atta) and boric powder, add a little water and make a dough. Now, make small balls of it and place them in every corner of the room to keep cockroaches at bay.
Citrus peels for spiders
During rains, the sight of spiders is quite common. But there’s an effective home remedy to keep them at bay. All you have to do is rub citrus peels on areas that are highly vulnerable to spiders such as bookshelves, corners of the room and window sills.
Camphor for flies
Not many people know that camphor acts as a potent deterrent for flies. Place few camphor pieces in a bowl and put it in every nook of the house. In case of too many flies, light the camphor and spread the fumes throughout your home to get rid of them. more
