A WOMAN has shared the spice trick she uses to repel bugs from her kitchen.

TikTok user Val Taylor (@imvaltaylor) explained: "I’m cleaning out my pantry today and I wanted to show y’all this."

In her video, the TikToker revealed that she uses bay leaves as a natural bug repellant.

"This is a bay leaf, the same one you’d put in soups and stuff," she told her followers.

Val can be seen reaching behind the produce on her shelf and lifting out a bay leaf she had placed in the back of her pantry.

"So what I do when I clean off the counters and clean up all of these containers, I drop a bay leaf behind here because little bitty bugs and stuff don't like bay leaves," she explained.

In the clip's caption, Val encouraged her audience to "drop bay leaves in cabinets and the pantry."
