This morning, I was introduced to an eco-friendly insect repellent. I was actually looking at vegetable seeds as I wanted to plant some vegetables for my home use. So, this person who manages a farm explained all about planting vegetables to me and how they control pests in their organic farm.
They use this:
He specifically told me this is just a repellent and it does NOT kill any insects. It just repels them. Excellent, just what I was looking for as my new house seems to have a housefly colony that would have a field day whenever the cats eat.
This product is water-soluble and non-toxic. It is made of natural ingredients like garlic, chilli, clove oil, wood vinegar, etc.
Indy checks it out!

Interesting! Is it safe to spray on animals? I normally use water + eucalyptus oil solution to repel mosquitoes but I notice it doesn’t always work.
Don’t know yet. But I’ve tried and it really did not kill the flies or the little worms.
If you can share, where can i get this? Thank you Dr
I got mine from Medifoods, SS18/6, Subang Jaya.
Hi there,
There are some natural and homemade recipes that you can try that are good for repelling insects. You can try lemongrass + red chilli, just blend them, filter them and transfer the liquid into a spraying canister of some kind. My students did an assignment on this, and they really works!
