Tired of pesky mosquitoes, flies, and other insects invading your home or outdoor space? Skip the chemical sprays and try this simple, natural, and effective trick using just two common kitchen items: Nescafe (or any instant coffee) and cloves. Together, they create an aromatic, smoky repellent that drives insects away — safely and naturally!
Why Nescafe & Cloves?
✅ Instant Coffee (Nescafe): When burned, the smell of coffee grounds or instant coffee powder releases compounds that insects find unpleasant.
✅ Cloves: These fragrant spice buds contain eugenol, a powerful natural insect repellent known for keeping mosquitoes, flies, and even ants at bay.
How to Make the Natural Insect Repellent:
☕ Mix 2 tablespoons of Nescafe (or any instant coffee) with 1 tablespoon of whole cloves in a small heatproof dish or metal lid.
🔥 Place the dish outside in your garden, patio, or near open windows.
🔥 Light a match or lighter to carefully set the coffee and cloves on fire. Let it smolder (don’t let it burn with big flames).
🌫️ The mixture will produce a fragrant smoke — mosquitoes and flies hate this smell and will quickly leave the area.
Extra Tips:
✅ Place multiple dishes in larger outdoor spaces for better coverage.
✅ Use in well-ventilated areas only — avoid enclosed rooms with poor airflow.
✅ Never leave the burning mixture unattended for safety.
Why It’s Better Than Chemicals:
🌱 Completely natural, non-toxic, and safe for kids and pets (as long as you keep them away from the flame).
🌱 Affordable and uses items you probably already have at home.
🌱 Adds a pleasant, warm aroma to your outdoor gatherings while keeping pests away.
With this easy Nescafe and cloves trick, you can naturally and effectively protect your home or garden from annoying insects — enjoying your space in peace without resorting to harsh chemicals!
