Bay leaf is a unique spice that should be in every home.

It is enough to scatter a few dry bay leaves in the corners of your home.

In just a week or two, there will be no trace of ants and small bugs. It's all about the special smell that repels pests.

Also, a little ground spice should be left on the shelves where cereals and flour are stored.

Still, insects can also start up in such products, but bay leaves won’t give them a chance.

In addition, some gardeners actively use the spice to prepare plant fertilizers.
