One of the biggest challenges, when it comes to the care and cleaning of our homes, is keeping away insects that may have literally invaded it. Among the most frequent unwanted guests we find ants, cockroaches and even fleas .
There is a myriad of products on the market to eliminate any type of insect . However, their extraordinary effectiveness is due to the enormous amount of chemical (and toxic) substances contained in their formula.
Below we suggest a do-it-yourself, economical and effective solution to eliminate fleas, ants and cockroaches from our homes.
You need :
- 250 ml of liquid detergent
- 500 ml of alcohol or apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of cloves

Preparation :
- Start by bringing the 50 ml of water to the boil in a saucepan.
- Once it comes to a boil, add the cloves and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the liquid detergent and alcohol (or apple cider vinegar).
- After 10 minutes, turn off the stove and let the clove infusion cool.
