Natural Insect Repellent Recipe

This simple and effective natural insect repellent will help keep flies, mosquitoes, and other insects away from your kitchen.

Ingredients:

• 1 lemon
• 1 lime
• A handful of cloves

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fruits:
   • Cut the lemon and lime in half, creating four halves in total.
2. Insert the Cloves:
   • Take a handful of cloves and insert them into the cut sides of the lemon and lime halves. Push the pointy end of each clove into the fruit, leaving the rounded head exposed. You can place them in a pattern or randomly—whichever you prefer.
3. Place in the Kitchen:
   • Place the clove-studded lemon and lime halves in strategic locations around your kitchen where insects tend to gather. Good spots include near windows, on countertops, or by doors.
4. Replace as Needed:
   • The citrus and cloves will naturally repel insects for a few days. Replace the fruits and cloves when they begin to dry out or lose their scent.

How It Works:

The combination of citrus and cloves emits a fragrance that is unpleasant to many insects, particularly flies and mosquitoes. This natural remedy not only helps keep insects away but also adds a fresh, pleasant scent to your kitchen.

Feel free to experiment with the quantities and arrangement to find the most effective setup for your space!
