This article introduces a simple, all-natural method to help repel household pests: rubbing a fresh garlic clove on both the inside and outside of your door frame.
The natural compounds in garlic—especially sulfur-based ones like allicin—are believed to deter a range of unwanted intruders, including ants, roaches, fleas, bed bugs, spiders, and even mice.
What You’ll Need:
1 fresh garlic clove
How to Use It:
- Peel the garlic and rub it directly along the interior and exterior edges of the door frame.
- Reapply every few days or after the scent has faded to maintain its effectiveness.
Extra Tips for Better Results:
1. Expand the Treatment Zone
Don’t stop at just the door frames. Apply garlic to:
- Window sills
- Baseboards
- Small cracks and corners where pests may enter
2. Make a DIY Garlic Spray
- Crush 2–3 cloves and steep them in hot water for about 10 minutes.
- Strain the mixture and add a few drops of mild dish soap.
- Pour into a spray bottle and apply around windows, doors, and room edges—indoors or outdoors.
3. Neutralize the Odor While Boosting Effectiveness
