Isn’t it annoying when you just bought a nice loaf of sweet bread or some pastry only to find that the ants have made a feast with it? Ants are a pest, really. Fortunately, we have some home remedies to combat them.
To Get Rid of Ants:
Sprinkle talcum powder at the bottom of the doors and windows
Sprinkle red pepper or paprika in places where you would find ants
Spray vinegar on problem areas
Place an oregano sprig in the pantry to keep ants away from food.
Place lavender sprigs in places where you have ant problems.
Prepare a mixture of sugar and borax and put in problem areas. This is a very effective poison.
Sprinkle Cream of Wheat around the kitchen. The Cream of Wheat expands when ingested, and the ants will explode
To Get Rid of Cockroaches:
The cockroach is the most disgusting insect there is. And some people say they cause cancer. Whether they cause cancer or not, the truth is that these bugs are anti-hygienic and we do not want them around. Some home remedies you could try to get rid of cockroaches:
Add two cups of Ammonia to the water you will use to clean the floor. After mopping, pour the water down the drains.
Make dough balls of boric acid with bread crumbs and put them in places where you have cockroach problems. This is a very effective poison.
Clean the floor with bay leaves water.
Put baking soda on top of lettuce leaves and put them behind the stove, refrigerator and heating systems.
