Garlic is an excellent natural repellent thanks to its strong odor and sulfur compounds, which are annoying to many pests. Here are several ways to use it against different invaders:
Mice
Method: Crush several cloves of garlic and place them in corners where you detect the presence of mice. You can also make an infusion with garlic and water and spray it along their usual route.
Effect: The strong odor repels them and prevents them from returning.
烈 Flies and Mosquitoes
Method: Crush several cloves of garlic and let them soak in water for 24 hours. Strain the mixture and add a little vinegar. Spray doors, windows, and corners where these insects enter. You can also hang bunches of garlic in your windows.
Effect: The scent naturally repels flies and mosquitoes.
Cockroaches
Method: Mix garlic powder with baking soda and sprinkle it in the corners of the kitchen and behind appliances. You can also leave crushed garlic cloves in strategic locations.
Effect: The scent and compounds in garlic make cockroaches uncomfortable and prevent them from proliferating.
年Lizards
Method: Spray a garlic extract with water on windowsills, doors, and corners where they tend to appear. You can also rub garlic on walls or place garlic cloves where they hide.
Effect: Its strong aroma repels them without harming them.
識 Lice for plants and humans
