7 Natural Tips to Get Rid of Midges in the Kitchen
Few things are as annoying as tiny midges buzzing around your kitchen, especially when you’re trying to prepare meals or enjoy a snack. These little insects can seem impossible to shake, but before reaching for harsh chemicals, try these 7 natural tips to get rid of midges quickly and effectively — all using simple ingredients and techniques you can find right at home.
1. Keep Your Kitchen Clean and Dry
Midges are attracted to food residues, damp surfaces, and standing water. Regularly wipe down counters, clean up crumbs, and avoid leaving dirty dishes in the sink. Don’t forget to dry the sink and wipe up any spills promptly.
2. Use Apple Cider Vinegar Traps
Apple cider vinegar attracts midges because of its fermentation smell. Fill a small bowl with apple cider vinegar, cover it loosely with plastic wrap, and poke a few small holes on top. Midges enter but can’t escape, trapping them naturally.
3. Set Up a Red Wine Trap
Like apple cider vinegar, red wine’s sweet aroma lures midges. Pour a bit of red wine into a glass, cover with plastic wrap, and poke holes. It’s an effective, natural way to catch midges.
4. Create a Dish Soap and Water Spray
Mix a few drops of natural dish soap with water in a spray bottle. The soapy water will break down the insects’ protective coating and kill them on contact. Spray around windowsills, fruit bowls, and other hotspots.
