How to make this mix for insects: you will no longer have cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes in the house.

With the sunny days, they resurface. First discreet, then invasive, the insects enter our homes and disrupt our daily lives. Procession ants on the work surface, cockroaches emerging unexpectedly, elusive mosquitoes ... The enemy is everywhere. Should we then turn to commercial insecticides, which are often expensive and filled with chemical substances? Fortunately, there are natural and very effective solutions.

A clean house: the first line of defence

Insects clutter forgotten crumbs, food remains and moisture. An impeccable interior is therefore the first bulwark against their invasion.

• Dispose of food sources: Keep dry food in hermetic jars, leave no crumbs on the floor or surfaces, and clean immediately after cooking.
• Control the waste: A poorly closed garbage can attracts cockroaches and flies. Go for a tightly fitted lid and take your garbage out regularly.
• Monitor moisture: Stagnant water promotes the proliferation of mosquitoes and other pests. Check the leaks under the sink, empty the cups under the plants and regularly change the water from the animal bowls.

An effective and natural home insecticide

If, despite all your precautions, the insects persist, it is time to take action with a homemade repellent that is simple to prepare and safe for health.
