s not that I want a bugless summer. Not at all. Summer would lose half its sorcery without the song of cicadas or the flicker of fireflies.
It's the additional bugs namely (ahem) bug me. (You've never heard that before, have you?)
For me, the triumvirate of summer pests is as usual: Ants. Mosquitos. House flies.
I love the lukewarm weather, I don't even idea moisture (sweat out those toxins!), but when I see flies on the window screen, I work chilly inside. I tremble. I start rifling via the space under the sink, seeing for last year's disposable fly traps. Because you know how flies do, they multiply. They buzz. They pedal me mad.
And then [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], oh delight, mosquitos. If only itchy red bumps would begin being considered a fashionable accessory, I would be at the height of fashion. Instead, I'm afraid to dress summer skirts avoid human navigate remove of me fully, fearing chicken pox.
The ants, whatsoever, are my arc nemeses. I use the plural here because there is no such object as one ant. Ants are armies, they march in lines from the door, up the cupboards and walls, detecting their way to my sink. Why? I want to inquire them. Perhaps I would be fewer upset if I could understand them better. But there is no negotiating with bugs, not with preconditions or otherwise.
Which brings me to the point. This summer I've stocked up on disposable fly traps, consulted the catchmaster, and I am prepared to handle with my 3 least preference pests. How? I'm glad you asked. Not being a bug, myself, I am capable and delighted to speak this through with you.
1. Ants
First [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], try not to make your pantry too enticing. Keep counters and the layer wash and crumb-free. Under no circumstances leave the sugar bowl out in the open, and unless you're a glutton for discipline, twice bag that honey jar.
Don't quit dishes soaking overnight. I know, it's summer and you absence apt relax, but what's extra relaxing, knowing ants aren't in the house or skipping the dishes? For me, it's a no-brainer.
If the ants come in, there are manifold family remedies to try on them that might surprise you. Cucumbers, for example. Leave a few slices out. Ants hate them. You can also try cayenne, citrus oil, or a merge of Borax and water. I've dumped Borax in the cracks around my sink and it did the cheat, but that was behind in my bachelorette days. Don't use it if you have pets or kids in the house.
If those normal remedies fail you, it's period because a Catchmaster moth cage. (That's variety of where all of these roads lead. Help is above the direction!)
2. Mosquitos
Mosquitos are attracted to standing water. Kiddie pools, birdbaths, your pet's water bowl--determine you change the water in these at least twice a week. Check the gutters, also. Don't leave everything in the yard that collects water.
Natural treat time! Citronella, in my experience, doesn't do a entire lot. Eucalyptus assists some. Toss sage or rosemary on the roast if you're grilling out. I've heard of spraying yourself with garlic water, merely pretension prohibits me from trying this 1, myself.
Plant marigolds!
3. House flies
I'm a big believer in disposable fly traps. This is for I am not a big believer in fly swatting [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which has only ever felt favor an training in futility in my experience.
You tin also attempt keeping mint, basil, bay leaves, cloves or clover on your skylight sills. If it doesn't keep the flies out, at fewest it will smell agreeable.
And for heaven's sake, even if you were heaved in a barn, near the door.
