Flies, mosquitoes, and cockroaches can be more than just annoying—they can also carry diseases. But “there is a natural, safe, and effective way to scare away these pesky visitors” using simple kitchen ingredients.

**Mosquito Trap:** Dissolve 5 tablespoons sugar in 1 cup hot water, add yeast, and mix well. Cut a 2-liter plastic bottle, pour the mixture inside, and invert the top as a funnel. Place in mosquito-prone areas.

**Cockroach & Fly Repellent:** Boil 15 bay leaves and 10 cloves in 1 cup water for 10 minutes. Cool, transfer to a spray bottle, and spray in pantries, bathrooms, or other insect areas.

**Multi-Insect Repellent Spray:** Mix ½ cup shampoo, ½ cup vegetable oil, and ½ cup white vinegar. Pour into a spray bottle and apply where insects appear.

These homemade solutions are “a safer, more natural alternative to commercial chemical repellents,” but they work best alongside preventive measures like keeping spaces clean and avoiding stagnant water.

With these easy recipes, you can keep bugs away naturally and effectively—without harsh chemicals.
