It’s the powerful homemade blend that keeps flies, ants or insects away: very few ingredients are enough and it’s very simple.
If you’re looking for a natural and effective repellent against annoying flies, you’ve found the perfect solution! Making a DIY repellent with grated lemon, white wine vinegar and cloves is simple, economical and completely natural. How do you do it? Let’s clarify.
How to create the powerful DIY mix?
You’ll need a few readily available ingredients. To make the powerful fly repellent blend, get a fresh lemon, cloves, and white wine vinegar. Start by grating the lemon zest into a bowl. Be careful to avoid grating the white part, focus only on the aromatic yellow skin. Once the lemon is grated, add a cup of white wine vinegar to the bowl and mix the ingredients well.
At this point, add a handful of cloves to the lemon and vinegar mixture. Cloves are a very effective natural fly repellent. They can repel these annoying insects thanks to their strong aroma, which is unpleasant for flies. Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure that the cloves are evenly distributed throughout the solution.
Once you’ve prepared your repellent, let it sit for at least a day. This period allows the ingredients to mix and release their essential oils, which are responsible for the repellent action against flies. Meanwhile, be sure to cover the bowl with a lid or cloth to prevent evaporation and keep the flavor concentrated.
