Bed bugs in a house are an unpleasant situation that needs to be fought at the first sign of parasites. Destruction of bugs is a very laborious process, however, there are many different ways that will help get rid of them, including folk remedies.
Folk remedies in the fight against parasites such as bedbugs can only help if they have recently appeared, if there are very few of them and you definitely know their specific habitat. By and large, getting rid of bedbugs with folk remedies is quite difficult, because such methods basically only scare away insects. But if for some reason you do not want to buy chemicals, for example, you are afraid for children or pets, then you can use the most effective methods.
If you notice bugs in small numbers, you can walk with a vacuum cleaner in the most prominent places, as well as in the corners. Processing with boiling water all the cracks in the skirting boards, doorways, seams of the sofa and other suspected habitats will help get rid of the bulk of the parasites. The use of liquids with a pungent persistent odor, such as turpentine, kerosene, salicylic acid and vinegar, will also scare away pests.
The use of herbs in the fight against bugs
An effective way to combat bedbugs is to use tansy and wormwood. Wormwood is a bitter grass with a persistent aroma that a person may not even notice. But the smell of this grass for a bug is a truly deterrent. Nevertheless, wormwood can only scare insects, but will not contribute to their extinction.
Tansy grows only in summer, it is a fairly poisonous plant with yellow flowers. Bed bugs will not be able to live next to tansy and simply run away. But, unfortunately, tansy is a fairly toxic plant, so you should not use it if children and pets live in the apartment. You need to tansy spread out throughout the apartment, only in this case the insects will not flee to another room, but really from your house.
