Natural Pest Control: Harnessing Garlic to Repel Mice, Flies, Lice, Cockroaches, Lizards, and Mosquitoes

ADVERTISEMENT

Why It Works:
Mice are highly sensitive to strong smells, and garlic’s pungent aroma disrupts their navigation, deterring them from entering your space.

How to Use:

Ingredients: Garlic powder or crushed garlic cloves.

Preparation: Sprinkle garlic powder or crushed garlic in areas where mice are active, such as near food storage, entry points, or along the foundation of your home.

Application: For targeted use, place garlic in small mesh bags and hang them in high-traffic rodent areas.

Benefits: Garlic powder is easy to apply, economical, and safe for households with children and pets.

3. Garlic Pouches for Wardrobes

Why It Works:
Garlic’s strong scent repels moths and other fabric-damaging pests, keeping your clothes and wardrobes pest-free.

How to Use:

Ingredients: 3-4 garlic cloves, small cloth pouches or breathable fabric bags.

Preparation: Lightly crush the garlic cloves to release their oils and place them inside the pouches.

Application: Hang the pouches in your wardrobe, drawers, or under your bed to repel pests.

Benefits: Garlic pouches are a mess-free, non-toxic solution for protecting your clothes from infestations.
