Bed bugs are a real nightmare for many people. These are insects that generally feed on vegetables and fruits and can often invade our plants, our gardens and orchards, but also enter the house attracted by food. Their main characteristic is to emit a powerful odor , a tactic they use as a weapon to deter predators. For this reason, too, it is certainly advisable not to crush them. Let’s see how to remove them .

Methods to keep bed bugs away: here are the most effective ones

One of the most effective ways to keep bed bugs out of the house is undoubtedly mosquito nets. It is a barrier that keeps all insects away, including bed bugs, and can be easily used in any type of home. It can be attached to windows and doors.

Specific products should not be underestimated either. These are products that are ecologically sustainable in most cases and basically take advantage of the movements of these insects, trap them and then release them into nature without killing them. In fact, they drive them away in a sustainable and non-aggressive way.

Did you know that garlic is also particularly effective? One of the most interesting and useful natural remedies for parasites of all kinds, especially those that invade the garden. You can make a real decoction , which you can then spray on the affected areas or on the plants that we have in the garden. In this way, bed bugs are effectively repelled.

There is another very useful decoction based on Artemisia . This remedy is equally effective, especially when used in vegetable gardens.

Helpful Tips

Unfortunately, bed bugs are insidious insects. Very often they can hide in the most unlikely places: even in the folds of clothes hanging outdoors! It is no coincidence that they often manage to get into the house in this way.

Therefore, before bringing your clothes into the house, it would be useful to take a look at all the areas where parasites can enter. Check different pockets and folds. In general, to protect plants and pots with plants, you can also opt for a very effective “tactical” means.

In fact, you can alternate the variety of vegetables and fruits present in the garden, avoiding those that generally attract bed bugs more than others. Corn and basil, for example, are among the most “tasty” products and if we could do without growing them, it would be an achievement!
