How to get rid of midges at home: folk remedies
Pour water into a glass jar. Add some apple cider vinegar and dish soap. Place the trap in the place where the midges accumulate. The smell that the vinegar emits is very attractive to insects, and the agent added to the water prevents the midge from getting out. Most of the midges will fall into a trap.
Horseradish will help from biting midges. Put pieces of the peeled plant root in a plastic bag and leave it open. Insects are irritated by the spicy-burning aroma, and therefore they try to leave the apartment as soon as possible.
Leave the banana peel in the bag overnight. By morning, all the midges that live in the kitchen will flock to its smell.
The main thing in this method is to quickly tie the bag so that the insects do not have time to scatter.
Pour a little sweet liquid on the bottom of the plastic cup, and close it on top with a layer of cling film. Now you need to make several small holes in it with a thick needle. That’s it, the trap is ready. The midges will now creep through the holes, attracted by the sweet scent. But they won’t be able to get out.
Sometimes midges actively penetrate the house from the sewer pipes. What to do in this case? Washbasin pipes and sinks must be treated with any means to prevent blockages. They will help to remove blockages both in the pipes themselves and in the siphons. If there is nothing at home, then ordinary soda quenched with vinegar should be poured into the drain.
Conventional fumigators, which are used to kill mosquitoes, do well with midges. Let the device work during the day and the gnats will disappear.
