Forget harsh chemicals—garlic is the ultimate natural pest repellent! Its strong scent and powerful properties make it an eco-friendly, pet-safe, and budget-friendly way to keep unwanted guests like mice, mosquitoes, cockroaches, lice, flies, and even lizards out of your home. Here’s how you can use garlic to take back your space!
? 1. Garlic Spray for Mosquitoes & Cockroaches
Why It Works: Bugs HATE the strong sulfur compounds in garlic—it messes with their senses and drives them away.
How to Use:
? Crush 3-4 garlic cloves and soak them in 1 liter of water for 24 hours.
? Strain the mixture and add a few drops of liquid soap (this helps it stick).
? Pour into a spray bottle and mist entry points, cracks, and bug-prone areas.
? Bonus: This chemical-free spray is safe around kids and pets!
? 2. Garlic Powder for Mice
Why It Works: Mice rely on their sense of smell to navigate, and garlic’s pungent odor throws them off.
How to Use:
? Sprinkle garlic powder or place crushed garlic near food storage areas, cracks, and entry points.
? For a mess-free option, place garlic in small mesh bags and hang them where needed.
? No traps, no toxins—just a simple, effective deterrent!
? 3. Garlic Pouches for Wardrobes
Why It Works: Moths and other fabric-eating pests hate garlic’s scent.
How to Use:
? Lightly crush 3-4 garlic cloves and place them in breathable fabric pouches.
? Tuck the pouches into drawers, closets, or under your bed.
? No more moth holes—just fresh, protected clothes!
? 4. Garlic Pieces to Keep Lizards Away
Why It Works: Lizards can’t stand the smell of garlic, making it a perfect repellent.
How to Use:
? Place whole or crushed garlic cloves near doors, windows, and other entry points.
? Hang small garlic bundles around high-traffic lizard areas.
No harmful sprays—just a natural way to keep lizards OUT!
