However, not many people know that simple bay leaves are enough to solve problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bay leaves<\/strong> are powerful allies against the hated moths! <\/strong> They slide through drawers and cabinet doors, making holes in the precious wood of our furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To scare them away, you will only need to put 4-5 bay leaves <\/strong>in a cotton bag<\/strong> or even a piece of cloth and close it all with a ribbon<\/strong> or elastic band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can store it in drawers or near hangers, also giving a pleasant aroma to the interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who hasn’t found butterflies<\/strong> in a package of pasta<\/strong> or flour<\/strong> ? With the arrival of the summer season, it is increasingly common to find them in the pantry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, heat<\/strong> makes them reproduce faster, also contaminating containers that have never been opened and that for this reason cannot be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a similar way to what was seen with moths, you can place a laurel branch<\/strong> on each shelf of the furniture, or even stick it to the inside of the door with the help of delicate adhesive tape<\/strong> such as transparent so as not to cause additional damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will no longer find the butterflies and your food will be protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They are probably the most feared: the silverfish! <\/strong> Very small insects that sneak into our books,<\/strong> damaging their binding and paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avoiding them is very simple, just place 1 or 2 bay leaves<\/strong> between pages<\/strong> or important papers, such as documents and letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your collections will be safe and the pages will be scented!<\/p>\n\n\n\n By now, everyone knows the<\/strong> appropriate ages of laurel, and among them, the most famous undoubtedly refers to its ability to absorb even the most persistent odors<\/strong> .

Some people use them for cooking, but they are also useful to put in the pantry to keep bugs and butterflies away from the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Already in ancient times it was customary to burn a few bay leaves<\/strong> to purify the rooms of the house.
