The benefits of placing a bag of peppercorns under the bed.
Odor Prevention
If you use the under-bed space to store shoes or clothing, it is advisable to place a bag of peppercorns nearby. Peppercorns are effective in eliminating odors and keeping the space fresh and clean. It is important to ensure the peppercorns remain whole.
When employing this method, remember to regularly check and replace the peppercorns to maintain their effectiveness. Over time, peppercorns may lose their ability to absorb odors.
Insect Repellent
Peppercorns possess antiseptic and antiparasitic properties, and they can combat and inhibit the growth of certain harmful bacteria. Additionally, black peppercorns are effective against houseflies and prevent them from laying eggs. Placing peppercorns under the bed can help keep insects like mosquitoes and flies at bay.
Furthermore, to quickly repel flies, one can mix black peppercorns with sugar and egg yolk, and then place this mixture on a small plate in areas where flies are prevalent.

Shoe Deodorizer
During the hot summer months, the body tends to perspire more, especially in the foot area if wearing shoes regularly. This creates a favorable environment for bacterial growth, resulting in unpleasant odors.
In such cases, placing a bag of peppercorns inside the shoes can be a solution. The strong aroma of peppercorns can overpower the shoe odor, effectively neutralizing it.
Bathroom Deodorizer
In the summer, bathrooms can emit unpleasant odors due to the presence of small insects like mosquitoes and cockroaches. Placing a bag of peppercorns in the bathroom can help disperse a pleasant aroma, effectively eliminating any foul smells.
