One of the most annoying things with the arrival of heat is undoubtedly the consequent arrival of insects such as mosquitoes and ants. If you’ve found ants at home or you’ve started to notice the first mosquitoes, don’t worry: we have a super effective remedy that can help you and that requires the use of very few ingredients. So, no expensive chemicals that are harmful to your health, but all-natural remedies – let’s find out together what we’re talking about!
Ants and mosquitoes: here is your natural remedy
There are many chemical products on the market that are used to repel mosquitoes, cockroaches and insects. Many of them, however, are harmful to our health and to the animals around us: just look at how often it is specified to ventilate the environment after use and which ones should be avoided if there are four-legged animals such as dogs and cats nearby. Avoiding them could therefore be a good and valid measure to save some money.
There are ingredients that almost everyone has at home that can keep annoying insects at bay: first of all, we are talking 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. By mixing it with water in equal parts, you can add it to a spray can and spray it in strategic places in the house (such as windows and doors, or coves).
Similarly, lemon, which has 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 to obtain a versatile and very useful liquid. What about cinnamon? We’ve already seen how useful this fragrant spice can be for cleaning the house and perfuming it, but what if we told you that it can also be useful for trying to ward off insects? All we have to do is mix a little cinnamon powder with water or essential oils and start spraying. We can also choose to soak some cotton wool and then wipe it over the surfaces for a truly exceptional result.
