Cleaning expert shares 24p DIY spray to get rid of ants from your home

The cleaning expert also has a DIY insecticide which you can also make yourself at home.

All you have to do is dilute 10-15 drops of peppermint oil in clean, warm water and mix them together well.

Put the mixture into a spray bottle and use it in any areas in which ants are prone.

For those who are looking to create the spray, you can get your hands on peppermint oil for £2.97 from Amazon.

Thankfully ants were not the only pests that Emery shared her top tips on, she shared other insets too.

Maggots

These often be found in your bins so make sure to give it a good scrub using hot soapy water. Then leave it out to dry before adding anything in.

Another tip is to add coffee grounds to the bottom of your bin which can absorb any stench and prevent maggots from returning.

Silverfish

You will have probably seen them appear in the kitchen or the bathroom, as silverfish love moisture and hot tempretures.

However, natural ingredients such as cinnamon and citrus peel can stop them from making an appearance again.

You can also hoover and ventilate the room to remove any dampness from the home to help get rid of them.

Wasps

Peppermint oil also works for wasps.

But this time you will need to make a different solution by adding two tablespoons of dish soap to create your own wasp deterant.

Mosquitos

Annoying as they are mosquitos are pretty easy to get rid of.

All you have to do is cut half a lemon and add cloves into them to give an extra citrusy smell that these pests loathe.
