When growing flowers on the balcony, I believe everyone does it. But while enjoying the flowers, these little insects bring quite a bit of trouble too. Spraying pesticide on the balcony risks affecting your family's health, so what should you do? Today, the editor will teach you a little trick so you can sit on the balcony drinking tea without being bothered by mosquitoes.

This homemade biological pesticide is - garlic water! Garlic is something every household must have, right? It is a very common cooking ingredient.

First we need to peel off the outer skin of the garlic. As for how much to use, it is actually not that particular. The editor thinks that adding more will naturally give a better effect, and there is no harm in it anyway.

Then put the garlic into a blender, add clean water and blend together. About half a bowl of water is enough.

It is best to filter out the garlic residue with gauze, leaving the garlic water to use. If you think the garlic water smells too strong, you can dilute it with clean water before use. As for the concentration, it depends on your own level of acceptance.

Garlic water does not get rid of insects overnight; it takes some patience. We can spray the garlic water 2-3 times a day, and after persisting for about 3 days you will see results. Moreover, the garlic smell does not dissipate so easily, so the effect will be relatively long-lasting, and it will be a bit better than ordinary methods.

Garlic contains allicin, which can kill bacteria and repel insects, and it will not affect the health of plants or people. It can be said to be an absolutely safe, non-toxic and harmless "green insect-repelling and sterilizing agent". This green insect-repelling and sterilizing agent is not only effective against insects, but can also prevent the occurrence of diseases, and it will not affect your family's health either. Flower lovers who do not want to spray pesticide might as well give it a try.
