To the forest, insects can spoil quiet summer evening or walk. Flies not just interfere with the hum, but also transfer on bacillus claws, and stings of mosquitoes and midges are capable to inflict a lot of suffering, especially on people with allergic reaction. In fight against insects any means are good. Including national.
We catch...
To get rid of the flying torturers, it is possible to make trap. Make for mosquitoes cocktail in special glass. For this purpose cut off top of one-and-a-half-meter plastic bottle, and in the lower part mix 200 ml of warm water from 50 g of sugar. Add 1 g of yeast (without mixing), insert the cut-off top into bottle neck down. Fix edges by adhesive tape, envelop trap paper and stand in the dark warm corner. Change mosquito drink each two weeks.
For flies the treat is even simpler. Pour in old glass or to bank jam or sugar syrup (no more, than on third of volume). Contract cone from paper and insert it in bank so that the opening did not reach jam surface a little.
For capture of small unpleasant drosophilas cut off slice of overripe banana and put in bank which needs to be covered instead of cover with polyethylene on elastic band. In film puncture with thick needle several holes. To clean trap, one of openings is a little expanded, pour water and simply rinse midges.
Besides, it is in addition possible to suspend several traditional mukhoulovitel. For this purpose take old compact disks, tie to them strings, grease surface with honey from two parties, take 10 minutes in the freezer and suspend so that not to hit against traps the head. In hot day the disks need to be cleaned regularly and to freeze slightly.
… also we frighten
The old way to disperse the flying insects is to suspend fresh bouquet of tansy under ceiling. When withering the plant allocates smell which mosquitoes and flies do not take out. With the same purpose place on the house of saucer with the cut fresh leaves and flowers of bird cherry or basil.
Also indoors it is possible to evaporate fragrant oils in the aromalamp: camphor, clove, eucalyptus, anisic. For this purpose pour into saucer of lamp a little water and add 3-5 drops of oil. The same oils it is possible to drip on the lamp lamp shade, edge of electric stove, on candle or in fire. The cotton wool moistened with oil is also put on windowsill. The effect of smell of carnation can be used and applying the cologne of the same name.
Among useful oils – extract of tea tree: not only frightens off midges and mosquitoes, but also softens the naggers from sting. And cedar oil is not pleasant also to flies with cockroaches.
All these oils can be replaced with special candles: they will not just frighten off bloodsuckers, but also will create romantic atmosphere at the dacha. The main thing to consider the direction of wind if you place them on the site for evening sit-round gathering on porch or in gazebo. And wipe table for street tea drinking with vinegar – flies will almost not sit down on it.
Places, strategically important for rest, on the site can be set with tomatoes and elder to drive away flies and midge and also Persian (or Caucasian) camomile. If it is not a pity for the place – plant normal wormwood. Under windows place bird cherry tree.
All these ways show different efficiency at many people. So it is worth combining them and from time to time to change. And if to the house after all flies have made the way, try to replace fly swatter or the folded newspaper with brush on stick. Insects will perish at blow in bristle and will not spoil disgusting spot clean walls and floor.
