Cloves, derived from the dried flower buds of the Indonesian plant Syzygium aromaticum, are also potent in pest control. They contain eugenol, a natural repellent that, when released into the air, forms a defensive shield against insects.
Affordable and Natural Pest Control Using these plants provides a safe, chemical-free method of repelling insects, beneficial to both human health and the environment. Plus, bay leaves and cloves are inexpensive and readily available, making this method an accessible option for natural pest control.
Homemade Insect Repellent Recipe To make this natural repellent, you’ll need 15 bay leaves and 10 cloves. Start by boiling a quart of water in a saucepan. Add bay leaves and cloves to boiling water and let simmer for a few minutes to release their active compounds. After removing from heat and cooling, pour the mixture into a spray bottle.
Application Tips Spray this natural repellent in key areas like the pantry, kitchen, and bathroom, or use it monthly in your garden to protect your plants from pests. For added effectiveness, consider combining bay leaves and cloves with other natural repellents like mint and eucalyptus leaves to strengthen the protective barrier against insects.
