Just Put Cloves in the Empty Electric Raid – Never Suffer from Mosquitoes Again!
Mosquitoes are more than just a buzzing annoyance — they can ruin a good night’s sleep, irritate your skin, and even carry harmful diseases. Most people reach for chemical repellents or plug-in electric Raid devices to fight them off. But what if you could keep mosquitoes away using something as simple and natural as cloves?
Yes, you read that right. Just put cloves in your empty electric Raid diffuser, and you may never suffer from mosquitoes again. Here’s why this natural trick works — and how to do it properly.
🦟 Why Cloves Work Against Mosquitoes
Cloves (scientific name: Syzygium aromaticum) are not only known for their aromatic flavor in cooking, but also for their natural insect-repelling properties. They contain eugenol, a powerful compound with a strong scent that mosquitoes absolutely hate. Eugenol is often used in natural insect repellents and is even found in some commercial bug sprays.
By heating cloves in an electric diffuser — like your old empty Raid plug-in — you slowly release their natural oils into the air, creating a mosquito-repelling barrier in your room.
⚡ How to Use Cloves in an Empty Electric Raid Diffuser
Here’s how to do it step-by-step:
✅ What You Need:
- An empty electric Raid diffuser unit
- A handful of whole cloves (about 1–2 tablespoons)
- A few drops of clove oil (optional, but enhances the effect)
- (Optional) A small amount of carrier oil (like olive or baby oil) to help with slow heating
🔧 Instructions:
- Clean the Raid container: Make sure it’s completely empty and dry.
- Fill it with cloves: Drop whole cloves into the refill container until it’s about halfway full.
- (Optional) Add 5–10 drops of clove essential oil or a splash of carrier oil to enhance diffusion.
- Plug it in: Insert the container back into the electric diffuser and plug it into the wall.
- Let it work: As the device warms up, it will begin to release the scent of cloves into the air.
🕒 Within 10–15 minutes, your room will smell gently spicy — and mosquitoes will start to stay away.
🌿 Why This Natural Method Is Worth Trying
- ✅ Chemical-free – no exposure to synthetic insecticides
- ✅ Safe for kids and pets (just monitor the heat and placement)
- ✅ Budget-friendly – cloves are cheap and long-lasting
- ✅ Pleasant aroma – unlike harsh sprays or coils
- ✅ Repurposes old Raid devices instead of throwing them away
