Outside the window it is spring, which will soon be replaced by summer with its hot days and wide-open windows.

This means that all sorts of creatures will crawl into the house, with ants at the forefront.

To discourage insects from appearing on your doorstep, or more precisely, on your windowsill, you should take care of building a reliable barrier in advance.

Don't worry, you won't need to build a real wall - you just need to use smell.

To create an insurmountable obstacle, you will need an ordinary lemon.

Cut the rind off the citrus and wrap it in gauze. A bandage will also do.

Now you should gather the edges of the fabric to form a bag and tie it with a thread.

Such a "repeller" should be placed on every window sill in the house. Having smelled the lemon aroma, the parasites themselves will not want to appear in such an "inhospitable", in their opinion, home.
