What You’ll Need

Medical tape (Urgo)
Essential oils or wind oil

Let’s Get Started!

Step 1: Begin by peeling off a piece of Urgo tape and adding a few drops of your chosen essential oil or wind oil.

Step 2: Attach the tape to the front mesh of an electric fan (set to a gentle speed). If you’re concerned about the tape being blown away, you can stick it to the back of the fan instead.

This setup will ensure that the breeze from the fan diffuses the essential oil throughout the room, effectively repelling mosquitoes.

Additionally, it will create a cooler and more pleasant atmosphere during hot summer days. If you don’t have air conditioning, this method is a fantastic alternative, helping you save a significant amount of money annually.

With just a few simple steps and easily accessible ingredients, you can now enjoy a mosquito-free environment and a refreshing bedroom. Here’s to a joyful summer!
