Why It Works
Cloves contain eugenol, a natural mosquito repellent with a strong aroma that insects dislike.
Lemon adds a refreshing scent and boosts the repelling effect.
Essential oils like lavender or citronella enhance the fragrance and keep mosquitoes away even longer.
Extra Tips to Keep Mosquitoes Away
🌿 Place bowls with lemon and cloves near windows or doors.
🌿 Burn clove or eucalyptus oil in a diffuser for stronger protection.
🌿 Avoid leaving standing water in your home, since that’s where mosquitoes breed.
