Put this for 1 hour in your house, you will never see flies, mosquitoes or cockroaches again.

1. In a saucepan, boil 15 bay leaves and 10 cloves in a cup of water .
2. Let the mixture boil for about 10 minutes, then remove from the heat to cool.
3. Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a spray bottle.
4. Spray this repellent in areas where you have seen cockroaches or flies, such as the kitchen, pantry or bathroom.

Bay leaves and cloves give off odors that these insects do not like. This deters them from remaining in the treated areas.

Step 3: Multi-insect repellent spray

For a more versatile repellent that works well against mosquitoes as well as cockroaches and flies, you can create a spray using shampoo, vegetable oil and white vinegar.

Instructions :

1. Mix 1/2 cup shampoo , 1/2 cup vegetable oil , and 1/2 cup white vinegar in a bowl or container.
2. Stir well so that all ingredients are well combined.
3. Transfer the solution to a clean spray bottle.
4. Spray this spray in areas where insects are common, such as near doors, windows and in corners of the kitchen.

This spray is effective because the shampoo helps the mixture adhere to surfaces, the vegetable oil creates a barrier that insects don’t like to cross, and the vinegar acts as a natural repellent.

Additional tips to avoid insects

While these methods are effective in repelling insects, it is also essential to take preventative measures to prevent them from returning.

1. Keep spaces clean  : Make sure your home, especially the kitchen, is clean and free of food debris. Flies and cockroaches are attracted to food and standing water, so clean surfaces promptly and don’t leave food out in the open.
2. Avoid standing water  : Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so eliminate any water buildup in plant saucers, gutters or other containers outside the home.
3. Close openings  : Check windows and doors to make sure there are no cracks or gaps where insects could enter. Use mosquito nets to keep mosquitoes out, especially during the summer months.
