Everyone wants to keep their home clean, tidy, and neat, free from insects. However, using chemical pesticides can be harmful to health. If those pesticides accidentally get sprayed onto food, they could even endanger one's life.
So how can we get rid of insects running rampant in our homes?
Let's use the natural ingredients shown below to fight them off.
If your home is overrun with cockroaches
Thinly slice one onion, then mix it thoroughly with one teaspoon of baking soda. Afterward, spread it along the corners and edges of your walls at home. If you apply it every day, after some time the cockroaches will flee far away.
Are you someone who's afraid of spiders?
Pour 200 ml of water into a spray bottle. Then add a quarter teaspoon of liquid soap. After that, add about 5 to 10 drops of peppermint oil, then shake the spray bottle well. Next, spray it in areas where spiders tend to be found.
If you spray it about once a week, you won't see spiders or their webs in your home anymore. If you don't want to use peppermint oil, you can substitute it with lavender oil or tea tree oil.
If you want to drive ants far away
Sprinkle cinnamon powder around areas where ants frequently travel. Ants strongly dislike the smell of cinnamon powder.
Are you upset that insects are infesting the flowering plants in your garden?
Thinly slice 90 grams of chili peppers. Also thinly slice garlic or onion. Then put them into a blender and blend until you get a paste-like consistency. After that, mix it with 500 ml of warm water and let it sit in a warm place for about 24 hours. Then pour it into a spray bottle and spray it onto the flowering plants infested with insects. This way, your flowering plants will be free of insects and remain beautiful.
