Natural Solutions Against Household Insects
White vinegar - Wipe kitchen and bathroom surfaces with diluted vinegar to repel ants.
Mix baking soda and sugar in equal parts and place them where you have noticed weevils; they will be attracted to the sugar, but the baking soda will be fatal to them.
Citrus peels – Mosquitoes and spiders hate the smell of orange or lemon, so you can leave fresh peels in the corners of your house.
Essential oils – Use eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, or tea tree oil on a cotton ball and place it in areas where insects have access.
