Why opt for natural solutions? While commercial insect repellents may work, they often contain harmful chemicals that can pose risks to human health, pets, and the environment. Natural alternatives are not only safer, but they can also save you money. Homemade pest control methods are both eco-friendly and sustainable, making them a great option for those looking to avoid toxic substances.

To make your own insect repellent or trap, gather the following ingredients:

• 5 tablespoons of sugar

• 1 tablespoon of yeast

• 1 cup of water

• 15 bay leaves

• 10 cloves

• 1 2-liter plastic bottle

• 1/2 cup regular shampoo
