Tired of chemical mosquito repellents that smell bad or irritate your skin? Here’s a genius, all-natural trick: reuse your empty electric Raid liquid container by filling it with a simple homemade clove infusion. Cloves release a powerful scent mosquitoes hate, keeping them far away – without toxic fumes!
Why Cloves Work Against Mosquitoes
✅ Natural Repellent – Cloves contain eugenol, a strong compound proven to repel mosquitoes effectively.
✅ Long-Lasting – Their scent lingers for days, providing continuous protection.
✅ Safe & Eco-Friendly – No chemicals, synthetic fragrances, or harm to kids and pets.
How to Make the Clove Mosquito Repellent
What You Need:
- An empty electric Raid liquid container (or similar plug-in diffuser)
- 2 tablespoons whole cloves
- ½ cup boiling water

Instructions:
- Boil water and pour it over the cloves. Let steep for 20–30 minutes until it cools completely.
- Strain the liquid to remove the cloves.
- Pour the clove-infused liquid into your empty Raid container.
- Plug it back into the electric diffuser – it will gently warm and release the clove aroma into the air.
