Bugs on Bouquets

Sugargirl1019 · May 2014

I have my bridal pictures bouquet on display on the kitchen table - and there are little black gnat looking bugs on the roses (and they fly). I have people coming over and don't want the bugs to freak them out.

Any ideas on homemade concoctions to keep the bugs off or to make them go away?

You can spritz with 3 parts water/1 part vinegar/a teaspoon of dish soap, but the flowers won't smell so nice anymore.

Haha vinegar flowers! But I might give that a try. Thank you!

I would probably throw it out if it is getting buggy.

I don't really equate "bugs on it" to being "buggy." Bugs will always be attracted to flowers; it doesn't mean they're bad.

I know, but I don't like bugs in my house, so if there were bugs on flowers in my house, I would get rid of them.

Touché.

Leave out a glass or container of wine on your counter. They'll go for it and drown. If it's red wine, nobody will see the drowned bugs.

Haha! With a sign "please do not drink!" FI will probably come along and be like mmmm wine!

But the sign has to rhyme. And be on a chalkboard.

With all respect to sentiment, time to get rid of the flowers. Bugs like to breed, and they breed quickly. Stop that shit before it starts.

My MOH used it for my bridal shower today and now it will go in the trash haha.
