Ingredients:
1 cup of liquid detergent
2 cups of alcohol or apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of cloves
1/4 cup of water
Instructions:
Begin by boiling 1/4 cup of water in a saucepan.
Once the water is boiling, add the cloves and let them simmer for about 10 minutes. This process infuses the water with the clove's natural repellent properties.
While the cloves are simmering, in a separate container, mix together 1 cup of liquid detergent and 2 cups of alcohol or apple cider vinegar. This combination forms the base of your repellent.
After the cloves have simmered for 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let the clove-infused water cool down.
Once cooled, combine the clove water with the detergent and alcohol or vinegar mixture. Stir gently to avoid creating too much foam.
Transfer the final solution into a spray bottle equipped with a diffuser nozzle for easy application.
How to Use:
Spray the repellent in areas where insects are commonly found, particularly around entry points to prevent them from coming into your home.
Regularly clean surfaces to remove food residues and potential insect attractants. This also helps to eliminate any insect eggs and larvae.
This DIY insect repellent is not only effective but also a healthier alternative to store-bought chemicals, ensuring a safer environment for your home.Ingredients:
