Bugs can be nasty little things, and take over a home, garden or any other area in a glance.
For that reason, we present 7 easy and effective ways to deal with bugs and insects, once and for all:
- Peppermint Oil
Peppermint is intolerable to bugs, so they keep their distance perfectly. Mix 8 drops of peppermint essential oil with a little water. Spray the liquid in the corners of your house. For stronger effects increase the peppermint oil dosage. Also, you can add vinegar to the mix and get even bigger results.
- Vinegar
Vinegar alone can be truly effective when insects are concerned. Combine one part vinegar with two parts water. Spray liquid around the house for best results.
