In our homes, the arrival of sunny days can sometimes be accompanied by an unwanted mess: flying insects. Fortunately, there are simple, natural solutions that will allow you to repel these invaders while also adding a touch of freshness to your home. Let’s discover together these practical tips for a healthy and fragrant home.
Repel flying insects with vinegar
If you are struggling with flying insects at home, there may already be an effective solution in your kitchen: distilled white vinegar. By mixing this vinegar with water in the same ratio (50/50), you will obtain a powerful, natural repellent.
To use it, soak a cotton ball in this solution and run it over the windowsills. In addition to acting as an effective repellent, vinegar is great for removing stains and restoring the whiteness of surfaces. In addition, vinegar is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cleaning products, as it is antibacterial and non-toxic.
It is important to note that you should only use distilled white vinegar, as apple cider vinegar does not have the same repellent effect. This method can be especially useful as fall approaches and some insects seek shelter indoors for the winter.
