Midges are repelled by strong herbs like basil, mint, rosemary, and lavender.
Keep small pots of these herbs on your kitchen windowsill or countertop.
6. Clean Drains
Midges often breed in moist drains.
Pour boiling water or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down your sink and drain weekly.
This eliminates eggs and larvae hiding in damp areas.
7. DIY Midge Spray
Mix water with a few drops of essential oils such as eucalyptus, tea tree, or peppermint.
Spray around countertops, windowsills, and near trash bins.
This keeps midges away naturally without chemicals.
Conclusion
Midges are small but bothersome, especially in kitchens. Using natural methods like traps, citrus, herbs, and maintaining cleanliness can help you reclaim your kitchen without harmful chemicals.
