Here’s a natural and effective method to expel insects during the summer, especially common ones like mosquitoes, flies, and ants:

2. Plant Insect-Repelling Herbs 🌱

Place pots of these plants near windows, balconies, or your garden:
• Basil (repels flies and mosquitoes)
• Mint (repels ants and spiders)
• Lemongrass (contains citronella)
• Lavender (repels mosquitoes and moths)

3. Keep Your Space Clean & Dry 🧼

• Seal food in containers and clean crumbs immediately.
• Take out the trash regularly.
• Avoid standing water (in plant trays, buckets, etc.) — it attracts mosquitoes.

4. Use Vinegar Traps (for flies and fruit flies) 🪰

• Fill a small bowl with apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap.
• Cover with plastic wrap, poke small holes, and place near problem areas.
