I just put a single dried bay leaves on my fruit basket and it keeps those pestic fruit flies and ants away. bay leaves also keeps my flour container free from insects.
I've tried bay leaves in my flour, rice's, grains, and dried fruit. It never worked for me! The only thing that has truly worked is freezing them for 3-4 days. I've stored things for months and up to a year or two with no problems! The freezing kills them effectively! I hope this helps someone! 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏿♀️👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾
Just for those who do not know cockroaches in most other insects cannot stand bay leaves and I don't know why but they just cannot stand it they will vacate the area you can buy it in the grocery store in the seasoning area and like I tell people crush it up sprinkling around the stove the refrigerator behind the sink things like that and you will see a drop quickly hope this helps somebody
It never worked. I was renting an appt where there was a small hole near the pipe that goes through all the house and I saw cockroaches coming sometimes. Tried the bay leaves but it never worked. It worked only when my friend did all the possible holes in the appt and then I used chemical spray to ensure they won’t come again. And they never appeared again.
@@kisutis Bay leaves are excellent at prevention but a full blown infestation wont be deterred. Combat gel and high end roach motels are needed at that point.
@@w47765 I tried all possible remedies that I found on internet. I prevented them only after doing all the holes I found near the pipes and so on and calling service to disinfect it afterwards.

My kitchen has a door and I keep it closed and there are some house plants sitting on the floor at the enterance... and there always spiders that inevitably love to make webs in certain places at the front door... I did this... put essential peppermint oil on bay leaves all around the front door... and still the same spiders make their webs and I can see them waiting there to catch something...nothing changed...
@@One-Day-After-Another if I remember correctly, you have to kill spiders by getting them to ingest the poison. They eat and recycle their webs and that’s where the poison should be applied. To the web.
yeh never kill spiders bc they are not insects and feed on insects. I mean dont let them take over ur house but dont kills them. They literally dont bother you. I have a spider in my house who just chills in the corner of my window. I remember i put my finger super close to him he just stood there. They also can sense I dont wanna hurt them but yeh they come in peace and their usually just sitting in one.spot for days on end.
I made this last night. Sprayed it around my windowsills, back splash and cabinets in my kitchen. This morning there were maybe like ten ants🐜🐜 as opposed to hundreds before. Will be spraying more tonight. This works!!👍🏻

Cat and dog owners should be warned that all of these plant oils that would be implicated in this fix and the ones listed in the comments section are highly toxic to cats and dogs. So if I were to implement this it would be outside on window sills and door thresholds. I would not put this where my pets could get it even walking around or sniffing it. You got to think about these things. Pesticides are not the only things that are toxic. I would treat this type of concoction exactly the same as pesticides when it comes to the well-being of my pets.
@@stanlee2200you must be looking in the mirror when you're saying something about a toxic attitude. Fact is you're straight up wrong. Clove is toxic to cats in sufficient quantities. If you're making a tincture that thing is going to be toxic with the recipe she suggested. It's straight up science no attitude involved on my part just knowledge. Too bad that your brain can't hold any knowledge apparently. Apparently you can't even seek it. Are you even allowed on the internet?
You don't have to go through all this. I crush a couple whole cloves and put them in a little jar with peppermint oil and enough vinegar to cover the cloves, then add a bit of hot water (to double the amount already in the jar) before stirring everything thoroughly. Put a lid on your jar and stick it away in a cupboard for a while so it'll steep. I typically put it somewhere that I know I'll forget about all winter until Spring. By then, it will be one heck of repellent for ants, silverfish, and a few other buggies! It can be diluted to spray but it can leave a residue/stain. I use a pipette/eye dropper to place small amounts inside door and window frames. For a small or medium space, a saturated cotton ball placed in a plastic bottle lid can be put in drawers, closets, on top of dressers or shelves, etc. I do the same thing in a larger jar with citrus peels (oranges, lemons...) to make a natural all purpose household cleaner. Lots of insects also don't like citrus!
What you’re suggesting seems like a lot as well and it stains so not sure if putting on a cotton ball and sticking in a drawer is a great idea. Video seems easier. Great tips as well for those who can wait for the next season to have the most potent repellent. Will try to save this for another year.
***WARNING***: The brown liquid will show on your walls, furniture and carpeting. Also, the baking soda dries into white powder on everything that was sprayed.

@@GodsBabyGirl777 it will spread better if you mix it with rubbing alcohol or, if you don't mind the area getting oil on it-a carrier oil (just about any liquid oil here)--the oil version will make the peppermint last longer, but again, it is oil-so messy. Some people put the peppermint on cotton balls. idk how long that lasts, though. Essential oils are very expensive, so try small bits at first to decide what works best for you.
@@GodsBabyGirl777 I use a spray bottle. I ordered peppermint oil from Amazon mixed it with water. Sprayed it on my deck and by doors and windows. Works great for me😁💜. About 2 tbl oil to 2 cups water.. the stuff is strong..
Exactly y I read thru the comments b4 I commented. Spray the perimeter of ur house with diluted peppermint oil and it will keep ants and spiders out. Not sure abt mice, they don’t make it past the feral cats. Nor do I knw if it repels flies.
It works. I had flies all around my front door. I sprayed on the inside and outside my door and no more flies within minutes. Preparing more to spray around all the windows of the house and garage
Good. I have all 3 on hand. Bought a set of 5 oils for $9.99 at Marshall's last weekend. Prior to buying them and seeing this video I had already sprayed my place with one of those name brand bug killers. It was working great for about a week but now it's as if I hadn't did anything 🤬 When I use that product it takes a while for me to clean up (don't want any of those drips laying around) and it takes a toll on my body. I'd rather use something that I can just mix together, spray as needed and not have to worry about. Gonna give this a try today. Thanks... 👍
Instructions for those who want them in a screenshot: pour 300ml water into a frying pan, add 2 tbsps cloves and heat up, when water changes color add 2 tbsps baking soda, after fizzing reaction pour decoction into a spray bottle and add a few Bay leaves to the bpttle. Spray down both sides of your front door, baseboards, windowsills and cabinets.

Welcome to Florida. FYI: No more mosquitoes when you shower with Irish Spring (Dollar Tree) and/or 2-3 drops of Tea Tree Oil (Dessert Essence) in spray water: Mist self (mist not spray).❤
just keep all food away from pests and they will go away, as long as there is food for them to get at, you can spray your house with DDT and they will still come.
Always better to avoid toxic chemicals. I had an infestation of bluebottles that must've just hatched from under the old floorboards in the back porch of a new dwelling. I didn't notice and when I openened the door they all swarmed into my home. It was scary. They just zoomed around together ignoring all the wide open windows. I didn't have fly spray (it honestly makes me feel sick and although I was freaked out and just wanted them out I'm glad) I was studying a book about the vaiouse uses of natural ingredients so I looked fly deterrent and the only thing I had was a small onion which it said should be peeled and boiled. Sure enough as soon as they smelt the steam from the onion they all exited within an instant! I was amazed and relieved. If I'd used a chemical spray it would have been carnage! Always try natural remedies and cleaning products when you are able. All it takes is a few cheap natural ingredients and a little effort that will save time, money, your families and the environments health. ❤
@@user-kv2jf1es9uhave you tried sprinkling boric acid in every room (where your walls meet the floor)? Hot shot is a good brand (they sell it at home depot, Walmart, etc). Buy the bottle with the skinny twist off cap. Take some scissors and cut off the tip so when you squeeze the bottle a puff of boric acid will shoot out. You don't have to cake it into the surface, just point it and squeeze puffs all along the floor/wall junctions. If the infestation is really bad, do the cabinets/cupboards too.
Came to comment section to read all the legends at work. I wasn't disappointed 😂😂😂 Edit: Thank you, everyone. I have never gotten this many likes before. it's invigorating ❤️.
I absolutely love finding natural safe ways to approach something. Thanks for sharing. Pesticides are so nasty and dangerous for ppl and pets. I hate pesticides and refuse to use them.
As an exterminator, I can tell you confidently that pesticides applied according to the manufacturers label and following state and federal guidelines are no threat to anyone. The regulatory bodies surrounding the pest control industry are huge and far reaching. We’ve been studying the effects of pesticides on humans such as organo-phosphates for over 100 years. People get hurt by chemicals when they don’t know how to properly apply them.
@justina6176 thank you! This is exactly why i have issues with the whole "organic" food industry, because the pesticides that are used for food are far more safe, at least environmentally, than the "natural" methods most organic farmers use.

Salad dressing. 😂 keeping house clean works too. For the inevitable fruit flies, 1/2 c of Apple cider vinager and a 1 Tbs of Dawn Dish soap in a ramekin.. cover with wrap and poke tiny holes with a fork...
Great tip ! Thank you . I also have another tip to share with you to avoid cockroaches : I mix about 4 tbsp edible white vinegar with about a tablespoon of cloves in a little bowl and leave it in the corner of a kitchen work top. This also works incredibly well to me.
Cloves also help ease toothache pain..just place a couple of whole cloves on the gums next to the tooth thats hurting ..i used them for a long time until i was able to afford the dentist.
Ants hate them too. Just rub the bay leaves on cabinet shelves and window sills. Then leave the broken up leaves behind. They avoid it like the plague.
For flies, you can also buy a high quality incense like spicy cinnamon from Fred Solls incense and the flies really want to get out of your house or not even enter at all.
I am dedfinately going to try this. Many other methods failed, some actually made it worse. Our town was built on an anthill, and each and every house is infested with about 7 species of ants, even termites. Thank you so so much. GOD BLESS YOU RICHLY. IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.
To keep ants away 1/2 spoon Boric, 1 spoon sugar, 1 spoon flour, 1/2 spoon butter mix well and make mash and apply a pinch in all the corners and no ants for minimum 3 months guaranteed. And no lizards will come consiquently 👍🏻
I don’t know about cloves , but I’ve worked in commercial kitchens and we would boil cinnamon the cheap kind you’d get for a dollar.. and those flies fall over themselves trying to get out of your house the cinnamon reacts with their exoskeletons and the oils it’s like mace to them…
Does this hurt pet birds when you boil it then spay it on your door jams? This would be great on my front deck to keep flies away. Birds are very sensitive to what's in the air. I can't use scented candles. Their sensitivity is why they used to use them in mines too.
@macmen007 no,not as clove does...it discolors white plastic/vinyl its been sprayed on if now wiped down soon after if exposed to sun...it stained one of my double hung window sills, and siding, turnes it a light tan...but peppermint hasn't that I've noticed, but boy will clove oil kill bees,beetles, ants, hardshelled insects in just a few seconds...you'd never guess something you can injest could be safe but deadly to insects!
And to think I had Cloves in my spice rack, baking soda in the kitchen cabinet and Bay leaf growing blissfully as a mighty shrub in my Garden....all blissfully separated from each other 😅😅😅
Exactly why I'm here right now, i have the neem oil on its way. Going to try this tomorrow. My poor orchids have been infested, spreading to my other plants too. Thanks for the tip
@@EmilySeeker Try also to take as much soil from that orchid and give it some new, as the gnats lay eggs in the topsoil. Than make sure to stay watering from below so the topsoil dries out. If you want you can temporarly put kitchenfoil on the soil so your plant can recover and no one can lay eggs. Good luck!

Just remember that if you own a dog or a cat that they can pick up the smell 50 times what a human can smell. So if the odor is any way offensive it will be 50 times as offensive to a dog or a cat,and they won't be too happy
Insects and most animals in general hate the smell of essential oils especially mints. Just dilute some in a sprayer and apply regularly to keep them out.
Thanks for this video, now i know bay leaves is a repellant for cockroaches. I hate cockroaches roaming around the kitchen and even ants, bugs , spider, too.
When you said "heat the whole thing " i knew you were fed up and this was the solution 😂😂 thank you so much for this tip! I'm sick and tired of Ants taking vacation in my home especially Summer time 😁😁
Using plain rubbing alcohol works great. Pour it in your spray bottle and spray insects and their path. The alcohol lasts even after drying up. No sticky mess...
It didn't really seem to last once it's dried up from what I've experienced but it definitely is a great bug spray.. gets rid of just about anything in seconds. I've been using it for years
@@w9906Im trying to find something to get rid of spiders also but I have just had an idea. What if you spray them with hairspray? Will they then just become stiff and not be able to run away? Not sure but it is worth a try. someone else said chestnuts for spiders but I have never tried it as can only see chestnuts sold Xmastime and no spiders running around in winter.
@@w9906 yes! Spiders also breathe thru their skin. The alcohol basically suffocates them. Soapy water works too. I like 100% rubbing alcohol because it sanitizes too
I would watch even if you just sit and talk about the weather!😂 I’m kind of stuck, I just had emergency gallbladder surgery and now I’m going to have a mass(cancer) taken off my kidney, so I’m not able to do a lot. I watch you on RUclips!! Anyway, happy you’re doing so good you look wonderful. I’m so excited and happy for you!!❤
In all seriousness, most insect usually stay away from clove itself, so the clove boiled water itself will work perfectly fine, the baking soda only dilutes the solution
Great Idea, I think that is why they don't use insecticide on Mint Leaves the bugs hate pungent smells. I put Apple Cider vinegar in a bottle with 1 part water and 2 parts vinegar. Put it in a bottle half full and punch holes with a nail in the lid. You won't believe how many gnats and fruit flies will be in that bottle over night. Thanks for the tip now you have mine.
😂😂😂 nope. I just had to deal with some a few days ago and they love vinegar and citrus fruits because it did not deter them at all and the only thing that worked was Borax ant traps now they are gone within a few days!😅
We don't have cockroaches in Belgium, but I did have some results with bay leaves to keep the tiny bugs away that use to creep into the pantry in order to lay their eggs in flower, rice or anything of that type of food. So yes, it could work. But I don't think the soda is necessary. They tend to put soda bicarbonate in everything lately, but its beneficialty is greatly exaggerated.
Actually you’re a little wrong there. So many fancy concoctions actually have bicarb soda as their base ingredient. At 60 I have proved many times the usefulness of bicarb. eg. put in bowl in fridge keeps fridge smells at bay, etc etc.
@@user-vh8fj8xl4i I'm not saying it doesn't do anything. It does. I'm just saying it isn't the miracle product it's sometimes cracked up to be. It does what it does, and that's not "everything", just "some things". And this here thing, about the insect stuff, I don't think it's doing anything to repell insects at all.
Cloves might get stuck in the spray bottle, it's better to use oil of cloves added to water instead. Cloves do ward off insects, so does vinegar (for some), lemongrass, and chestnuts for spiders.
I only ever see chestnuts at Christmas time and that is when no spiders are around because it is too cold. They only start to emerge when it gets to around 10 degrees celsius.
Don't waste your money or time it doesn't work. I just tried it. Now I have to wipe everything thing down and still have flies in the same spots. It did stun them for a minute. 😢
The reason why some seeds, leaves, roots, stems and/or flower buds that we commonly use as spices and herbs deter certain insects is because the plants developed the chemical compounds not only to attract pollinators but to deter certain pests commonly found in the area. Other herbs use the scent to attract predatory insects that prey on the pests that commonly attack the plant. If your potted plant starts wilting from one reason or another you might notice their flavour and aroma getting stronger and that's because the plant itself is in a vulnerable state and uses it's energy to defend itself from pests.
Who else thought the insects were frying until they watched the end 😳
😅😂
Haha
Same here 😅😅
Me too 😂
Yep. At first, I thought they were mosquito larvae.
I just put a single dried bay leaves on my fruit basket and it keeps those pestic fruit flies and ants away. bay leaves also keeps my flour container free from insects.

They also keep your brown sugar soft.
Also put Bay leaves in your flour container , and rice .whole leaves it keeps them from turning to moths and other insects.

Thank you this😊I don't always have the patience to write it down
Glooking
There is no single household hack without baking soda.
Simple pizza sauce: quarter cup ketchup, quarter cup tomato concentrate, tsp dried oregano powder.
Or- the lazier option: half cup ketchup, 5-10 packets of pizza spice that you kept leftover from your previous pizza night orders.
Welcome to Florida. FYI: No more mosquitoes when you shower with Irish Spring (Dollar Tree) and/or 2-3 drops of Tea Tree Oil (Dessert Essence) in spray water: Mist self (mist not spray).❤
Or vinegar 😂
I know one: a lighter and a hairspray
just keep all food away from pests and they will go away, as long as there is food for them to get at, you can spray your house with DDT and they will still come.
I’ve never had roaches but we get plenty of flies and ants. This will come in handy! 😊
At first I thought the cloves were mosquito larvae, and thought you were using the dark arts or something.
Always better to avoid toxic chemicals. I had an infestation of bluebottles that must've just hatched from under the old floorboards in the back porch of a new dwelling. I didn't notice and when I openened the door they all swarmed into my home. It was scary. They just zoomed around together ignoring all the wide open windows. I didn't have fly spray (it honestly makes me feel sick and although I was freaked out and just wanted them out I'm glad) I was studying a book about the vaiouse uses of natural ingredients so I looked fly deterrent and the only thing I had was a small onion which it said should be peeled and boiled. Sure enough as soon as they smelt the steam from the onion they all exited within an instant! I was amazed and relieved. If I'd used a chemical spray it would have been carnage! Always try natural remedies and cleaning products when you are able. All it takes is a few cheap natural ingredients and a little effort that will save time, money, your families and the environments health. ❤
❤❤❤ mine is cockroaches AM do fed up,will onion deal with them?
@@user-kv2jf1es9uhave you tried sprinkling boric acid in every room (where your walls meet the floor)? Hot shot is a good brand (they sell it at home depot, Walmart, etc). Buy the bottle with the skinny twist off cap. Take some scissors and cut off the tip so when you squeeze the bottle a puff of boric acid will shoot out. You don't have to cake it into the surface, just point it and squeeze puffs all along the floor/wall junctions. If the infestation is really bad, do the cabinets/cupboards too.
Thank you.
Try diatomaceous earth @@user-kv2jf1es9u
What’s a bluebottle?

@Amlamekvids now you are another 1 legend 😅
I love how you get straight to the point.
Thank you.
I have no pests and have never had pests. Only thing I do is clean up after myself right after I make a mess. Dishes, stove, etc. Never had a problem.
This!
I absolutely love finding natural safe ways to approach something. Thanks for sharing. Pesticides are so nasty and dangerous for ppl and pets. I hate pesticides and refuse to use them.
Me too
I've never had a health issue with the average pesticide. I thought if used properly and as intended, it's safe. It's not?
As an exterminator, I can tell you confidently that pesticides applied according to the manufacturers label and following state and federal guidelines are no threat to anyone.
The regulatory bodies surrounding the pest control industry are huge and far reaching. We’ve been studying the effects of pesticides on humans such as organo-phosphates for over 100 years.
People get hurt by chemicals when they don’t know how to properly apply them.
@justina6176 thank you! This is exactly why i have issues with the whole "organic" food industry, because the pesticides that are used for food are far more safe, at least environmentally, than the "natural" methods most organic farmers use.
@@bradyp8868propaganda.
I definitely know Bailey leaves key bugs away because in my 44 years of living, I’ve never seen bugs in a spice cabinet💯
It's called Bay leaves, not Bailey!
Very true. They avoid the spice cabinet

100% is max..
Take a breath. Its YT.. chill.
Salad dressing. 😂 keeping house clean works too. For the inevitable fruit flies, 1/2 c of Apple cider vinager and a 1 Tbs of Dawn Dish soap in a ramekin.. cover with wrap and poke tiny holes with a fork...
In the old times, people put bay leaves into barrels/containers of flour to keep bugs (weevils or mites) out.
Won't the scent transfer into the flour?
@@jessicamenchaca4970it does not thank goodness and it really works
Just make sure you don't get it in your bread recipes.
Great tip ! Thank you . I also have another tip to share with you to avoid cockroaches : I mix about 4 tbsp edible white vinegar with about a tablespoon of cloves in a little bowl and leave it in the corner of a kitchen work top. This also works incredibly well to me.
I’ve got no more ants in my house, but now I’ve got dozens and stray cats in my yard who refuse to leave.
All I heard was baking soda 😂😂😂😂❤😂😂😂
Cloves also help ease toothache pain..just place a couple of whole cloves on the gums next to the tooth thats hurting ..i used them for a long time until i was able to afford the dentist.
Cloves of what ?? Not garlic?
😂😂😂😂@@gabynarufan
@@gabynarufan a brown leafy cloves it shows in short video ... but still funny joke :D
@@gabynarufan lol they’re just called cloves
You can also by clove oil that numbs your dental pain quite well. Great in an emergency.
Yeh i heard Bay leaves keep cockroaches away.
Seems according to people in comments, boiling cheap cinnamon also works.
I don't understand why the bayleaves are added afterwards, wouldn't you heat them up to get as much out of them?
Ants hate them too. Just rub the bay leaves on cabinet shelves and window sills. Then leave the broken up leaves behind. They avoid it like the plague.
Much cheaper is incense sticks from Walmart.
Lavender oil keeps pests away, also. Dilute with water, good for mosquitos, pure oil for entry ways(ants, bedbugs, etc).
Nott mosquitos. Look it up
When I saw thise little black things in the water, I thought those were the ants🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMG the comments have me rolling 🤣 😅😅😅😅 I needed the laughs plus she says the exact amount of cloves
For flies, you can also buy a high quality incense like spicy cinnamon from Fred Solls incense and the flies really want to get out of your house or not even enter at all.
Incense! That's what I keep saying! 👍😁
Flies dont like pine sol
I thought those cloves were the bugs for a sec...
I did, too! 😆😆😆
Best pro tip for Roaches - Move home, kick out the lodger 😂😅
I am dedfinately going to try this. Many other methods failed, some actually made it worse. Our town was built on an anthill, and each and every house is infested with about 7 species of ants, even termites. Thank you so so much. GOD BLESS YOU RICHLY. IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.
Where is your town
How was your whole town built on an anthill? They aren’t very big. Is your town just ant sized?
Cinnamon keeps ants away
To keep ants away 1/2 spoon Boric, 1 spoon sugar, 1 spoon flour, 1/2 spoon butter mix well and make mash and apply a pinch in all the corners and no ants for minimum 3 months guaranteed. And no lizards will come consiquently 👍🏻
Does it work ?
No tadpoles were harmed during the making of this video.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 i tought it too
Yep, add me to your, can't tell difference between cloves and tadpoles clan..
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
😂😂😂😂😊
I thought it was cooking all those bugs till they were all gone 😅
Mix soap, water, and vinegar in a spray bottle, gets rid of flys in just a few sprays
I don’t know about cloves , but I’ve worked in commercial kitchens and we would boil cinnamon the cheap kind you’d get for a dollar.. and those flies fall over themselves trying to get out of your house the cinnamon reacts with their exoskeletons and the oils it’s like mace to them…
cinnamon powder will work with ants as well.
thanks x
Bay leaves are cinnamon
@@lynettedsouza43cinnamon is bark from a tree. Maybe you meant they work the same way?
Does this hurt pet birds when you boil it then spay it on your door jams? This would be great on my front deck to keep flies away. Birds are very sensitive to what's in the air. I can't use scented candles. Their sensitivity is why they used to use them in mines too.
It worked!!! I no longer have my wife and kids, thanks.
💀
I’m dead 💀
She said it will react with a de-cock-sion
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
You keep your house clean you’ll never have ants and roaches , no need for chemicals or remedies. Flying insects might require traps.
CAUTION, CLOVE CAN DISCOLOR SOME SURFACES...
what about the peppermint oil?, will it leave a stain?
@macmen007 no,not as clove does...it discolors white plastic/vinyl its been sprayed on if now wiped down soon after if exposed to sun...it stained one of my double hung window sills, and siding, turnes it a light tan...but peppermint hasn't that I've noticed, but boy will clove oil kill bees,beetles, ants, hardshelled insects in just a few seconds...you'd never guess something you can injest could be safe but deadly to insects!
Another good thing about Citronella essential oil is that it also kills trash odors!
Mabye... the trash odors are causing the bugs... just maybe
Damn this woman got flies, ants AND cockroaches
If flies aren’t bothered by poop, it’ll certainly love this then ❤😂
And to think I had Cloves in my spice rack, baking soda in the kitchen cabinet and Bay leaf growing blissfully as a mighty shrub in my Garden....all blissfully separated from each other 😅😅😅
I recommend this, but with the addition of a spoonfull neem-oil. You can spray this on plants too if they are infected with f.i. fungus gnats.
Exactly why I'm here right now, i have the neem oil on its way. Going to try this tomorrow. My poor orchids have been infested, spreading to my other plants too. Thanks for the tip
@@EmilySeeker Try also to take as much soil from that orchid and give it some new, as the gnats lay eggs in the topsoil. Than make sure to stay watering from below so the topsoil dries out. If you want you can temporarly put kitchenfoil on the soil so your plant can recover and no one can lay eggs. Good luck!

I thought those were bugs boiling around in the water. At first oh my god.
I know. I was getting elated at the thought of of boiling mosquito larvae! 😅
I thought the same 😂
Metoo😂😂
same fr 😂😂
Just remember that if you own a dog or a cat that they can pick up the smell 50 times what a human can smell.
So if the odor is any way offensive it will be 50 times as offensive to a dog or a cat,and they won't be too happy
Thanks for that tip😊
Good to know. Neighborhood "outdoor" cats, and the strays that they attract are using our flower beds as toilets. 😠
I have stray cat that likes to visit my patio maybe it’ll work on him too!
They’ll be ok. They like the smell of shit and I don’t. So they can put up with some herbs.
It’s just cloves
woman: *frying the bugs to teach all the other bugs a lesson* bugs: hegs naw-
Insects and most animals in general hate the smell of essential oils especially mints. Just dilute some in a sprayer and apply regularly to keep them out.
Eucalyptus oil cheap at Walmart does the same thing. Works for killing lice eggs too.
Eucalyptus didn't work for me 😭
@@MAAT1111 I feel like it invites them instead 🤦🏽♀️
I thought those were tadpoles.
Thank you for this tip ! We like sitting on our front porch . We get so many insects it drives us crazy. Definitely have to try this !😊😍
Thanks for this video, now i know bay leaves is a repellant for cockroaches. I hate cockroaches roaming around the kitchen and even ants, bugs , spider, too.
😂clean
Using 3 Bay leaves in warm water works just as well. I didn't use cloves or baking soda. Why a frying pan? Wouldn't a pot do.😊✌️🕯️🙏🖖🙂👋👣. Vj.
If they said pot someone would've said, "why not a pan"? 😂 I mean use whatever you want, it makes no difference.
It's a cooking trick: the shallow pan boils faster for smaller batches. Example: cooking noodles in a pan full of water rather than a pot is faster.
She’s not into pot.
@@psyeklmore precisely it’s the larger surface area. Using a bigger pot also works.
I wonder what pot would do to bugs🌃😅🐜spray🚬🌿🌱🍃 🕷😂
Thank goodness sis wasn't frying bugs 😂🎉❤
Mext documentary, how filipino police recycle the drugs they got from raids 😂😂
Cloves can reduce toksic in body too,drink cloves water after boiling it
You mean toxic?
When you said "heat the whole thing " i knew you were fed up and this was the solution 😂😂 thank you so much for this tip! I'm sick and tired of Ants taking vacation in my home especially Summer time 😁😁
Instruction unclear. It killed all the tadpoles in my frying pan.
"Insects avoid the house like the plague" 😂😂😂
The cloves is the main ingredient that bugs don’t like
Yes!! Clover is cleansing and spiritual rids any type of infestations😊
Is it called clover or clove's!? And please where can I buy some!?
Ngl low key
@@VanessaDavis-iq5excloves and in the spice section of grocery store.
@@VanessaDavis-iq5exAsian markets
most modern pest repellant contain mint,peppermint etc..they don't like mint,mothballs,vinegar etc
I thought these were mosquito larva
Using plain rubbing alcohol works great. Pour it in your spray bottle and spray insects and their path. The alcohol lasts even after drying up. No sticky mess...
It didn't really seem to last once it's dried up from what I've experienced but it definitely is a great bug spray.. gets rid of just about anything in seconds. I've been using it for years
Will it work on spiders?
@@w9906Im trying to find something to get rid of spiders also but I have just had an idea. What if you spray them with hairspray? Will they then just become stiff and not be able to run away? Not sure but it is worth a try. someone else said chestnuts for spiders but I have never tried it as can only see chestnuts sold Xmastime and no spiders running around in winter.
@@w9906 yes! Spiders also breathe thru their skin. The alcohol basically suffocates them. Soapy water works too. I like 100% rubbing alcohol because it sanitizes too
Ammonia!
I would watch even if you just sit and talk about the weather!😂 I’m kind of stuck, I just had emergency gallbladder surgery and now I’m going to have a mass(cancer) taken off my kidney, so I’m not able to do a lot.

Pa just making a joke, it was like a Saturday night live skit in my head
In all seriousness, most insect usually stay away from clove itself, so the clove boiled water itself will work perfectly fine, the baking soda only dilutes the solution
@iridium8341 bro, I need them to see😅
Does not work
@@iridium8341😂😂😂
Great Idea, I think that is why they don't use insecticide on Mint Leaves the bugs hate pungent smells. I put Apple Cider vinegar in a bottle with 1 part water and 2 parts vinegar. Put it in a bottle half full and punch holes with a nail in the lid. You won't believe how many gnats and fruit flies will be in that bottle over night. Thanks for the tip now you have mine.
Throw some garlic in there and it'll keep vampires out too.
It's so good to see all of these Solutions but y'all making my skin crawl. Respectfully!
I am a plant enthusiast, so I hope this will get rid of my gnats.
Allow your soil to dry fully. They will keep breeding in moist soil. Gl
If you were a plant enthusiast, youd know.
Instructions unclear my house is infested with flies, ants and cockroaches
The tumbnail looks live mosquitoe larvaes💀
Vinegar in a spray bottle for ants is effective too.
It's starting to not work for mine. Dk why
Vinegar kills but doesn’t repel. 😉
@@reshounnsunfoster4884BIG difference
😂😂😂 nope. I just had to deal with some a few days ago and they love vinegar and citrus fruits because it did not deter them at all and the only thing that worked was Borax ant traps now they are gone within a few days!😅
We don't have cockroaches in Belgium, but I did have some results with bay leaves to keep the tiny bugs away that use to creep into the pantry in order to lay their eggs in flower, rice or anything of that type of food. So yes, it could work. But I don't think the soda is necessary. They tend to put soda bicarbonate in everything lately, but its beneficialty is greatly exaggerated.
So is the word 'beneficiality'.
@@NatureOfDuality369 Are you correcting typos?
😂 love it
Actually you’re a little wrong there. So many fancy concoctions actually have bicarb soda as their base ingredient. At 60 I have proved many times the usefulness of bicarb. eg. put in bowl in fridge keeps fridge smells at bay, etc etc.
@@user-vh8fj8xl4i I'm not saying it doesn't do anything. It does. I'm just saying it isn't the miracle product it's sometimes cracked up to be. It does what it does, and that's not "everything", just "some things". And this here thing, about the insect stuff, I don't think it's doing anything to repell insects at all.
'Insects avoid the house like the plague.'
I though those cloves were mosquito larvae for a second 💀
Cloves might get stuck in the spray bottle, it's better to use oil of cloves added to water instead. Cloves do ward off insects, so does vinegar (for some), lemongrass, and chestnuts for spiders.
As well as peppermint oil
I only ever see chestnuts at Christmas time and that is when no spiders are around because it is too cold. They only start to emerge when it gets to around 10 degrees celsius.
You can also strain the clove water for the spray bottle.
I should've read this comment first before I clogged my spray bottle😵
I’m going to pick up some cloves and bay leaf’s so I can make a batch. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
Don't waste your money or time it doesn't work. I just tried it. Now I have to wipe everything thing down and still have flies in the same spots. It did stun them for a minute. 😢
I thought these were frogs babies swimming😭🤦🏻♀️💀🤣🤣🤣
This is some "ADLEY or JUSTIN FLOM" type GARBAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Storing your flour, rice, cereal, oats, cream of wheat, grits, any type dry pasta/ beans and corn meal in fridge or freezer keeps it fresh longer.
Yes! Learned this from my mom, and we kept extra bread loafs in the freezer till ready to use too ❤
Rice 🤔
I store anything mice and ants like in tight closing containers. I label the containers. I get my containers from Goodwill.
So, we will have to buy two gigantic refrigerators, one for fresh items and one for dry items.
@@aprildelk6987 I do that
I truly thought the insects were frying in that pan! lmao
I swear people be comin up with the craziest concoctions 🤭
The reason why some seeds, leaves, roots, stems and/or flower buds that we commonly use as spices and herbs deter certain insects is because the plants developed the chemical compounds not only to attract pollinators but to deter certain pests commonly found in the area. Other herbs use the scent to attract predatory insects that prey on the pests that commonly attack the plant. If your potted plant starts wilting from one reason or another you might notice their flavour and aroma getting stronger and that's because the plant itself is in a vulnerable state and uses it's energy to defend itself from pests.
