Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of liquid detergent (preferably dish soap)
  • 2 cups of ethyl alcohol or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of cloves
  • 1/4 cup of water

Step-by-step preparation:

  1. In a pot, bring the water to a boil and add the cloves. Let it boil for one minute, then remove from the heat. Cover and let it steep for 10 minutes to release its repellent properties.
  2. In a separate container, mix the detergent with the alcohol or apple cider vinegar.
  3. Once the clove infusion has cooled, add it to the detergent and alcohol (or vinegar) mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  4. Pour the solution into a spray bottle and shake gently before each use.

How to use:

  • Spray the mixture in corners, baseboards, door and window frames, and any area where insects tend to appear.
  • Apply regularly to keep pests at bay and prevent them from reappearing.
  • Reinforce home cleaning, as keeping spaces free of food scraps and moisture is key to preventing the proliferation of insects.
