Vinegar Trap: Fill a bowl with apple cider vinegar and add a few drops of dish soap. The vinegar attracts flies and mosquitoes, and the soap breaks the surface tension so they drown. Place the bowl where insects are common.
Essential Oil Spray: Mix 10-15 drops of your chosen essential oil with water in a spray bottle. Shake well and spray around doors, windows, and corners to repel insects naturally.
Lemon and Cloves Repellent: Cut a lemon in half and stick several cloves into the flesh. Place these halves around your home to deter flies and mosquitoes.
Herbal Freshener: Place fresh basil or mint leaves in bowls near entry points and living areas. Their scent naturally repels flying insects.
Cotton Ball Sachets: Soak cotton balls in essential oils and place them in hidden areas to keep mosquitoes and flies away.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Refresh vinegar traps every few days for continued effectiveness.
Store essential oil sprays in a cool, dark place and shake before each use.
Replace lemon and clove halves every 2-3 days to keep the scent strong.
Keep fresh herbs replenished regularly to maintain their repellent properties.
