(or check the link on the home page) SUMMARY: I haven’t bought bug spray for ordinary household pests in years. In this video, I share how I use practical pre-war housekeeping methods to remove what attracts insects, block their way in and make each room harder for them to use. I cover simple ways to protect food and woollens, keep cupboards clean and dry, close gaps around doors, inspect damp spaces and deal with ants through cleaning rather than constant spraying. I also explain essential safety precautions and offer a practical cupboard challenge you can try at home. Subscribe to my channel for more useful lessons from the old way of keeping a house.
