How to Use Garlic to Get Rid of Pests: Mice, Flies, Lice, Cockroaches, Lizards, Mosquitoes, and Kitchen Cockroaches

Prepare Garlic Infusion: Crush or finely chop 5-6 cloves of garlic. Place them in a blender or mortar and pestle.

Mix with Water: Add 1-2 cups of water to the crushed garlic. Optionally, add a tablespoon of dish soap to help the solution adhere better to surfaces.

Let It Sit: Allow the garlic to infuse in the water for a few hours, or overnight for a stronger mixture.

Strain: After the garlic has infused, strain the mixture to remove the garlic pieces.

Fill the Spray Bottle: Pour the strained liquid into a spray bottle for easy application.

How to Use:

For Mice: Spray garlic-infused water around the areas where mice are likely to enter your home, such as doorways, windows, and under cabinets. The strong odor of garlic will deter mice.

For Flies and Mosquitoes: Spray garlic water around windows, doors, and other entry points where flies and mosquitoes may enter. The strong smell will repel them.

For Lice: Use garlic oil or garlic-infused water directly on the scalp or body. Leave it for about 30 minutes before rinsing out. Repeat every few days.

For Cockroaches: Spray garlic water in the areas where cockroaches are most likely to hide, such as behind appliances and along baseboards.

For Lizards: Spray garlic water near doorways and windows to keep lizards away. The smell will make them uncomfortable and keep them out.

For Kitchen Cockroaches: Apply garlic solution in the kitchen areas, especially near food storage, and under the sink. This will deter cockroaches from invading your kitchen.
