Cloves are more than just a flavorful spice for your food—they also have a strong, pungent aroma that cockroaches absolutely despise. The smell of cloves overwhelms their sensitive senses, repelling them from your home. Cloves also contain eugenol, a compound that has been known to act as a natural insecticide. This makes cloves an excellent natural remedy for driving away these unwanted pests.
How to Use Cloves to Get Rid of Cockroaches
There are a couple of simple ways to use cloves to repel cockroaches quickly and naturally.
Method 1: Placing Whole Cloves Around the Home
This is the easiest and fastest way to start repelling cockroaches.
Materials:
Whole cloves (available at most grocery stores)
Instructions:
Identify problem areas: Start by identifying the areas where you’ve seen cockroaches or where they are most likely to hide. Common places include under the sink, near food storage, behind appliances, and in corners of cupboards.
Place the cloves: Simply place several whole cloves in these problem areas. Cockroaches will detect the strong smell and avoid these areas, leaving your home roach-free.
Replace regularly: Replace the cloves every two to three weeks or as needed to ensure the smell remains strong enough to repel the roaches.
Method 2: Clove and Water Spray
For a more targeted approach, you can create a clove spray to spritz directly onto areas where cockroaches are seen.
