How to prepare cloves against flies
Preparing a mixture with cloves to repel insects, flies and cockroaches is simple, but we also need other ingredients. Among these we also find eucalyptus essential oil, also powerful in repelling attacks by insects and cockroaches , widely used to keep them away from the house and everywhere else. Here’s how to prepare the mixture:
- Place a handful of cloves in a small plastic container;
- Add a little ethyl alcohol at 70 degrees;
- Pour a few drops of eucalyptus oil into the container.
Mix the container then fill it more than half full with coarse salt. Once you add the salt, add more ethyl alcohol to cover the salt. Put a few more cloves on top, a few more drops of eucalyptus oil and a little ethyl alcohol.
Start sprinkling more salt and at this point the container is ready to be used to repel flies, mosquitoes and cockroaches.
