The heat is slowly returning, and with it comes the appearance of pests and reptiles that invade your home. Surprisingly, garlic can be of great help in this situation. Its potent odor is particularly disliked by lizards and insects.
Garlic is a versatile ingredient that adds a unique and subtle flavor to our favorite dishes. Known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, garlic can also help you combat a recurring problem in your home.
If lizards and insects continue to show up despite your efforts to keep them away, you can try using garlic. Place a clove or several cloves of garlic on your terrace, balcony, or kitchen. Focus on dark, shady corners and any openings or cracks in the walls.
Another technique involves using garlic in a different way. Mince the garlic and mix it with water. Pour the obtained juice into a spray bottle and spray the areas where you’ve noticed lizard activity. Pay particular attention to the exterior areas of the house, such as the balcony and terrace, focusing on dark areas near the windows. These are the favorite spots for these reptiles.
