WITH spider season fast approaching, there\u2019s never been a better time to bug proof your home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luckily a property pro has come to the rescue and unveiled three easy home hacks to protect you and your family this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Social media influencer Chantel Mila demonstrated each of her ideas in turn, as she told her followers: \u201cSay goodbye to bugs + spiders entering your home.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then asked: \u201cWhich trick will you try first?\u201d<\/p>\n
Up first, Chantel, aka <\/strong>@mama_mila_, explained that if you mix one cup of water with some rosemary sprigs, you have your very own DIY spider-proof spray.<\/p>\n Chantel added: \u201cSpray on windows and doors \u2013 spiders hate the smell of rosemary, so it repels them from entering your home.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As the Aussie woman, who is based in Melbourne, explained, rosemary is a great natural repellent for spiders.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s also not going to cause any major issues with the ambience of your home.\u00a0<\/p>\n As Evie Lane, a gardening Expert at Primrose, told Country Living:\u00a0 \u201cMost spider-deterring plants have a strong odour since aromatic plants are generally more effective at repelling insects \u2013 but they still smell great in your home too.\u201d<\/p>\n She later added: \u201cRosemary is faintly scented for the human nose but releases an intense odour to spiders.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n This leads nicely onto Chantel\u2019s second tip \u2013 this time to stop fruit flies from buzzing around.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n She said: \u201cPour boiling water down the drain to deter fruit flies and their eggs.\u201d<\/p>\n Again, this has proven effective with many in the past.<\/p>\n An article in Which? recommended the method, as the experts explained: \u201cFlies often lay their eggs in drains.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cPour boiling water down the plughole to kill fruit fly eggs and larvae, which can usually survive typical water flow.\u201d<\/p>\n Rosemary is faintly scented for the human nose but releases an intense odour to spiders<\/p>\n They added: \u201cIf you're going on holiday, flush through the kitchen sink to remove any residues that might be attractive to fruit flies.\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, Chantel told her 1.3 million TikTok followers that the last thing she\u2019d come to swear by was equally simple.\u00a0<\/p>\n She said: \u201cAdd orange oil<\/span> to your mop to repel crawling insects.\u201d<\/p>\n The scented oil is meant to be great at keeping household pests away \u2013 and for long periods<\/span> of time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But she added a warning to pet owners, as she encouraged them to \u201cuse discretion before using essential oils\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fabulous will pay for your exclusive stories.
