Homemade Insect Repellent That Really Works — No Chemicals Needed

If you’re fed up with flies buzzing around your kitchen, mosquitoes sneaking in at night, or cockroaches

showing up uninvited, there’s a simple, natural remedy you can try — using ingredients you probably already have at home.

This chemical-free solution is safe for kids and pets. While it won’t wipe out pests in an hour, it can

significantly reduce their presence over time with consistent use. What You’ll Need: 5 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of yeast :

1 cup of warm water, 15 bay leaves, 10 cloves, ½ cup of regular shampoo, empty 2-liter plastic bottle,

How It Works: The sugar and yeast combo creates a scent that attracts bugs into the bottle, trapping them inside.

Meanwhile, the bay leaves, cloves, and shampoo act as natural repellents, making the surrounding area less appealing to pests.

Whether you’re placing it near trash bins, in the kitchen, or out on the patio, this DIY repellent serves a double purpose:

it draws in the bugs you want to trap and drives away the ones that haven’t yet made themselves at home. Why It’s Worth Trying:

All-natural ingredients, Non-toxic and family-safe, Budget-friendly, Great for indoor and outdoor use, No harsh chemicals,

no expensive traps — just a smart, homemade way to take back your space from pests.
