Always better to avoid toxic chemicals. I had an infestation of bluebottles that must've just hatched from under the old floorboards in the back porch of a new dwelling. I didn't notice and when I openened the door they all swarmed into my home. It was scary. They just zoomed around together ignoring all the wide open windows. I didn't have fly spray (it honestly makes me feel sick and although I was freaked out and just wanted them out I'm glad) I was studying a book about the vaiouse uses of natural ingredients so I looked fly deterrent and the only thing I had was a small onion which it said should be peeled and boiled. Sure enough as soon as they smelt the steam from the onion they all exited within an instant! I was amazed and relieved. If I'd used a chemical spray it would have been carnage! Always try natural remedies and cleaning products when you are able. All it takes is a few cheap natural ingredients and a little effort that will save time, money, your families and the environments health. ❤

​@@user-kv2jf1es9uhave you tried sprinkling boric acid in every room (where your walls meet the floor)? Hot shot is a good brand (they sell it at home depot, Walmart, etc). Buy the bottle with the skinny twist off cap. Take some scissors and cut off the tip so when you squeeze the bottle a puff of boric acid will shoot out. You don't have to cake it into the surface, just point it and squeeze puffs all along the floor/wall junctions. If the infestation is really bad, do the cabinets/cupboards too.

Cloves might get stuck in the spray bottle, it's better to use oil of cloves added to water instead. Cloves do ward off insects, so does vinegar (for some), lemongrass, and chestnuts for spiders.

[@marklkell]

As well as peppermint oil

[@deborahhenderson149]

I only ever see chestnuts at Christmas time and that is when no spiders are around because it is too cold. They only start to emerge when it gets to around 10 degrees celsius.

[@shinaj9626]

You can also strain the clove water for the spray bottle.

[@patrinakimbrough7071]

I should've read this comment first before I clogged my spray bottle😵

I’ve never had roaches but we get plenty of flies and ants. This will come in handy! 😊

[@horacejohnson1730]

I lived with some people once temporarily and when you turned off the lights at night and quickly flipped them back on, there were a billion roaches crawling all over everything! You couldn't even cook in the house because the moment you left the kitchen to use the rest room and went back to the stove, a half million roaches would be mixed into what ever it was you were cooking. The people who owned the home were literally eating roaches for onions! They thought it was onions because of the crunchiness but it was the roaches that got cooked into the food! I NEVER ate there! I don't think this method would have stopped what was going on in that house.

A long time ago in Russia, I simply went to the pharmacy and bought clove cologne and mixed it with clove oil, which I bought at the pharmacy there. It was even more effective

[@tvtothepoint]

If you don't have dogs, cats or small children in home you can use boric. Sprinkle on kitchen crevices around border of kitchen. Under boarder of couches and other rooms. Or DE food grade if you do have animals. DE food grade can also be used on fogs as a flea and tick deterrent. It is crushed crustacean, gets on their outsides and dries them from outside in.

[@Isis-eq1dz]

Lol seriously though mannn them MFS can survive ANYTHING 😂😂😂

[@soniamugeni9195]

Boric did not work for the roaches. After a while thet started walking across it

[@cjd5255]

@@soniamugeni9195 It's not immediate. As far as I know it coats them and then they bring it back to where the others are. Slowly dying. Maybe adding peppermint essential oil. Most bugs do not like the scent. I use in my garden. Again not good if have pets.

Lavender works as well. You don't even need real lavender. Lavender scented vinegar or cleaning products works just as good.

[@liezeloktober-lm8hw]

Flies hate lavender, should grow them in pots outside your house

It works. I had flies all around my front door. I sprayed on the inside and outside my door and no more flies within minutes. Preparing more to spray around all the windows of the house and garage

[@therealdeal3672]

Cat and dog owners should be warned that all of these plant oils that would be implicated in this fix and the ones listed in the comments section are highly toxic to cats end dogs. So if I were to implement this it would be outside on window sills and door thresholds. I would not put this where my pets could get it even walking around or sniffing it. You got to think about these things. Pesticides are not the only things that are toxic. I would treat this type of concoction exactly the same as pesticides when it comes to the well-being of my pets.

Somebody's grandma from down south showed her how to do that, Down Southern Grandmama does my grandma did that back in the sixties and seventies because there was no stores so they had to make their own repellent and this is how she did it 🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️ there she go with that word "DISCOVER," 😏😏😏😏😏

Eucalyptus oil in a spray bottle with a little soap to emulsify it works just as well.

Bay (laurel) leaves grow allover Portugal.The Romans brought it for their crowns and the no Moors used it for food and house cleansing. The trees are now like native. When I visit Portugal I cut many branches which I dry in the sun and bring them dried for spicing and put in cupboards. It gives a nice scent. Excellent in food and canning. Very common in the Mediterranean and Africa.

[@elainecamarillo8306]

Using plain rubbing alcohol works great. Pour it in your spray bottle and spray insects and their path. The alcohol lasts even after drying up. No sticky mess...

[@lky885]

It didn't really seem to last once it's dried up from what I've experienced but it definitely is a great bug spray.. gets rid of just about anything in seconds. I've been using it for years

[@w9906]

Will it work on spiders?

[@deborahhenderson149]

​@@w9906Im trying to find something to get rid of spiders also but I have just had an idea. What if you spray them with hairspray? Will they then just become stiff and not be able to run away? Not sure but it is worth a try. someone else said chestnuts for spiders but I have never tried it as can only see chestnuts sold Xmastime and no spiders running around in winter.

[@757Princess]

@@w9906 yes! Spiders also breathe thru their skin. The alcohol basically suffocates them. Soapy water works too. I like 100% rubbing alcohol because it sanitizes too
