- Use fresh or dried bay leaves: While both work, dried leaves tend to produce a more potent scent when burned.
- Burn a few leaves: Like the coffee grounds, you can burn bay leaves in a fire-safe container. The smoke and scent will act as a natural repellent.
- Place leaves in key areas: For a non-smoking method, place whole bay leaves in corners of your house, near windows, or any insect entry points.
Safety Tips
- Always monitor any open flame or burning material, especially indoors.
- Keep the area ventilated to avoid inhaling too much smoke.
- Ensure that all embers are extinguished properly after use to prevent any fire hazards.
