A homemade mosquito trap<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nothing is more exasperating than those flying insects that turn our summer evenings into a nightmare. The good news is that a homemade trap, in just a few minutes, can drastically reduce their numbers. Here\u2019s how to make it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients :<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 5 tablespoons of sugar<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon of yeast<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 250 ml of water<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1 two-liter plastic bottle<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Steps:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Heat the water and dissolve the sugar in it.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Add the yeast and mix well.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Cut the bottle in half and pour the mixture into the bottom half.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Invert the top of the bottle to form a funnel.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Place the trap near the windows or on the balcony.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Why does it work?<\/span><\/strong>
      \nMosquitoes are irresistibly attracted to the carbon dioxide released during the fermentation of the mixture. Once inside, they cannot get out.<\/span><\/p>\n

      A homemade repellent against cockroaches and flies<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Cockroaches and flies love crumbs and damp areas. To discourage them from settling in, nothing beats a plant-based spray whose scent repels them.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Ingredients :<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • 15 bay leaves<\/span><\/li>\n
      • 10 cloves<\/span><\/li>\n
      • 250 ml of water<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Preparation :<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

        2. Allow to cool, then pour into a spray bottle.<\/span><\/li>\n
        3. Spray in strategic locations: kitchen, pantry, bathroom\u2026<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Why does it work?<\/span><\/strong>
          \nBay leaves and cloves give off an odor that these pests hate, forcing them to leave.<\/span><\/p>\n

          • 125 ml of white vinegar<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Instructions for use:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

            2. Pour into a spray bottle.<\/span><\/li>\n
            3. Spray sensitive areas: door and window frames, dark corners, under furniture\u2026<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Why does it work?<\/span><\/strong>
              \nThe shampoo allows the solution to adhere perfectly to surfaces. The vegetable oil creates a natural repellent barrier. The white vinegar effectively repels mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches.<\/span><\/p>\n
