Insect-free summer? Here’s how to prepare your home in 5 simple steps

Summer is coming – bringing warm days, cozy evenings… and unfortunately, plenty of insects. But don’t worry! With a few smart adjustments, you can protect your home from mosquitoes, flies, fruit flies, and silverfish. Follow these 5 steps for an insect-free summer.

1. Seal windows and gaps

Prevention is key. Check if your windows and doors close properly and inspect fly screens for holes. Insects often sneak in through small cracks. Use sealing strips or replace damaged screens immediately.

2. Eliminate standing water

Mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water. Think of flowerpots, rain barrels, or plant trays. Empty or cover them regularly. For larger areas like ponds or stables, try Aquatain AMF.

3. Keep your kitchen clean

Fruit flies and ants love leftover food and sugar. Store food in sealed containers, take out the trash daily and wipe down surfaces. Especially in summer, never leave dirty dishes overnight.

4. Install an automatic dispenser

With an automatic dispenser from Insect Free, you’re protected 24/7. It releases a microdose of natural pyrethrum spray every 15 minutes – harmless to humans, deadly to insects. Pair it with refills for the best effect.

5. Protect outdoor spaces

Enjoying your balcony or garden? Protect those areas too. Use an extra dispenser near your seating area or stable and treat stables or patios with natural products like Equinofly. This keeps bugs from coming inside.
