During hot weather, the foul odor coming from the sewer becomes even more unpleasant and attracts various flying insects to inhabit it. So how do you get rid of these small flying insects and the special odor in the bathroom? With this homemade solution, you can solve the problem easily, and here is the detailed instruction.
The main cause of the strong foul odor from the sewer and the attraction of various insects is due to the dirty sewer that is not regularly cleaned. Therefore, the first task is to remove the garbage and dirt inside the sewer.
How to do it: First, we need to prepare beer, a cup or bowl, and regular laundry detergent.
Next, you pour some laundry detergent into the cup or bowl, then add about one can of beer and mix well. After that, you pour the freshly mixed solution into the sewer, and let it sit for about 3 minutes.
Add some hot water into the sewer to completely remove any dirt clinging to the pipe walls.
By doing this, you can eliminate fly or mosquito eggs as well as their larvae while eliminating the foul odor in the sewer.
In addition, you can apply the following method to effectively prevent flying insects and foul odor from escaping the sewer.
First, you prepare a balloon and cut off the bottom part of the balloon. Then, you place the bottom part of the balloon on the drain cover of the bathroom floor drain and reinstall it.
When you flush water, the top part of the balloon will open to let the water drain as usual. When there is no water, the top part of the balloon will seal tightly, effectively preventing foul odors and various insects from escaping the bathroom drain, very practical, isn’t it?
Similarly, you can also apply the “sealed water” trick to prevent foul odors and insects. This is a very simple and easy-to-implement method to eliminate foul odors coming from the drain, with just a plastic bag, you can “get rid of” those unpleasant odors.
How to do it: Fill the plastic bag with water and tightly tie the bag. Then, place the bag directly on the drain/sewer opening to prevent foul odors and insects from escaping.
