Bed bugs are a real nightmare for many people. These are insects that generally feed on vegetables and fruits and that can often invade our plants, our gardens and orchards, but also enter the house attracted by food. Their main characteristic is to emit a tremendous odor, a tactic they use as a weapon to scare away predators. For this reason too, it is certainly advisable not to crush them. Let’s see how to remove them.
Methods to keep bed bugs away: here are the most effective ones
Among the most effective methods to keep bed bugs out of the house we undoubtedly find mosquito nets. It is a barrier that can keep all insects away, including bed bugs, and can be easily used in any type of home. It can be installed on windows and doors. Specific products should not be underestimated either. These are products that in most cases are eco-sustainable and that in principle take advantage of the movements of these insects, capturing them and then releasing them into the wild without killing them. In fact, they keep them away in a sustainable and non-aggressive way. Did you know that garlic is also particularly effective? One of the most interesting and useful natural remedies against parasites of all kinds, especially those that invade the garden. You can make a real decoction, which you can then spray on the affected surfaces or on the plants we have in the garden. In this way, bed bugs are effectively repelled. There is another very useful decoction that is based on artemisia. This remedy is equally effective, especially if used in vegetable gardens.
Useful tips
Unfortunately, bed bugs are insidious insects. Very often they can hide in the most unthinkable places: even in the folds of clothes hanging outdoors! It is no coincidence that they often manage to enter the house in this same way. Therefore, before taking your clothes indoors, it would be useful to take a look at all the areas where parasites can enter. Check pockets and various pleats. In general, to protect crops and pots with plants, you can also opt for a very effective “tactical” remedy. In fact, you can alternate the variety of vegetables and fruits present in the garden, avoiding those that generally attract bed bugs more than others. Corn and basil, for example, are among the most “palatable” products and if we can avoid growing them, it would already be an achievement!
