Baby Oil & Cloves: A Surprisingly Effective Natural Bug Repellent

How to Make It

1. Fill Your Jar with Cloves
Add 20–30 whole cloves to a clean glass jar.

2. Pour in Baby Oil
Cover the cloves completely with baby oil, leaving about half an inch of oil at the top.

3. Let the Mixture Infuse
Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place for 2–3 days. The longer it sits, the stronger the scent and repelling power.

4. Strain or Keep the Cloves
After infusion, you can either strain the cloves out or leave them in the jar for extra potency and a charming look.

5. Apply Before Heading Outdoors
Rub a small amount onto exposed skin—arms, legs, and neck work best. Reapply every few hours for extended outdoor activities.

Why It Works

Unlike chemical sprays that kill bugs on contact, this natural remedy prevents insects from noticing you. Cloves mask the signals your body naturally emits—like carbon dioxide, heat, and scent—that attract mosquitoes.
