Today I’m going to share with you an incredible tip on how to get rid of insects in your home without spending a fortune on chemicals. With just two simple ingredients – bay leaves and coffee grounds – you can make a natural and effective repellent. Follow the leader!

Ingredients required:

  • Dried bay leaves (about a small handful)
  • 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds (unused, straight from the pack)
  • A heat-resistant container
  • A lighter or matches

Preparation steps:

  1. Prepare the bay leaves   : Finely chop the bay leaves. The smaller they are cut, the better. Bay leaf has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and aversive properties, which makes it a perfect ally for this tip.
  2. Add the coffee grounds   : In a container, mix the chopped bay leaves with 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds. Mix well so that the two ingredients are well combined.
  3. Light the mixture   : Using a lighter, light the mixture slightly. Be careful, the idea is not to let it burn, but to let it burn slowly so that fragrant smoke is released.

Use :

  • As a natural repellent   : place the container in the room where you have problems with insects (flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, spiders, etc.). The smoke emitted by bay leaves and coffee will naturally repel insects.
  • Duration   : The smoke may last for a while depending on the amount used. Repeat the process if necessary.

Additional benefits:

In addition to repelling insects, this tip offers other benefits:

  • Medicinal properties   : Bay smoke can help relieve headaches and toothaches and even clear the airways in case of colds or bronchitis.
  • Calming   : Bay leaf is also known for its relaxing properties that can help reduce anxiety and stress.

Why is this tip great?

  • Natural   : No harsh chemicals, only natural ingredients.
  • Be economical   : use ingredients you already have at home.
  • Versatile   : It not only repels insects but also improves indoor air quality.

Bonus tip:

If you like the smell of coffee, you will appreciate the aroma of this blend. However, insects don’t like it at all!
