1 Citrus Power: Repel Mosquitos with Dried Orange Peels
Don’t discard those orange peels after dessert! Instead, dry them out and in the evening, burn the dried peels to infuse your home with a citrusy scent. Limonene, a compound found in orange essential oil, is a natural mosquito repellent. They’ll be scared away in no time! Alternatively, rub the peels directly on your skin, especially areas prone to bites like your hands and feet, for added protection.
2 Sweet Trap: A Mosquito’s Downfall
This next method is a cost-effective way to get rid of those pesky biters. Simply mix some sugary water in a basin, ensuring the sides are coated, and add a bit of liquid soap. Place the basin in mosquito-prone areas like the bathroom, toilet, or anywhere with standing water. Mosquitos are attracted to the sweetness and the stickiness of the mixture, but the soap will be their downfall, as it contains compounds that are harmful to these insects.
3 Mosquito Coil and Mint Oil: A Dynamic Duo
To supercharge your mosquito coils, add a few drops of mint oil to the coil before lighting it up. The mint oil contains menthol, a natural enemy of mosquitos. This simple hack will make your coils up to ten times more effective!
4 Floor Cleaner with Essential Oils: Clean and Pest-Free
Add some punch to your daily floor cleaning routine by infusing your cleaning water with essential oils like lemongrass, licorice, eucalyptus, or mint. Not only will your home be left smelling fresh and clean, but the nepetalactone found in these oils will create a mosquito-repelling force field around your home. They won’t stand a chance!
