Flying in the summer is a real pain! The windows wide open so that the air can circulate as well as possible and bring a gust of wind to the warmth, is an invitation for them to stay with us. But they don’t know that they are uninvited guests.
Although our house is shiny, there are no traces of food, dust or incrustation of any kind, these insects, always looking for new places, sit or buzz, disturbing and disturbing our peace.
Of course, it would be advisable not to poison the environment with chemical insecticides. Although they are effective, they contain substances harmful to our health and the health of the planet, making the spaces in which we live unbreathable. Let’s avoid them as much as possible. Instead, we turn to natural remedies.
In this sense, there is a really great trick, free or almost free, non-toxic but effective : the cotton method.
Here we explain how to implement it!
Flies: Eliminate them with the cotton method.
The cotton method makes our four walls inhospitable in minutes , without contamination, safely and efficiently.
But to put it into practice, you need to get the essential oil. In this case, lemongrass is the best choice. Its pungent smell, so pleasant to us, repels flies (and other insects) almost immediately. The sense of smell of these small animals is actually very sensitive and they cannot tolerate such intense smells. However, if you wish, you can also use lavender , mint or lemon, which are also ideal for our purpose.
Dip a cotton swab into the wood and place it near windows , drape it over a railing, or hang it from the ceiling. Soon we will see them leaving our house.
If you don’t have essential oils on hand, you can use white vinegar. It has a similar function and will rid you of his presence without harming you.
Would you like to increase the effect of these natural antiparasitic remedies? Surround yourself with plants like lavender, basil and calendula. They form a kind of protective shield for your home and you can spend the summer without the annoying company of insects.
