✔ 1 ripe banana
✔ A few (10-15) cloves

How to make it:
Take a banana and gently stick the cloves into it – preferably along the skin.
Leave the banana in the kitchen or pantry for 6-12 hours.
Watch the effects – after a few hours the banana remains fresh, insects stay away, and the smell of cloves fills the kitchen!
Why does it work?

✅ Cloves have antibacterial and antioxidant properties, which slow down the process of fruit decomposition.

✅ Their strong aroma repels insects that can’t stand the smell of eugenol – the main ingredient in cloves.

✅ Bananas naturally absorb odors, which makes them slightly scented with cloves.
