How to Get Rid of Flies, Mosquitoes, Cockroaches, and Rats — Fast and Naturally
Household pests such as flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and rats are more than just annoying — they can spread dangerous diseases and contaminate food. While many people turn to chemical sprays and poisons, these solutions are often harmful to humans, pets, and the environment. Fortunately, there are safe and natural remedies that can help keep these unwanted visitors away.
1. Flies
Flies are attracted to food waste, moisture, and strong odors. A simple yet effective natural remedy is the hanging water bag trick. Fill a clear plastic bag with water and hang it near windows or doors. The reflection of light in the water confuses flies’ vision, keeping them away. Additionally, keeping your kitchen clean and disposing of garbage regularly helps reduce fly infestations.
2. Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes thrive in standing water and humid environments. To repel them naturally:
-
Essential oils such as citronella, eucalyptus, or lavender act as strong deterrents.
-
Garlic spray can be sprayed in outdoor areas to reduce mosquito presence.
-
Eliminating stagnant water around your home prevents breeding grounds.
