This natural concoction is said to rid your home of insects
With the amount of ants moving around Durban at the moment, this is definitely worth a try.
With the inconsistent weather patterns of extreme heat and then chilly winds, we have noticed an increase in insects.
From ants to cockroaches, we can say with confidence that pests aren't welcome in any household. Unless you are an Entomologist, of course.
It is for this reason that we were elated to find a video that shared a natural insect repellent recipe.
In a video shared to TikTok, we see a recipe using all-natural ingredients to create a spray solution.
