Terror of flies and mosquitoes in homes as soon as summer and rainy season arrive Starts growing rapidly. These not only spoil our sleep and peace, but also pose a risk of serious diseases like dengue, malaria and chikungunya. If you want to avoid chemical all-out or coil smoke, the easiest, safest and most effective way is to adopt some home remedies. You can get rid of mosquitoes and flies by mixing some things in the mop water. Let us know which things can be added to the mop water to keep flies and mosquitoes away from the house forever.

1. White Vinegar with Phenyl

Flies and mosquitoes do not like the strong smell of vinegar at all. For this, mix half a cup of white vinegar in a bucket of mop water. This will ensure germ-free cleaning of the floor and flies will not even enter the house.

2. Neem oil or neem leaf extract
Neem is known for its anti-bacterial and anti-insect properties. Add 10-15 drops of neem oil in the mop water. If there is no oil, then boil neem leaves in water and mix that water in the mop solution. Mosquitoes run away immediately due to its smell.

3. Rock salt and camphor
The smell of camphor not only purifies the environment but also drives away insects. Grind 2-3 camphor tablets finely and make powder. Dissolve it in mop water along with one spoon of rock salt. This method completely prevents flies from sitting on the floor.

4. Lemongrass or Eucalyptus Oil
The fragrance of essential oils gives us freshness, but for flies and mosquitoes it is no less than poison. While taking water in the bucket, add 8-10 drops of lemongrass or eucalyptus oil in it. This will make your house smell good throughout the day and mosquitoes and flies will also stay away.
