People's Councils
1. Trap. To make it, you can take a small plastic bottle. Put some fruit scraps, syrup or honey inside. Put the bottle in the kitchen in the evening, and in the morning you just need to screw the cap on and throw away the trap.
2. Pour 1/4 of water, 1 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp. of liquid soap into a glass jar. Mix all the ingredients and leave the jar in an open place. The midges will flock to the vinegar and get stuck in the soapy liquid.
3. Midges do not like wormwood. And to prevent the pest from bothering you, it is a good idea to keep a supply of this herb in the house or find camphor oil.
4. There are probably some aromatic herbs in your kitchen cupboard. The ones that midges like the least are basil and rosemary, thyme, cloves, and mint. You can make an infusion of all these herbs in 0.5 liters of boiling water, then strain and add 1 tbsp. of alcohol (vodka). Use for spraying.
5. Of the industrial products, the safest for the kitchen are sticky tapes, but their presence spoils the appearance.
