Ants and mosquitoes: here’s the natural remedy
There are many chemicals on the market that are used to repel mosquitoes, cockroaches, and insects. Many of them, however, are harmful to health and to the animals around us: just look at how it is often specified to ventilate the environment after use and which should be avoided if there are four-legged animals nearby, such as dogs and cats. Avoiding them, therefore, could be a good and valid measure to save some money. There are ingredients that almost all of us have at home that can keep pesky insects at bay: we are talking, first of all, about lemon, white vinegar and cinnamon. These three ingredients can allow you to avoid spending extra money and opt for all-natural solutions to counteract the action of mosquitoes and ants in the first place. For example, white vinegar, which has a particularly strong smell, is annoying to almost all insects. Mixing it with water in equal parts, you can add it to a spray container and spray it in strategic places in the house (such as windows and doors, or coves). Similarly, lemon, with a strong fragrance, is mainly used to repel ants and mosquitoes: rub it on doors and windows, or mix it with essential oils or water for a versatile and very useful liquid. What about cinnamon ? We have already seen other times how useful this fragrant spice can be to clean the house and perfume it. What if we told you that it can also be useful to try to scare away insects? All you have to do is mix a little cinnamon powder with water or essential oils and start spraying. We can also choose to soak cotton and then pass it over the surfaces and obtain a truly exceptional result. Try at least one of these methods and let us know – we’re sure you’ll be amazed!
