Common household herbs and spices like cloves exhibit repellent effects towards insect. These can be mixed with other common household ingredients such as salt and softener to create a more pleasant indoor environment.
Eugenol present in common household spices like clove and cinnamon is the main chemical compound that creates the repellent effect. The mixture of fabric softener and salt establish a fragrance matrix that clings to surfaces, subtly releasing bursts of scent over an extended period. The longevity of the scent box mixture reduces the necessity for frequent reapplication which is very practical and cost-effective.
This activity conveys good example of common household ingredients mixture that can be used as simple household repellent and freshener.
