Natural Pest Repellent: Keep Rats and Insects Away with Garlic

Crush the garlic cloves and let them sit for 10 minutes (this activates allicin).

Boil the water and add the crushed garlic. Simmer for 10–15 minutes.

Let cool, then strain the liquid.

Pour into a spray bottle, or soak cotton balls in the solution.

How to Use
Spray around baseboards, under sinks, behind appliances, in corners, and entry points.

Replace or refresh garlic-soaked cotton balls every few days.

Use outdoors near trash bins, garages, or garden sheds to keep rodents and insects away.
