The problem of insects in the house is easily solved by washing the floor in a certain way. Here’s how to do it.
With the arrival of summer and the beautiful season, the arrival of some insects is inevitable. Whether flying or crawling, these small, mostly harmless beings often enter our homes in search of food or safe places to nest. But here’s how to remove them without using chemical repellents.
Keep Insects Away Naturally
Let’s face it, no one particularly appreciates the presence of insects in the house. Most of the time we try to intervene with the help of aerosols and chemicals. These obviously, in addition to being harmful to the environment, can also be harmful to people, since they contain various toxic substances. It is no coincidence that on the packages there is always a warning to use in a ventilated place or, in any case, to ventilate the rooms in which certain products are used. Although chemical remedies on the market are believed to be the most effective and reliable, there are many suitable natural methods to repel insects excellently. Specifically, regularly washing the floor with a mixture of two simple ingredients will help you scare away both terrestrial insects such as cockroaches and ants, as well as flying insects such as flies and mosquitoes.
Finding insects in your home is completely normal, especially with the arrival of summer. Wow, these unwanted little guests are mostly looking for food or nesting spots. Therefore, it is essential to maintain order and cleanliness in the first place and prevent them from finding food remains. Then you can move on to washing the floor. Let’s see together how to do it with two ingredients that will repel insects naturally.
The ingredients for washing the floor.
The two essential ingredients for creating an excellent insect repellent floor cleaner are yellow soap and apple cider vinegar. The first, less well-known, is a type of cleanser based on water, coconut oil and glycerin. It usually comes in cubes and its consistency is rather soft. The second, on the other hand, is a well-known ingredient in kitchens and is used both for the preparation and seasoning of food and for cleaning. In the latter field, in fact, it is formidable thanks to its natural degreasing power.
Yellow soap is a perfect ingredient to combat insects, as its pleasant aroma for humans is decidedly unpleasant for the much more sensitive smell of insects. The process to make a repellent detergent is very simple. It is enough to dissolve 30 grams of yellow soap in a container filled with hot water. Once well dissolved, add a cup of apple cider vinegar. Mix everything well, soak the cloth, wring it out and proceed to clean the floors. In this way, in addition to having created an invisible barrier that will keep insects away, you will have a scented, clean and perfectly degreased and sanitized floor.
