Eating onions and garlic daily has apparently been debunked by science as being ineffective. Even though garlic is a great antibiotic, eating too much can cause stomach problems. Garlic does not discern between good and bad bugs *.
I avoid using hazardous bug sprays around the kitchen and pets. Been using VINEGAR for cleaning and as a bug spray very effectively. It's a deterrent to many flying and crawling insects.
Short while ago I experienced the effect of vinegar first hand. Felt something crawling on my leg. Sprayed the area with vinegar. Shining a light on the area, I discovered and removed a 'comatosed' mosquito. Placed it under a light, identified it as a mosquito, and crushed it.
Vinegar is not necessarily a bug killer, it does keep bugs scurrying in other directions.
In the kitchen I use vinegar for cleaning countertops and cabinets. Works just as well as many commercial cleaning products. I spray the recycle and trash containers.
Bathroom is another place where mosquitoes are attracted to the moisture. Vinegar is a great substitute for commercial glass and time cleaners.
I must admit it took a few days getting used to living in what smells like a salad bar. The smell dissipates, but the effect on surfaces lingers.
