To make this simple repellent, cut an onion into halves or quarters and insert several cloves into the exposed surface. Place it near doors, windows, or spots where bugs tend to gather. While this won’t cover large areas or replace stronger repellents, it can help deter flying insects in small spaces.
An added bonus? This method is eco-friendly, inexpensive, and safe for homes with children and pets. Although the onion scent might not be what everyone calls “fresh,” it’s a natural way to keep bugs at bay without relying on harsh chemicals.
