While there are many insect repellents on the market, they often contain harmful chemicals and additives that we may not want to be exposed to. The good news is, there are natural alternatives that are both eco-friendly and safe for our health.
To effectively keep insects away, it’s important to understand what attracts them to our homes. Mosquitoes and flies are drawn to light, food, and certain environmental conditions. They lay eggs in various places, so it’s essential to tackle these issues before they become a full-blown infestation. Surprisingly, insects are not attracted to breadcrumbs or minor food scraps, but they do have a keen interest in sweets, sugar, and fermented substances.
Preventing insect invasions starts with maintaining a clean home. By eliminating food waste, properly sealing food packages, and keeping our surroundings tidy, we can go a long way in deterring these unwelcome guests. So, let’s not allow food or crumbs to attract them!
