The Mercadona spray that eliminates autumn bed bugs in our house

Today we want to explain some effective natural methods to keep green bugs away from our homes. Our grandmothers used baking soda not only to clean and disinfect, but also against insects. Today we are going to discover some more effective tricks.

Where the bugs hide

Bed bugs love warm, humid environments, so they take refuge indoors. Here they find the ideal environment to spend the winter and lay their eggs. They usually do this by hiding behind furniture and in cracks in walls.

Furthermore, since they love humidity, we can often find the bugs on our hanging clothes, but also on the windows trying to enter the house.

Bed bugs give off an annoying odor as a defense mechanism that they put in place when they feel threatened. We can actually get rid of bugs without making them smell very easily.

Insects have a highly developed sense of smell and garlic is the perfect ingredient to scare them away. We can use this remedy to keep them away from balconies, terraces and windows and we can do it in several ways.

We crush a clove of garlic and place it outside the windows or on the balcony. Or we mix 2 cloves of garlic, add a little water and spray this solution on the outer areas.

How to keep bed bugs away from hanging clothes

To prevent bed bugs from staying on clothes hanging outside the home, we use eucalyptus essential oil. It is especially good against bed bugs due to its intense and persistent odor.

Again, we can do it in two ways. In the first case, just add a couple of drops to the washing machine tray before washing. Its smell will be very pleasant for us, but extremely annoying for insects.

In the second case, we can dilute a few drops in water and spray the solution on the clothes after hanging them. When we pick up the clothes, we will hardly find any bugs.

How to prepare a scented repellent spray

The last remedy we would like to suggest is the use of Marseille soap. This scented product has many useful properties for home and garden care and you can find it in the cleaning section of Mercadona supermarkets.

For an effective remedy, dissolve 20 grams of liquid or flake Marseille soap in hot water. This way, the smell will be intense and will not allow bugs to land on our clothes. This trick is also valid for outdoor areas and will deter bugs from sneaking into our home. We can spray a little on the windowsills, or save a small amount in a glass.

What attracts bed bugs to the house

We have discovered 3 excellent remedies to easily get bed bugs out of the house, but what attracts these insects? It is not difficult to find bugs not only on clothes, but also on the leaves of plants. In particular, basil and tomato plants are the most popular, so keeping them on windowsills and balconies will attract them.

Insects look for food and water to survive and feed mainly on leaves, fruits and vegetables. That is why we can find them in gardens and plants.
