I’ve never been a big fan of bugs. And now a days, I particularly don’t want to see anything around Rory. Discovering a spider bite on his chubby legs a few days ago killed me (that was one first I could have done without).
Between the heat and rain this summer, the South Loop has been inundated with a variety of critters. We leave the door open for a few seconds and a million bugs fly in. It’s been tough to find a solution since there are tons of harsh chemicals in sprays that I don’t want to expose Rory to. Marc found an amazing homemade solution on the Gal’s Guide – Life in the Big City After College to attract and kill some of our pests particularly gnats, flies and mosquitoes.
Here’s what you need:
- 3 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 3 drops dish soap
- 2 cups water
Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and leave out in problem area. As you can see from the picture above, it’s worked for us.
