What scents will drive insects out of the house: not all housewives know

Even an ordinary city apartment can have unpleasant "neighbors" in the form of insects.

There is no need to tolerate their presence at all.

There are a number of ways to get rid of "lodgers". Don't forget about aromas that will drive insects out of the apartment.

What to look out for

Lavender

This flower is used more often than others, as it has a pleasant aroma for humans and does not allow many insects to remain in the house.

For this reason, lavender is often the main ingredient for various aromatic sachets.

Basil

Not everyone knows that this plant can be successfully used to fight ants if necessary. Both basil leaves and the corresponding essential oil are effective.

Geranium

Both the indoor flower and the essential oil based on it have beneficial properties. Thanks to geranium, you can forget about mosquitoes and ticks.

Also, the scent of geranium is unpleasant to flies. Therefore, the plant is often placed on the windowsill.
