Natural Insect Repellent with Onions and Cloves
The mix of onions and cloves isn’t just for cooking—it’s also a time-tested natural insect repellent. Used across cultures, this simple combination helps keep flies, mosquitoes, and other bugs away.
Why It Works:
-
Onions release sulfur compounds and essential oils that insects dislike.
-
Cloves contain eugenol, a natural insecticide with antiseptic properties.
How to Make It:
-
Cut an onion in half.
-
Insert cloves into the cut side.
-
Place the halves near windows, doors, or bug-prone areas.
This safe, eco-friendly alternative to chemical sprays is both effective and affordable, making it a great year-round solution for a pest-free home.
