Dealing with pesky insects like flies and mosquitoes can be a real challenge. These unwanted guests invade our homes, causing problems and sometimes even posing health risks. While there are countless insect repellents on the market, they often contain harmful chemicals and additives. Fortunately, there are natural alternatives that are both environmentally friendly and safe for your health.
Understanding the Invaders To effectively repel insects, it's important to understand what attracts them to our homes. Mosquitoes and flies are attracted to light, food, and certain environmental conditions. They lay their eggs in different places, so it's important to combat these problems before a full-blown infestation occurs. Surprisingly, the insects aren't attracted to breadcrumbs or small food scraps, but they do have a strong appetite for sweets, sugar, and fermented foods.

When it comes to mosquitoes, using natural repellents is often the best choice, as they're safe for you and the environment without breaking the bank.
