old trick that keeps flies and cockroaches away from the house &#8211; gardening and advice"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>4-4 minutes&nbsp;30\/04\/2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The presence of insects in a home causes many nuisances.&nbsp;Between fly attacks, mosquito bites and bacteria transmitted by cockroaches, life quickly becomes unbearable.&nbsp;In this case, it is necessary to react quickly to avoid the invasion of these unpleasant creatures.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are several effective methods that are not dangerous to your health or the environment.&nbsp;Here&#8217;s how you can easily make your own insecticides with the products you use every day at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-les-pieges-a-insectes-faits-maison\">1 \u2013 Homemade insect traps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike commercial insect traps, these are eco-friendly, cost next to nothing, and are terribly effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apple Cider Vinegar Trap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar \u2013 Liquid dish detergent \u2013 \u200b\u200bA glass bowl \u2013 Plastic film \u2013 A toothpick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pour 2 to 3 cm of apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar into the bowl.&nbsp;Then add a few drops of liquid dish detergent and shake to dissolve it.&nbsp;If you place the bowl in the infested area in the evening, the next day you will find many dead insects.&nbsp;It seems that the dark and cool of the night attract them most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flies and other insects are attracted to vinegar by its odor, which resembles that of rotting fruit.&nbsp;When they come close to feed, they drown from the detergent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fruit Trap:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Place an old piece of unpeeled fruit in the bowl.&nbsp;Cover it well with plastic film.&nbsp;Make several small holes in the plastic with a toothpick.&nbsp;Fruit flies will enter the trap and will not be able to get out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-spray-100-naturel\">2 \u2013 100% natural spray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a simple, chemical-free, and inexpensive solution to get rid of these unwanted visitors once and for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients

id=\"3-un-repulsif-a-base-dhuile-essentielle-de-lavande\">3 \u2013 A lavender essential oil repellent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Place a few drops of lavender essential oil on a sponge, place it in a spot frequented by flies and let it act.&nbsp;Repeat the operation when the smell has disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-un-repulsif-naturel-avec-citron-et-clous-de-girofle\">4- A natural repellent with lemon and cloves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This grandmother&#8217;s trick consists of cutting a lemon (preferably green) in half and then inserting about fifteen cloves on each side.&nbsp;The mixture of the two perfumes is a natural repellent against mosquitoes and flies.&nbsp;After a few days, the lemon pulp changes color and takes on a brown hue.&nbsp;This process must be repeated every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"autres-astuces-pour-chasser-les-insectes\">Other tips for repelling insects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Insect
