Natural Spray for Flies & Cockroaches
What You’ll Need:
15 bay leaves
10 whole cloves
1 cup water
Steps:
Combine bay leaves and cloves in a pot with water.

Why It Works:
The aromatic oils in bay leaves and cloves act as a natural insect deterrent—strong enough to send pests packing without harming your family or pets.
