Are you tired of fighting mosquitoes, flies, moths, spiders, ants, and ticks? There’s a simple yet highly effective trick to keep unwanted guests out of your home and garden.
This natural method is easy to make with readily available materials and, most importantly, it’s safe and eco-friendly!
Here’s how to prepare the preventive mixture.
🔹 Main Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of ground coffee (you can also use used coffee grounds – recycling is always good!)
- 2 teaspoons of ground cloves (grind them in a coffee grinder or crush them in a mortar)
- ½ teaspoon of ground red pepper
To place the mixture in hard-to-reach areas, prepare small scented sachets:
- Put 1 tablespoon of the mixture in the center of a piece of aluminum foil.
- Fold the edges to create a sealed pouch.
- Use a toothpick to poke a few small holes.
Place these sachets under the bed, on window sills, in cabinets, on the balcony, or in the garden. The natural scent will effectively repel insects!
Additional Tips to Boost Effectiveness:
✅ Essential Oils as an Aid: Add 2-3 drops of lavender, tea tree, eucalyptus, or lemongrass essential oil – they enhance the mixture’s effect and give your home a pleasant scent.
✅ Coffee Alternative: If you don’t have ground coffee, replace it with wormwood, rosemary, or bay leaves – these herbs also repel insects.
✅ Garden Protection: Sprinkle some of this mix around flower beds, bushes, and plants – insects will flee your garden.
✅ Pet Safety: If you have cats or dogs, avoid using red pepper. Instead, use cinnamon, peppermint, or dried lavender – they are equally effective against insects and safe for pets.
🔹 Important! Don’t forget to replace the mixture every two months to maintain its effectiveness.
