Put cloves and a cinnamon stick in your RAID and you’ll never have to deal with mosquitoes at home again — but what if you could boost the effect naturally and even avoid using chemicals?

Here’s how these simple ingredients work and three ways to use them effectively:

✅ 1. RAID + Cloves + Cinnamon + Coconut Oil

If you still use RAID but want to make it stronger and less toxic, try this method:

What to do:

• Add 10–15 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, and a few drops of coconut oil to the RAID refill container
• Let it sit for a few hours before using

Why it works:

• ✅ Cloves contain eugenol, a powerful natural mosquito repellent
• ✅ Cinnamon blocks mosquito scent receptors
• ✅ Coconut oil slows evaporation and boosts diffusion
• ✅ You’ll need less spray while getting a stronger effect

✅ 2. Cloves + Cinnamon stick+ Coffee Beans

A safer, natural method that repels mosquitoes without chemicals.

You need:

• 10–15 cloves
• Cinnamon stick or Citrus slices (lemon or orange)
• Optional: a few drops of clove oil or coconut oil or olive oil

How to use:

• Insert the cloves into the citrus slices
• Place them near windows, beds, balconies, or sitting areas
• Add a few drops of oil on top for more intensity

Benefits:
✔ Repels mosquitoes for hours
✔ Non-toxic and safe for kids & pets
✔ Refreshing natural aroma

✅ 3. Coffee + Clove + Cinnamon Smoke Method

Perfect for balconies, patios, gardens, or evening indoor use.

You need:

• A heatproof bowl or clay plate
• 1 tbsp coffee grounds or whole beans
• 5–10 cloves
• 1 cinnamon stick (broken in pieces)

How to use:

• Place all ingredients in the bowl
• Light gently until slow smoke is released (like incense)

Why it works:

• ✅ Coffee smoke confuses mosquito breathing sensors
• ✅ Cloves repel with their strong aroma
• ✅ Cinnamon affects their nervous system
  ✔ 100% natural • no toxic sprays • fast effect

✅ 4. DIY Oil Spray (RAID Alternative)

A homemade spray for doors, windows, curtains and diluted use on skin.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp alcohol or witch hazel
• 10 drops clove essential oil
• 5 drops cinnamon oil
• Optional: a few drops of coconut or olive oil

How to use:

• Mix everything in a spray bottle
• Shake well before each use

• • Spray around entry points or lightly on skin (diluted)

⚠️ Precautions (Important!)

• ❌ Do not leave smoke or heat sources unattended
• ❌ Avoid inhaling smoke directly—ventilate after use
• ❌ Essential oils may irritate skin—test first
• ❌ Keep RAID and oils away from children and pets
• ❌ Pregnant or asthmatic individuals should avoid strong scents and smoke
• ❌ Do not apply essential oils undiluted on skin or animals
• ❌ Avoid placing oil mixtures on delicate surfaces (wood, polished furniture)

✅ These methods support repelling mosquitoes naturally or with less chemical exposure, but they do not replace professional treatment if there’s a large infestation.
