No more flies, mosquitoes and some other unwanted critters in your house!

No more flies, mosquitoes and some other unwanted critters in your house! | Eco-Friendly Lifestyle | Scoop.it

How to do :

1. Take a lime, cut it in 2. (it also works with an orange ...)

2. Plant a few cloves, and place the center of the house.

And that's all ! The smell of these two combined plants (citrus and clove) is a natural repellent, incredibly effective against small winged insects!

Place half a lemon in every room, and you will not have any problems.

If the pulp becomes a little brown-brown, that's normal: it is just that it works.

Just remember to replace lemons after 2 to 3 weeks.

For once, it feels pretty good, by against flies and mosquitoes do not like at all. In fact, they hate the smell so they immediately leave the premises.
