Overview

• Bay laurel’s essential oils emit an intense aroma that deters insects and rodents by disrupting their sense of smell.
• Repelled pests include cockroaches, weevils, moths, mosquitoes, ants, flies, mites, aphids, rats and mice.
• For direct use, fresh or dried leaves can be placed in cabinets, drawers, entryways and other infestation hotspots and replaced every two weeks.
• A homemade spray is made by boiling 300 grams of laurel leaves per liter of water, cooling, straining and misting treated areas.
• The leaf-based approach offers a non-toxic, pet- and child-safe alternative to chemical pesticides in kitchens, garages and living spaces.
