My grandmother’s unusual habit involving onions – the pairing of onions and cloves

Onions and cloves are not only useful in cooking but also work as a simple, eco-friendly insect repellent. Onions contain sulfur compounds and essential oils that repel pests, while cloves have eugenol, an insecticidal compound.

To make a natural repellent: Cut an onion in half.Insert cloves into the exposed onion.

Place the halves near windows or doors to keep insects away.

This combination creates a strong scent that insects dislike, offering a safe, chemical-free alternative to traditional repellents. It’s an easy, affordable way to keep pests out of your home naturally.
