Picture this: you’re enjoying a peaceful afternoon at home, free from the annoyance of pesky flies and mosquito bites. What if, in your spice cupboard, you found the key to this tranquil life? Presenting a fragrant, all-natural remedy for cockroaches, flies, and mosquitoes: bay leaves and cloves. This time-honored method is beloved in kitchens all around the world for its dual purpose: enhancing the flavor of your food and keeping unwanted bugs at bay. Let’s have a look at how these two basic substances may keep bugs away from your house.
The Power Couple: Cloves and Bay Leaves
Cloves and bay leaves are well-known for their culinary applications, but they have many other uses as well. Flies, mosquitoes, and cockroaches are just a few of the home pests that can’t stand the perfume that these fragrant spices provide, even if it smells great to people. You may make your space uninhabitable to these pests by using the oils and chemicals found in cloves and bay leaves.
How to Make an All-Natural Pest Deterrent
Making this repellant couldn’t be easier, and chances are you already have all the ingredients on hand. The process is as follows:
Collect All of Your Materials: Dry bay leaves (about a handful) and cloves (about a tablespoon) are required. The amount is less critical than the strength of the perfume in permeating the region you wish to safeguard.
You may use these components in two different ways, so make your mixture anyway you choose. One option is to stuff little bowls or sachets with whole cloves and bay leaves, and then scatter them throughout your house, paying special attention to the spots where bugs are a problem. Another option is to add bay leaves and cloves to water and stew them gently for one hour for a stronger solution. You may use the steam to disperse the repellant scent all throughout your house.
