š¦ Say Goodbye to Flies, Mosquitoes, and Cockroaches by Boiling These Leaves
Tired of dealing with flies buzzing in your kitchen, mosquitoes invading your evenings, and cockroaches showing up where they donāt belong?
Instead of reaching for harsh chemical sprays, thereās a natural, old-school remedy thatās gaining attentionāand it starts with boiling a few powerful leaves.
Yes, really.
Hereās how to make a simple, homemade pest-repelling solution using natural leaves that most people overlookāand why it works.
š What Leaves Are We Talking About?
There are a few plant leaves known for their strong, bug-repelling properties. When boiled, they release essential oils and compounds that repel common household pests naturally.
Here are the top three you can try:
1. Bay Leaves
Bay leaves arenāt just for soups and stewsātheyāre a natural insect repellent.
Why it works:
Bay leaves contain eucalyptol and other aromatic oils that cockroaches and flies canāt stand. The scent overwhelms their senses and drives them away.
How to use:
Boil a handful of fresh or dried bay leaves in water for 5ā10 minutes.
Let the water cool slightly, then pour it into a spray bottle.
Spray around entry points, baseboards, trash cans, or wherever pests like to hide.
2. Lemongrass Leaves
Lemongrass contains citronella, a well-known mosquito repellent.
Why it works:
The scent of citronella masks the smells that attract mosquitoes, making it harder for them to find you.
How to use:
Boil 1 cup of chopped lemongrass leaves in 2 cups of water.
Simmer for 10 minutes to extract the oils.
Once cooled, use it as a spray on windowsills, doorways, and even on your skin (test first for sensitivity).
3. Neem Leaves
Neem is a natural powerhouse used for centuries in traditional medicineāand it’s great for pest control.
Why it works:
Neem contains azadirachtin, which acts as a natural insect repellent and disrupts the lifecycle of many bugs, including roaches and mosquitoes.
How to use:
Boil a handful of neem leaves in water for 15 minutes.
Strain and allow the water to cool.
Use as a spray in corners, cupboards, or outdoor seating areas.
