Bonus: Bay Leaves Are Safe and Non-Toxic
Unlike chemical insecticides, bay leaves are:
- Safe around kids and pets
- Non-toxic and biodegradable
- Affordable and easy to find in any grocery store
They won’t kill pests directly, but they’re an excellent repellent that helps keep your home pest-free in a safe, eco-friendly way.
🧠 Pro Tip: Boost the Power with Essential Oils
To make this trick even more powerful, add a few drops of bay leaf essential oil or eucalyptus oil to cotton balls and place them alongside the leaves. The smell will be even more intense and long-lasting.
