Insects appear in the house if you forget to clean and take out the trash on time.
Midges will settle even in those apartments where there is perfect order and cleanliness. And one of the reasons for the appearance of insects in the house are considered to be indoor flowers.
Houses with lots of flowers have humidity from constant watering, which attracts insects. They like to settle in flower pots and lay eggs in the soil.
However, the presence of midges is fraught with danger.
Why are midges dangerous?
When midges attack, poison gets into the wound, which causes a severe allergic reaction. The disease begins with itching, swelling and redness.
What are midges afraid of in the house?
Midges cannot stand strong smells. Anything that smells strong will scare away the insects and make them run away from your home.
How to drive away midges
Traps and insecticides are mainly used. Folk remedies that quickly and effectively repel insects cope with midges.
Among them: essential oils, cloves, garlic, horseradish, lemon, tomatoes, geranium, which can be planted in a flower pot, and bay leaf.
It is enough to crush a few bay leaves and sprinkle them into flower pots or sprinkle them with soil.
After a few days, you will see that the gnats will disappear.
