Bay laurel and carnation: repel insects
Repel insects with bay leaves and cloves, known for their repellent properties . These plants have been used for centuries to repel mosquitoes, flies and other annoying insects.
In fact, bay leaves come from the Mediterranean region and contain essential oils that give off a smell that insects find unpleasant . Burning or crushing bay leaves can therefore release these essential oils into the air, creating a natural barrier against insects. Bay leaves are effective both fresh and dried. Dried , this plant’s leaves last up to a year , but fresh leaves can give off a stronger aroma that may be better at keeping cockroaches away.
Cloves, on the other hand, are the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum plant native to Indonesia . Cloves are good for repelling insects and pests because they contain a compound called eugenol , which acts as a natural insect repellent . When cloves are ground or placed in a room, they release eugenol into the air, creating a protective barrier against insects, flies and cockroaches.
Both plants are therefore suitable for natural defense against insects without having to use chemicals that are harmful to human health or the environment . Plus, these ingredients are cheap and easy to find , making them a convenient option for anyone who wants to keep insects away naturally and without spending a lot of money .
