Directions:
Cook the ingredients: Put water, cloves, and bay leaves together in a pot. Heat until boiling and then let it cook gently for 10 minutes to add the insect-repelling effects of cloves (which contain eugenol) and bay leaves to the water.
Cool and Filter: Let the mix cool down before filtering to get rid of any solid pieces.
Include vinegar. Add white vinegar to the cooled mixture. Vinegar makes repellent stronger and increases its effectiveness.
Prepared for immediate use. Put the final mixture into a spray bottle. This multi-purpose repellent can be used to clean surfaces or sprayed in areas where pests are likely to appear, like dining tables, floors, or near windows.
This natural mix uses the strong qualities of cloves and bay leaves to protect your home from flies, mosquitoes, and ants without using harsh chemicals. It is an easy and efficient way to welcome the different seasons without having unwanted insects around.
