Although small and weak, mosquitoes are harmful creatures that can cause many serious health problems. In many ways, we can take advantage of some tips to kill mosquitoes right at home, including using a combination of beer and laundry detergent.
Repel mosquitoes with beer and laundry detergent
Repelling mosquitoes with beer and laundry detergent is not only easy but also brings quick and effective results.
All you need to do is prepare some ingredients that are available in the kitchen, including: 1 leftover beer bottle, 2 tablespoons of laundry detergent, 2 plastic bottles to discard, 1 small knife, sugar, and water.
What is the purpose of mixing detergent powder with beer?
Steps to make the beer and laundry detergent mixture to repel mosquitoes:
Dissolve beer with laundry detergent so that the amount of beer is enough to dissolve the detergent. Add water if the solution is too thick.
Stir the mixture evenly with a chopstick and let it sit.
Use a knife to cut the plastic bottle into 2 parts in a 2/3 ratio – the funnel part at the mouth of one bottle and the bottom part at 2/3. Pour the dissolved solution into the bottom of the bottle and place the funnel (the mouth part of the bottle) close to the solution.
Let the mixture sit for a few days. Mosquitoes will smell the beer and come to it, sinking into the mixture. They will run away and no longer bother around your house.
You can apply this beer mosquito repellent method 1-2 times a week and no longer have to worry about mosquitoes constantly lurking and causing harm to your family.
Is repelling mosquitoes with beer effective?
Beer is attractive with its aroma, which makes mosquitoes easily fall for and get trapped. Beer kills mosquitoes because it has the scent of various ingredients, making mosquitoes drown in the solution and cannot survive.
Furthermore, beer is safe, harmless, and does not contain harmful chemicals. With the method of killing mosquitoes with beer, mosquitoes will not come to your house and gradually disappear. You only need to perform the above steps once and use it in the long term.
However, when using the beer mosquito repellent method, you need to note the following points:
Clean up your house, avoid dark and humid places that can cause mosquitoes to breed and thrive.
Avoid leaving cups, packaging, or containers outside near plants for a long time. Mosquitoes easily breed and thrive in areas with stagnant water.
You can place beer in corners of the house or on tables, anywhere mosquitoes go through.
For families with small children, keep the mixture out of reach of children to prevent them from swallowing it.
You can use any available beer. You can also use other mosquito repellent methods such as using essential oils, fragrances, or different types of soap.
