My grandmother's surprising gesture: sticking a clove into an onion

The combined scent of onion and cloves creates an  unpleasant olfactory barrier for insects , but harmless to us. Mosquitoes, flies, and even some crawling insects instinctively avoid this scent, which is too strong for their keen sense of smell.

Unlike conventional insecticides, this solution contains  no toxic substances . It does not pollute indoor air or household surfaces.

Why adopt this tip on a daily basis?

100% natural  : no additives, no chemical ingredients.

Very economical  : a simple onion and a few cloves are enough.

Safe for children and animals  : no risk of harmful inhalation.

Ecological  : a simple, reusable and environmentally friendly solution.

Discreet and effective  : the effects are felt quickly, especially during the summer months.

So, before you pull out the chemicals, why not try this trick passed down from generation to generation?  Sometimes, traditions are right.
