Say goodbye to flies, mosquitoes and cockroaches boiling these leaves

We’ve all had to deal with the buzzing, biting, or creepy-crawling presence of mosquitoes, flies, and even cockroaches in our living spaces. Besides being a major nuisance, these pests can carry germs and diseases—something no one wants near their family, pets, or meals.

Luckily, there’s an easy, natural way to keep them at bay using ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen.

🧂 What You’ll Need

Ingredient	Amount
Sugar	5 tablespoons
Baking powder	1 tablespoon
Water	1 cup
Bay leaves	15
Whole cloves	10
Plastic bottle	1 (2-liter)
Regular shampoo	½ cup
Vegetable oil	½ cup
White vinegar	½ cup

🦟 Three Powerful DIY Pest Solutions

1️⃣ Homemade Mosquito Trap

Dissolve the sugar in hot water and stir in baking powder.
Cut the top off a clean 2-liter bottle.
Pour the sugar-baking soda solution into the bottom half.
Invert the top and place it like a funnel inside the bottle.
Place the trap near doors, windows, or outdoor seating to catch mosquitoes.

2️⃣ Natural Repellent for Flies & Cockroaches

Simmer bay leaves and cloves in a cup of water for 10 minutes.
Allow the mixture to cool, strain it, and pour it into a spray bottle.
Spray around baseboards, under sinks, behind stoves, and near garbage bins.

In a bowl, combine shampoo, vegetable oil, and vinegar.
Mix well and pour into a spray bottle.
Spray wherever pests are a problem—window sills, kitchen corners, or bathroom cracks.
