How to Prepare the Natural Repellent
Slice the Lemon
Cut the lemon in half horizontally, exposing the juicy interior.
Insert the Cloves
Stick the cloves into the surface of the lemon halves. Space them evenly for maximum effect.
Enhance with Essential Oils (Optional)
Add a few drops of your chosen essential oil directly onto the lemon halves for an extra boost.
Place Strategically
Set the prepared lemon halves in areas where pests are most active: near windows, doors, or in the kitchen.
How It Works
Lemon and Cloves: The citrus scent of the lemon combined with the spicy aroma of cloves is a powerful natural deterrent for flies, mosquitoes, and cockroaches.
Essential Oils: Peppermint, citronella, and eucalyptus oils are known for their pest-repelling properties and enhance the effectiveness of this method.
Tips for Best Results
Replace Regularly: Refresh the lemon and cloves every 2–3 days to maintain potency.
Use Multiple Bowls: For larger spaces, prepare several sets and place them in different areas of your home.
Combine with Cleanliness: Keep your home clean and free of crumbs or standing water to prevent attracting pests in the first place.
Benefits of This Method
Natural and Safe: No harmful chemicals or toxins involved, making it safe for children and pets.
Cost-Effective: Uses simple ingredients that are affordable and easily available.
Quick and Effective: Starts showing results in as little as one hour.
