How to make your own mosquito repellent water

Things you need

– Ash from burned mosquito repellent incense

– Water bowl

– Sugar

– Cooking oil

Instructions

Step 1: Pour a suitable amount of ash from burned mosquito repellent incense into a large bowl.


Step 2: Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the bowl.

Step 3: Continue adding 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the bowl, then fill it up to 2/3 full with water; stir well to dissolve sugar and ash from burned mosquito repellent incense.


Step 4: Place this water bowl in an area with a lot of mosquitoes, and overnight you will see mosquitoes dying in the water bowl.


The reason this method works is because: Cooking oil and sugar are two substances that attract mosquitoes. Meanwhile, the residual pyrethroid in the ash from burned mosquito repellent incense helps kill mosquitoes. At the same time, when swimming into the water bowl, mosquitoes quickly suffocate and cannot escape.

In addition to making mosquito repellent water, you can also plant some types of plants around your house to repel mosquitoes.

+ Lemongrass

+ Citronella grass

+ Lavender

+ Basil

+ Mint

+ Peppermint

+ Lemon balm

+ Lavender

+ Marigold

+ Wormwood

+ Lotus.
