Insects, what attracts them to the house?

Every insect  on Earth has different characteristics, but they are all attracted to something specific found inside houses. Mosquitoes  look for  blood to feed on, while flies and other insects look for easy food and then deposit their eggs in various corners of the house.

They like sweets,  sugars and even fermented substances  including syrups. However, they do not paint bread crumbs or pieces of food on the tablecloth or taken from the dirty dishes in the sink.

The best method to  prevent  their arrival is to keep the house clean, do not leave leftover food around and close the packaging. It is more complicated for mosquitoes, but in any case it is advisable to use only  natural repellants.

Homemade repellants with natural ingredients that respect nature and don’t waste money are excellent for  keeping insects away  so they can never come back. You play with a mix of smells and tastes that they don’t like so that they don’t think of laying eggs in the kitchen or  other domestic environment.

A natural repellent to repel insects, from flies to mosquitoes

As already mentioned, it is better  to use grandmother’s methods  with economical and non-polluting natural ingredients. In this case, rice vinegar is used, an excellent preparation that acts against the arrival of insects in the home (and in every season).

To prepare this repellent, simply  cut a plastic bottle  at the top, then turn it upside down to create a kind of funnel. Immediately after, pour a spoonful of rice vinegar into it.

To strengthen its repellent effect, it is better to also pour a measure of detergent on the dishes and then  mix  until a homogeneous mass is formed. The smell released is pleasant for humans, while unpleasant, almost unbearable, for any type of insect.

Flies and mosquitoes  will disappear and will no longer be seen in circulation. As an alternative to rice vinegar, you can choose white wine vinegar, which also has a pungent and sour smell.

Recommendation  : keep the container in a safe place, away from the curiosity of children and four-legged friends.
