Tezzbuzz Desk- While the rainy season provides relief from the heat, it also increases the problem of winged insects and small pests in the houses. These insects hovering around the lights in the evening not only cause inconvenience but also affect the cleanliness of the house. In such a situation, these insects can be removed by adopting some home remedies instead of chemical sprays from the market. Sprays prepared from some spices and natural things present in the kitchen can prove helpful in providing relief from this problem.

Prepare natural spray from clove and lemon

A mixture of clove and lemon is considered useful to keep away insects. For this, boil 10 to 15 cloves in a cup of water for 5 to 7 minutes. When the water cools down, filter it and add juice of one lemon to it. Fill the prepared mixture in a spray bottle and spray it on windows, doors and those places where insects are seen the most.

Clove and cinnamon extracts will also be useful

The strong scent of cloves and cinnamon is not liked by many insects. Add 10 cloves and a small piece of cinnamon in a glass of water and boil it well. After it cools down, filter it, fill it in a spray bottle and spray it at the entrance or balcony of the house in the evening.

Neem oil is also an effective solution

Neem oil is considered a natural insect repellent. A spray can be prepared by mixing equal amounts of neem oil and liquid dish soap. Spraying it around doors, windows and balconies can reduce the movement of insects. Many people also light a Neem oil lamp in the evening, the smell of which also keeps insects away.

Desi recipe of mustard oil

If there are more winged insects around the lights in the house, then this remedy of mustard oil can be adopted. Apply mustard oil on a plastic sheet or thick paper and keep it at a distance from the bulb. Many insects are driven away by the smell of oil and some stick to it.

• Keep nets on windows and doors.
• Avoid switching on unnecessary lights in the evening.
• Do not allow water to accumulate around the house.
• Mop the floor with neem water from time to time.
