Pups are insects that take root in private houses and apartments. And sometimes there are so many of them that they start to bother. Then the homeowners seriously think about how to get rid of them, and how to find a reliable remedy against midges. Usually these insects settle in the kitchen. They prefer this room to all other rooms, because here they have something to profit from. Indeed, in every kitchen there are many goodies for them.
Where do gnats come from
And many have a question about how they even get there, because often, it seems, midges come out of nowhere. And they get to our homes in the form of eggs along with vegetables and fruits. Females of these insects lay their eggs on the ripening gifts of nature. And when we bring them home, then they, having found themselves in favorable conditions, begin to multiply intensively. Mice, although they do not live long, but reproduce very quickly. A few days are enough for them to fill the whole kitchen. At the same time, indoor midges can be carriers of infection, and their bite in some people can cause allergies.
How to keep midges out of the house
Since these insects did not appear yesterday and they successfully annoyed even our ancestors, who did not have modern "chemistry", now there is more than one folk remedy for midges. For example, plants such as black elderberry and fern have always been reliable human allies in the fight against these insects. To combat midges, elderberry leaves and branches are simply laid out throughout the house. And fern is used this way: the branches of this plant are bundled and hung at open windows and doors, laid out on window sills. After that, annoying insects will simply go around the house. Even as a folk remedy for midges, you can use some herbs - for example, geranium, tansy and wormwood. Not only midges, but also mosquitoes, and flies do not tolerate their smell.
Recipes for folk remedies for midges
In principle, today in stores there are many means by which you can easily get rid of these insects. But these chemicals do not add health to people. They are especially contraindicated for allergy sufferers, asthmatics, and children too. The folk remedy for midges will be safer for humans. Here is a recipe for one of them. Take a tablespoon of formalin, 3 tablespoons of milk and 5 tablespoons of sweet water. All this must be mixed, poured into a plate and in its center put a piece of bread. The clowns in the room will fly off by the smell, but after contact with this liquid they will die within a few minutes. According to the second recipe, you need to mix 1.5 tablespoons of sugar in a glass of milk, wait for the sugar to dissolve, and add 3 tablespoons of black pepper. Then, with the obtained liquid, it is necessary to soak the paper and hang this folk remedy for midges at open windows and doors, and in other places where insects congregate.
Cleanliness in the house - a method of combating midges
These insects can be successfully fought if you simply starve them. This is most likely the most reliable folk remedy for midges. If you hide all the products in a place inaccessible to them, then the insects themselves will be transferred, because midges live for long. To do this, tightly tie packages with dried fruits, nuts and cereals. Jars with stewed fruit and jam should also be kept closed. It is desirable to store bread in a bread box and in bags, and vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator. The garbage bin should be washed and dried more often, and a chemical agent needs to be poured into the drain hole of the sink, as midges will find something to profit from there. Do not leave crumbs on the table, as well as dirty dishes in the sink. Perfect cleanliness in the kitchen within a few days will destroy the midges completely.
