Do you know that moment when we finally lie on our glamorous bodies on the sofa with a glass of wine in hand and then we are interrupted by that thin and disturbing “bzzzz”? Mosquitoes. And to make matters worse, the cockroaches train for a marathon along the edge of the wall and the flies perform in acrobatics in front of their lunch. It is time to take the situation in hand, with elegance and naturalness.
Forget toxic sprays and insecticideswhich have the smell of chemical war. We present three simple but extremely effective housewives recipes: a fermented mosquito trap, an aromatic laurel spray against cockroaches and a universal repellent repellent, which will remove the insects directly from your apartment. All this without harmful ingredients, with a perfume of purity and triumph.
1. Homemade mosquito trap: a fermented trap that attracts them like summer ice cream
You need:
- 1 cup of water
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of yeast
- 2 -liter plastic bottle
First, boil the sugar and water over low heat until the sugar has melted. Once the mixture becomes an ecstasy of liquid sugar, remove it from the heat, add the yeast (without mixing!) And let the yeast do its magic. Cut the bottle in half and rotate the upper part like a funnel to the bottom. Pour the mixture, seal with adhesive tape and cover with a cloth or cardboard. Place them in the corners where mosquitoes love to organize their evening parties.

This is a perfume that has the flavor of the victory over insects.

Spray in all corners frequented by unwanted flyers and runners.

3. Anti-insect spray: triple power of shampoo, vinegar and oil
You need:
- ½ cup of shampoo (you can use what you bought by mistake)
- ½ cup of white vinegar
- ½ cup of vegetable oil
Mix all the ingredients well and pour them into a spray bottle. This spray is a highlight: it combines the delicacy of the shampoo, the acidity of the vinegar and the duck finish of the oil. Spray it on all the surfaces that insects may consider desirable. They will not return.
Why are natural methods winning?
In addition to being completely safe to use in the presence of children and pets, these solutions do not contain toxic chemicals and do not pollute home air. In addition, you will smell the grandmother’s pantry and not a chemistry laboratory.
So, the next time I hear that annoying “bzzzz” or see a running cockroach, do not panic: he warms the pot rather and stimulates your natural defenses. Your home will become a fortress free from insects and you will be the proud creator of an oasis of peace, free from hums and crickets.
