Natural insect repellents that can be made in our home

 Natural insect homemade repellents 



If the use of an insecticide can completely destroy the pests, we will have to spray again to destroy the pests that escape from it, and in doing so the insects will become resistant and destructive. Frequent spraying of pesticides like this will make the soil sterile, there will be no beneficial organisms, the environment will be affected and we who eat the resulting vegetables will be harmed. This also applies to home and terrace gardening. To cope with all this we can switch to organic farming and use natural pesticides. In this article, we will look at how to easily make insect repellent with home-made ingredients,


Pests such as insects can be extremely irritating around the home and garden. Some people choose to apply pesticides, chemicals which kill unwanted visitors, but pesticides can have a negative impact on the health of plants, humans, other animals, and the environment. As a result, some consumers choose to use natural pesticides derived from plant extracts. Many of these natural pesticides are just as effective as their chemical counterparts, but they are far less toxic. Non-harmful pesticides are also an important part of organic and natural gardening.

Neem leaf



The first thing that appears to us as a natural insect repellent is a birch, which is used medically and to repel insects and worms. It does not cause any harm to animals, birds, or plants. There are three ways to make this pesticide. You can put one tip of neem leaf in water and spray it on the plants.


Saline solution


This saline solution is a low-cost insect repellent. It is best to mix salt in a bucket of water and spray it on your garden plants (use only for spraying and do not forget to pour over the plant)


Onion-Garlic solution



Chop the onion and garlic and put in a bowl and add water. Add even a little bit of pepper and set aside in the morning. Insect repellent will be ready in the evening. Its smell does not keep insects away from plants.


Eucalyptus oil


The dense smell of this oil repels insects. Mix eucalyptus oil with soap and water. Do it once a week to get good results


Marigold flower


This flower contains a natural chemical called pyrethrum. When sprayed with neem solution it prevents the sexual part of the insects from laying eggs but when sprayed with this marigold flower solution it attacks the nervous system and kills insects or worms immediately. Take dried marigold flowers, boil them in water for 20 minutes, and then spray them in a bottle. Mixing neem oil with this and spraying will give good results.

7 Big Impact Dwarf Flowering Shrubs

Scale with dwarf flowering shrubs Big gardens have a season in life, and we have unlimited energy to maintain perennial gardens and a quarter-acre vegetable patch that produces enough food for the entire neighborhood. But if you have a balcony garden or small garden three floors up when you're starting out, you can still use dwarf shrubs to create a beautiful outdoor living space. Dwarf shrubs are perfect for small space gardens When thoughtfully designed, a small space garden can be as visually appealing and emotionally pleasing as a sprawling yard. No need to sacrifice your favorite shrubs like roses and lilacs. You need to choose the right size varieties to match the size of the space. A short hedge or even a casket of flowering shrubs may be just what you need to make your patio feel like "home." Dual purpose dwarf shrubs One key to making the most of any space—but especially a small one—is choosing plants with a dual purpose. Peach sorbet blueberries pro

It's not a yellow ladybug - it's an invasive Asian lady beetle

It's not a yellow ladybug They are similar, but one type helps control unwanted pests in the garden, while the other is a pest. Here's how to tell them apart. You usually want to see a ladybug in your garden, but the yellow ladybug doesn't look like one — it's an Asian beetle. Ladybugs are beneficial to your garden because they eat plant pests. However, many colored Asian beetles look like yellow ladybugs, but have turned out to be an insect. It is common to find large numbers of Asian lady beetles congregating in houses and other buildings in the fall. They can bite and emit an unpleasant odor when disturbed. Unfortunately, these invasive insects crowd out native ladybugs. If you can tell the difference between two pests, you can stop an annoying problem before it starts. Asian Lady Beetles vs Ladybugs You can identify a ladybug by its markings and size. There are many species, and most sport red shells and varying numbers of black spots. Their heads are b

11 Succulents That'll Grow Without Bright Light

 Low light Succulents  Even in a home with limited natural light, you can keep plants, including succulents. There are many low-light succulents that can grow without bright light. They may not thrive or grow as easily as partial or bright light, but they are available. Most succulents are drought tolerant, which means you don't need to water as often, so they're fairly easy to care for once you learn their needs. Can succulents grow in low light? Succulents can grow in low light, although they will not grow as well as in bright, indirect light. They cannot grow in complete darkness, so try to find at least a partially shaded spot. They may start to grow a little leggy as they seek sun, but you can prune and propagate to adjust their appearance. 1. Desert rose The thick, fleshy leaves of this succulent retain water, so you don't need to water as often. The desert rose gets its name from its habitat and its resemblance to a rose. 2.
