Summer is a favorite season for many, but it also brings an unpleasant problem—gnats, flies, and mosquitoes start attacking us. While this might not be a big issue in some areas, in our region, it becomes a significant nuisance. If you want to open a window to enjoy the summer breeze, it can be difficult to escape from these annoying insects.

I found an excellent and simple solution to get rid of these pests. It uses only safe substances and doesn’t require any complicated components or equipment. Here’s what you’ll need: a spray bottle, water, and essential oil with a menthol scent.

Essential Oils: A Great Thing!

I have a large collection of essential oils for various occasions. Nowadays, the selection in pharmacies and online stores is vast, so finding the right option won’t be a problem.

How to prepare the solution

Take about 200 milliliters of water and add 7-8 drops of menthol oil and geranium-scented oil. Pour the resulting mixture into a spray bottle and add another half liter of water. Shake the bottle well.

Application

Spray the room with this solution every 4-5 days.

This is not only a reliable way to get rid of annoying insects, but it also leaves a pleasant fragrance in your home.
