• Boil the bay leaves and cloves in one cup of water for about 10 minutes.
• Let the mixture cool, then transfer the liquid into a spray bottle.
• Use it in kitchens, bathrooms, or any place where flies or cockroaches are a problem.

3. All-Purpose Insect Spray

• Mix the shampoo, vegetable oil, and vinegar in a bowl.
• Pour into a spray bottle and shake well before using.
• Spray in bug-prone areas like window sills, trash bins, or door frames.

These DIY solutions are a great alternative to chemical repellents. They’re safe to use around your family and pets, affordable, and easy to make. Plus, they don’t carry the strong, synthetic odor that commercial sprays often have.

Remember Preventive Habits

While these natural remedies work well, they should be paired with basic prevention:

• Keep your home clean, especially food-prep areas.
• Remove standing water to prevent mosquito breeding.
• Store food properly and seal cracks or holes where pests might enter.
