When trying to have a home without mosquitoes, the best solutions are often the easiest and most natural. Picture turning an empty Raid bottle into a protector that repels annoying insects by using only cloves. Yes, you understood correctly! This simple tip is not just easy, but also good for the environment. It helps you have a peaceful night without mosquitoes bothering you.
The Strength of Cloves: A Natural Insect Repellent
Cloves, the small spices we usually link to holiday desserts and warm drinks, have a special power besides being used in cooking. They naturally keep mosquitoes away because of their strong smell that mosquitoes really don't like. This tasty spice could help you keep pests away from your home.
How to Create Your Own Mosquito Repellent
The process is very easy. Begin with an empty bottle of Raid or any other empty insect repellent bottle you may have. Ensure the bottle is clean and dry. Then, put a few whole cloves inside. You don't need to count the cloves precisely, but a good tip is to fill the bottle at least one-fourth full to make sure the smell is strong and keeps mosquitoes away.
Then, if the bottle can hold water, fill it up. This step is not required, but it can help spread the smell of the cloves better in your room. After filling them, put the bottle(s) in places where mosquitoes are a big issue, like close to windows, doors, or in outdoor spaces.
