Clove is a popular home remedy for bed bugs due to its strong, insect-repellent odor, which is caused by the essential oil eugenol. It is important to note that this mixture does not kill bed bugs, it only repels them. This can cause the insects to move to other parts of your home and spread the problem.

The help of a professional exterminator is usually necessary for effective control. However, the clove mixture can be used as a supplementary measure or as a preventative measure.
