In general, the main thing that insects do not like is strong smells. Based on this basic rule, I make my sprays to combat mosquitoes and midges.
- A spray with conditioner is a good solution to the problem of fighting midges. But it is practically useless against flies.
- An infusion of cloves in alcohol works well against bloodsuckers and flies. But the infusion is a thick dark color. You can’t apply it to light windows or a white windowsill. But you can pour a little into a cup or put a cotton ball and pour the infusion on top. Put such a cup on the windowsill. I assure you, it is not so easy for mosquitoes and flies to break through such a « curtain ». The main thing is not to forget to add fresh infusion every 6-8 hours.
- A camphor alcohol infusion is very good at repelling mosquitoes and flies. You need to take 25 ml. For this volume, add 15 cloves and a little crushed bay leaf. 4-5 pieces will be enough.
- We put the bottle with the infusion in a dark place for a week. Yes, this infusion will also be dark in color, and if it gets on a light surface, it will definitely leave marks.
