Natural Insect Repellent Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 Lemon (cut into slices)
• 1 Onion (cut into slices)
• 1 Garlic bulb (separated into cloves)
• 1 Tablespoon of Cloves
• 1 Tablespoon of Baking Soda
• 1 Cup of Vinegar
• 1 Cup of Water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the lemon and onion into thin rounds. Separate the garlic cloves from the bulb without peeling them.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, combine the lemon slices, onion slices, garlic cloves, and cloves.
   • Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture.
   • Add the vinegar and water to the bowl, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
3. Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes to ensure that all the ingredients infuse together.
4. Distribute the Mixture: Pour the mixture into small, shallow containers and place them around your home, especially in areas where you frequently see flies, mosquitoes, or cockroaches.
5. Leave for 1 Hour: Let the mixture sit in your house for 1 hour. The smell will permeate the area, repelling insects.
6. Remove and Discard: After 1 hour, remove the containers and dispose of the contents. You can repeat this process weekly to keep your home insect-free.

Additional Tips:

• For ongoing protection, you can place fresh lemon or lime slices with cloves stuck into them around your home.
• Ensure your windows and doors are properly sealed to prevent insects from entering.
