There is no need to disdain folk recipes that allow you to fight insect pests, including those that live in apartments.

Of the latter, the most troublesome is caused by moths. They can eat clothes, linens, and food products.

Before using industrial preparations, it makes sense to think about folk recipes.

Garlic

It turns out that the smell of this plant causes discomfort to the insect. You can leave the plant's cloves in places where the pest is likely to appear, including in kitchen cabinets and on shelves. It will take some time to get used to the persistent garlic smell, but the result will not be long in coming.

Vinegar

Insects also don’t like its smell, and it is also used to treat shelves and cabinets in the kitchen after food moths have been eliminated.

Vinegar will allow you to physically deal with the offspring of the moth, which may be hiding in hard-to-reach places.

Geranium

Not everyone notices this unpretentious plant, and completely in vain. Geranium in the bedroom solves sleep problems, and this beautiful flower also effectively fights moths. The pest does not like the smell and substances that geranium leaves emit.

In addition to moths, the plant can also repel other indoor pests.
