Insects often invade our homes in search of food, water, or shelter.

Crumbs on the floor, fruit outside the refrigerator, or poorly stored food can easily attract them.

In addition, damp areas such as leaky sinks or puddles in the bathroom are a magnet for them.

Another factor is light, which can attract nocturnal insects such as moths or mosquitoes.

To avoid these unwanted visits, it is crucial to maintain cleanliness, seal food well, and repair any water leaks.

However, in case they have already invaded your home, this homemade repellent will be your best ally.

Ingredients needed:

  • 1 cup dried mint leaves
  • 1 cup dried lavender leaves
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 cup medical alcohol
  • (Optional) A handful of chamomile flowers

Preparation:

  1. Place the mint and lavender leaves in a bowl. If desired, add the chamomile flowers to enhance the relaxing effect.
  2. Lightly crush the leaves with your hands to release their essential oils.
  3. Boil a cup of water and pour it over the leaves. Cover the container with a plate or lid and let it rest for an hour.
  4. Once the water has cooled, filter the liquid and add the medical alcohol. This will help preserve the mixture longer.
  5. Transfer the liquid to a spray bottle and shake it well before use.

How to use it?

Spray the repellent on surfaces in your home, such as windows, doors, and corners.

You can also apply it to exposed parts of your skin to keep insects away.

Councils:
