One of the biggest challenges when it comes to caring for and cleaning our home is keeping away insects that may have literally invaded it.
Among the most common unwanted guests we find ants, cockroaches and even fleas.
There are countless products on the market to eliminate any type of insect. However, their extraordinary effectiveness is due to the enormous amount of chemical (and toxic) substances contained in their formula.
Below we propose a do-it-yourself solution that is both economical and effective for eliminating fleas, ants and cockroaches from our homes.
You need :
250 ml of liquid detergent
500 ml of alcohol or apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of cloves
50 milliliters of water
Preparation:
We start by bringing the 50 ml of water to a boil in a saucepan.
Once it boils, add the cloves and simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the liquid detergent and the alcohol (or apple cider vinegar). After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let the clove infusion cool.
Pour all the ingredients into a container and mix slowly to prevent foaming.
Finally, pour the solution into a bottle fitted with a spray diffuser and spray on the most frequented areas and insect entry points.
Remember that it is important to keep surfaces very clean to avoid food residues remaining on them for a long time and attracting insects, but also to eliminate possible insect eggs and larvae.
The remedy we suggested above has repellent properties and is not at all harmful to our health. Prepare it and spray it immediately to keep insects away.
