-
Pour the white vinegar into the jar or bowl.
-
Add the cloves and lemon slices into the vinegar.
-
Drop in the essential oil of your choice—eucalyptus is particularly effective against mosquitoes and flies.
-
Mix gently and place the jar or bowl in strategic spots around your home—especially windowsills, kitchen corners, near garbage bins, or dark, damp areas.
Tip: You can also soak a cotton ball in the mixture and leave it in small containers in cabinets or under sinks to deter cockroaches.
🪰 How It Works:
-
Vinegar: The strong acidic smell disrupts insects’ sense of direction.
-
Cloves: Contain eugenol, a powerful natural insect repellent.
-
Eucalyptus oil: Its scent overwhelms pests and keeps them far away.
-
Lemon: Refreshing for humans, but a no-go zone for flies and mosquitoes.
This combination creates an environment that is unbearable for flies, mosquitoes, and cockroaches, without putting any humans or pets at risk.
📍 Where to Place It:
-
In the kitchen (especially near fruits or trash)
-
By windows and doors
-
In the bathroom
-
Near pet food bowls
-
Inside cupboards or pantries
🔁 Refresh Weekly:
For maximum effect, replace the mixture once a week or whenever the smell fades. This ensures the aroma stays strong enough to repel pests consistently.
✅ Bonus Tips to Keep Pests Away:
-
Keep your kitchen and trash bins clean.
-
Fix any leaking pipes or moisture issues (cockroaches love damp places).
-
Don’t leave food uncovered.
-
Use mesh on windows to block insect entry.
