Tired of battling mosquitoes but don’t want to keep using chemical-laden electric refills? Here’s a brilliant and natural trick that few people know: fill an empty electric mosquito repellent (like a Raid liquid bottle) with cloves, and let it work its magic! It’s safe, effective, and smells pleasant—and you’ll never look at cloves the same way again.
🧄 Why Cloves Work So Well
Cloves are rich in eugenol, a natural oil that:
- Repels mosquitoes and insects
- Has a strong, spicy aroma they hate
- Is non-toxic to humans and pets (in small amounts)
- Lasts for hours when warmed gently
🔌 How to Use Cloves in Your Electric Diffuser
What you need:
- An empty electric mosquito liquid refill bottle (like Raid or Baygon)
- 10–15 whole cloves
- Optional: a few tablespoons of water or natural essential oil (like clove or citronella)
- Your standard plug-in diffuser device
🛠️ Instructions:
- Rinse out the empty refill bottle and let it dry completely.
- Fill the bottle with whole cloves (you can slightly crush a few to release more aroma).
- Optionally, add a little water or neutral oil to help diffuse the scent, but it’s not required.
- Screw the bottle back into the plug-in device.
- Plug it in as usual and let the device warm the cloves gently.
✅ What Happens Next:
- Within 15–30 minutes, you’ll notice a spicy, pleasant aroma.
- Mosquitoes will stay away from the room—no buzzing, no bites.
- It works for several nights before needing a refill or refresh.
⚠️ Notes & Tips
- Always monitor the device to ensure it doesn’t overheat.
- Replace the cloves every 3–5 days for best results.
- You can combine with a few drops of clove essential oil for a stronger effect.
- Works best in closed rooms like bedrooms or offices.
