With a little  ancient wisdom and the right moves, we can experience spring and  summer undisturbed.

So let’s make use of these natural poisons, already known to our grandmothers.

Natural poisons against flies and mosquitoes

Go to the pantry and get some pepper . This spice, so prized in the kitchen, is really unpleasant for the sensitive sense of smell of insects. Simply prepare a bowl of ground pepper and add water in a splash. Place it in strategic places around the house, near doors and windows and you will get rid of their unpleasant presence.

Eucalyptus oil   is also a powerful deterrent for flies and mosquitoes: a few drops in  the  diffuser and two tablespoons of water will straighten out your day. You will breathe deeply, they will flee with outstretched wings.

If you like gardening, get a  pot  of  basil and take care of it: it will become an invisible barrier against mosquitoes and pests, creating a protective shield for your kitchen.

With  orange  or  lemon  and  cloves , you can make a kind of insecticidal deterrent: stick them into citrus fruits ,  then cut them into slices and place them on a saucer. Place it in the room most frequented by these small and unpleasant creatures and enjoy the intoxicating aroma and the release from their boring proximity.
