How to get rid of flies and ants at home: two household products will help

Flies and ants not only create discomfort with their presence in the house, but they are also dangerous to our health. The pests carry bacteria and germs that can lead to disease.

If you don't want to use chemicals at home, you can get rid of insects with natural and affordable products. OBOZREVATEL has found effective tips to help you do this.

Insects are more active in summer, and you can often see them in your home in search of water and food. To avoid such an unpleasant situation, you only need two ingredients: apple cider vinegar and talcum powder.

Vinegar will help to repel flies. Pour it into a small bowl and place it on the windowsill. You can also spray vinegar with a spray bottle near windows, doors, and on the balcony. This scent will scare away annoying flies and keep them from entering your home.

If you don't like the smell of vinegar, you can add a couple of drops of any essential oil to the solution.

Also, don't forget to take out the trash regularly so that there is no temptation for pests.

To stop ants, use talcum powder (a mineral crystalline substance in the form of a white powder) or chalk at the entrance. The powder enters their body; they cannot breathe and die.
