Say goodbye to flies and ants in your home with the natural pesticide that you can make with a Mercadona product

May is a wonderful month for any green corner of the house, whether it is a balcony, a windowsill, a terrace, a garden or a small orchard. In fact, we are in the middle of spring, which covers the plants in green and dresses them in leaves, flowers and fruits. The nature that lives in our house seems like a true earthly paradise, full of colors and aromas that we will carry in our hearts.

This dream, however, could be abruptly interrupted by the invasion of certain insects that threaten the life of our seedlings. May is also the month in which these tiny animals begin to proliferate again, hunting for food to grow and reproduce.

However, their biting and sucking take the life out of plants and can even cause their death. Thus, to eradicate a possible infestation from the beginning, we could use the 100% natural product that we will discover in today's article.

One problem, many culprits

Various insect pests are responsible for endangering the life of our plants, for example, causing wilting, loss of leaves and the absence of fruits and flowers.

Aphids are also known as lice and are very feared because they produce honeydew that settles on ants and can cause the appearance of fungi. Mites, on the other hand, are very similar to spiders and are feared because they are harmful but microscopic and very difficult to detect.

However, the category is very broad, and to them we could add, for example, mealybugs and thrips. An invasion would be very likely during spring and May. Furthermore, it could affect not only the garden but also those beautiful ornamental plants that we have inside and outside the house.

To exterminate these insect pests, we can buy prepackaged products in specialized stores or try DIY.

Among the many remedies that we can create, the mixture that we are going to discover today would have a universal action because it could act on many varieties of destructive insects.

To prepare it we need:

2 liters of water; 250 grams of nettle, leaves and twigs but not roots, which have a repellent effect; 35 grams of Marseille soap flakes, to thoroughly clean, eliminating molasses and possible eggs, and with a fortifying effect.

First heat the water and pour it into a container with the nettle. Cover and let marinate for 5 days.

After this time, we can filter the water, add the Marseille soap and transfer the mixture to a spray bottle. In this way, once the soap is dissolved, we can easily spray all the plants, repeating the operation if necessary after 3 days. Marseille soap is a product that you can easily find in any cleaning section of Mercadona supermarkets.

It can also be useful as an insecticide to spray all those corners of the house that are invaded by its annoying presence.
