Recipe for Clove-Based Insect Repellent Creating a clove mixture to ward off insects is straightforward but requires additional ingredients, including eucalyptus essential oil, known for its insect-repelling properties. Here’s how to prepare it:
Place a handful of cloves in a small plastic container. Add some 70-degree ethyl alcohol. Drop a few drops of eucalyptus oil into the container. Fill the container halfway with coarse salt, then cover with more ethyl alcohol. Top with more cloves, a few more drops of eucalyptus oil, and additional ethyl alcohol. Finish by adding more salt, then the container is ready to use.
Application of the Clove Mixture Deploy the clove container in areas prone to insect presence like kitchens, barbecue spots, and bedrooms. This effective solution can be prepared quickly, remains potent for several days, and helps maintain insect-free environments.
For further effectiveness, mix a little ethyl alcohol with 5 or 6 drops of eucalyptus oil in a bowl, apply to surfaces, and wipe with a cloth for enhanced disinfection.
This combination of natural ingredients provides a safe and reliable method to repel mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches without the health risks associated with chemical-based products. Safe for use around children and pets, it’s ideal for outdoor gatherings, ensuring a pest-free environment for your events.
