Blend and Deploy: There are several methods for deploying these ingredients. One approach involves placing whole bay leaves and cloves in small bowls or sachets, distributing them strategically throughout your home, with a focus on areas frequented by pests. Alternatively, for a more concentrated solution, gently simmer a pot of water with bay leaves and cloves for an hour. The resulting steam will disperse the repellent aroma throughout your home.
