    We live in rural Ohio, next to a field with cattle, so flies are always a terrible problem. I tried this recipe, and am amazed at the result. Our house has not one, but 3 big doggie doors! (see the problem???). Okay, the weather for the last 3 weeks has been cooler - 80+ degrees --, but all of us are amazed at the result. Yes, the flies still get in, but they don't stay! Its amazing. Even our neighbors & friends have commented about "where'd the flies go?". It's early August, so surely the weather will warm up, but I'm hoping, hoping....

      I mix peppermint oil with water for a spray. Ants, Mosquitos, Wasps and flies stay away. I even spray me when I head to the woods or garden. I put a few drops of lemon or whatever scent I want on my vacuum cleaner bag and the filter for the central heat/air. Instant whole house scent. And if I do get bit I use a mentholatum rub like Vic's. I found a roll on at Amazon. It is a petroleum product and I do stay away from those. But If I get chiggar bites for instance Mentholatum is my go to. About 3 applications when itching reoccurs and no more itch. Works for mosquitos bites also. Wasp takes a lot more applications and doesn't remove the pain but sincerely dulls it. I haven't had poison ivy yet. That's my next experiment.
      Remembered another. Diatomaceous earth. Food grade, not the stuff for pool filters. I use this to 'relocate' ant hills. It is not a deterrent. It is like throwing down piles of broken glass to us. Cuts their exoskeleton. I had a nest of field ants next to the garage man door. Ants either relocated or died but they are gone.

    I usually put a bay leaf and a clove in my tea already just because I like the taste...and because bay leaves are narcotics (I know most people are unaware) which relax me. I wonder if that tea I've been drinking helps to keep mosquitos from wanting to bite me. As I'm drinking the tea, the steam is leaving the cup, so that might help keep them away in the moment, but I wonder if later there is a slight scent of bay leaves and cloves that can smell near my skin. On a side note, if you want to get a similar high from bay leaves, but don't want to consume water they've been boiled in, you can always burn the bay leaves in a dish near you (1 or 2 will do the trick), and let the smoke float around the room for about 10 minutes as you go about your business. A relaxing way to end the day, and the leaves crackle and look cool as they burn. Obviously be safe anytime you mess with fire.

      I am not bothered by mosquitos as much as I used to but I blame the fermented garlic that I eat daily for that 😉 Haven’t seen any vampires around either, so it works! Fermented veggies are a staple in my daily food, I snack on them.
      But I am also going to try that bay leaf + water on my balcony, it might deter the flies trying to get in.

    I have a catio that allows bugs to come in around it since it’s not complete screening, so I tried this out as a wash on the doorway and have a pan of the cloves simmering while the catio is in use, more water than the recipe calls for so it doesn’t boil away. It does seem to help some but mainly also need a light to attract eh bugs away from the doorway. This might help some. But it’s not a complete solution for my situation.

Those always work for me. If all else fails, buy property somewhere in Montana or move into a neiborhood with more spacious zoning. LMK how it work out and BTW, no charge for the advice.

    SMALL holes in the clear wrap.... place around areas, even next to fruit & veggie bowels.... we COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT WE CAUGHT IN THOSE CUPS when we were away for just long weekend- easy, cheap, and effective!! ( yes, must be Apple Cider Vinegar, they love it!! )

      I do this too; except I use a small water or drink bottle that has a white cap and drill 2- small holes in the cap so the scent can get out to attract them. They crawl in and are unable to fly or crawl out. Been using that same bottle over and over for years and they can get really bad when I grow cantaloupe or tomatoes outside. Neem Oil concentrate mixed in water is what I use to keep moths from depositing larvae on the underside of leaves and chewing the leaves up.

    Good info to know; I didn't know cloves worked so well for mosquitoes. I've used lavender for years; mosquitoes suddenly leave me alone the instant I get the lavender oil out. Also good to know: peppermint is great for deterring ants from homesteading around your house. If you bought an old house and have what you thought was an invasive mint "infestation" no what you have is a previous occupant who knew things you didn't. Now try to find some ants. They won't be there. Bonus--my mother taught me to always put a bay leaf into the flour canister and the bags of dried beans and rice. Voila! no weevils!

I just lined the kitchen walls with it right under the baseboards and they never returned. It’s been over two months and I haven’t seen a single one. I still keep the powder there because I don’t want to risk it until summer is over.

    When I was watching the house of our neighbours, who were on holiday, I discovered one of there kitchen cabinets full of ants. Put som cloves in them. Next day the ants were gone. When the neighbours returned they were wondering what that cloves were doing in their kitchen. 😄

You can also spray it in the house. Even if you leave the Neem bottle around the bugs do not like the smell of it at all.
