4. Repelling Bugs and Beetles
The smell of onions can deter many types of small bugs and beetles.
How to Use:
Place chopped onions in small bowls around the house, particularly near cracks and entry points.
Remember to replace them every couple of days to maintain a potent smell.
5. Keeping Lizards Away
Lizards are repelled by the strong smell of onions, making it a safe and non-toxic deterrent.
How to Use:
Place slices of onion on window sills, under kitchen sinks, or in any other spots where lizards might roam.
This will discourage them from lingering in those areas.
6. Reducing Mosquitoes
While onions alone won’t eliminate mosquitoes, they can help reduce their presence.
How to Use:
Place slices of onion around areas where you sit, such as outdoor patios.
For an added effect, combine onion with a few cloves or a drop of essential oils like citronella.
7. Deterring Cockroaches
The strong smell of onions can deter cockroaches, making it harder for them to find food.
How to Use:
Place small pieces of onion in areas where cockroaches are commonly seen, such as behind the fridge, near trash cans, and under sinks.
You can also mix onions with a bit of baking soda for an extra deterrent.
Tips for Best Results
Keep Fresh: Replace onions regularly, as their strong smell diminishes over time.
Combine with Other Natural Deterrents: Using onions along with essential oils, vinegar, or cloves can strengthen their pest-repelling effect.
Avoid in Pet Areas: If you have pets, make sure to avoid placing onions where they might be tempted to chew on them, as onions can be toxic to dogs and cats.
With these simple tips, you can use onions as a safe and natural way to keep pests away without relying on harsh chemicals!
