Flies, mosquitoes, and cockroaches are common household pests that can be a real nuisance. Fortunately, there’s a natural, easy, and effective way to keep them out of your home for good. This method uses ingredients you likely already have at home, and it works wonders in just one hour!
Why This Method Works
The secret to this technique lies in the combination of natural repellents that are unpleasant to pests but safe for humans and pets. Here’s how you can prepare and use this solution effectively.
What You’ll Need
1 small bowl or plate
1 lemon (or lime)
10–15 cloves (whole, not ground)
A few drops of essential oils (optional: eucalyptus, peppermint, or citronella)
How to Prepare the Natural Repellent
Slice the Lemon
Cut the lemon in half horizontally, exposing the juicy interior.
Insert the Cloves
Stick the cloves into the surface of the lemon halves. Space them evenly for maximum effect.
Enhance with Essential Oils (Optional)
