CLEAN ROUTINE

No one likes to have bugs around their kitchen, but neither should you be spraying poison around there. Try these healthy and ecofriendly options to keep your home bug free:

1 For ants, sprinkle cinnamon powder, baking soda or talc powder on the affected areas or on ant trails. Coffee grounds and powdered garlic around pots and pet bowls should also do the trick.

2 Vanilla essence is also a good anti-bug weapon if the smell of citronella is too strong for you during pregnancy. Burn some vanilla candles around your home to keep flying bugs out.

3 Plant lavender outside your bedroom windows. Flies and mosquitoes don’t like the scent of lavender. You can also use lavender sachets to protect your clothes against fish moths. Bay leaves in your food cupboard will keep weasels away.
