One of the biggest challenges when it comes to maintaining and cleaning our homes is keeping away insects that could have literally invaded it. Some of the most common unwanted guests include ants , cockroaches, and even fleas .
There are a myriad of products on the market to eliminate any type of insect . However, their extraordinary effectiveness is due to the enormous amount of chemicals (and toxicants) contained in their formula.
Below we offer you an inexpensive and effective DIY solution for eliminating fleas, ants and cockroaches from our homes.
You need :
250 ml of liquid detergent
500 ml of alcohol or cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of cloves
50 ml of water
Preparation :
Start by bringing 50 ml of water in a saucepan to the boil.
Once boiling, add the cloves and simmer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the liquid detergent and alcohol (or apple cider vinegar).
After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let the clove infusion cool.
Pour all the ingredients into a container and mix slowly to avoid foaming.
Finally, pour the solution into a bottle fitted with a sprayer and spray on the most frequented areas and insect entry points.
