Summer Home Insect Repellent Secrets
1. Hang a bunch of cloves indoors, or place oranges, tangerines, or lemons in a fruit basket. They can be eaten or used as decoration, and have the effect of preventing mosquitoes and repelling insects.
2. Sprinkle some chili powder or borax where ants enter and exit, or lay mint leaves. This has the effect of blocking and preventing them.
3. When you open a new wooden cabinet, it often has a smell. At this time, placing a pineapple or a pomelo inside can not only eliminate the wood smell, but also make it emit a natural fruit fragrance, while also serving as an insect repellent.
4. Dissolve one cup of soap powder in 4 liters of hot water and spray it directly into corners and along walls to effectively kill cockroaches.
5. Pour the leftover soapy water from your laundry, mixed with a few drops of bleach, outside the house. This can prevent dogs from urinating or defecating arbitrarily at the door and reduce the chance of flies entering.
