Mosquitoes are an uninvited guest in every household. They are called troublesome insects for a reason. They wake us from sleep and the places where they bite itch. Furthermore, they can transmit serious illnesses and infections. Some people even have allergies to their bites and experience unpleasant reactions, mostly in the form of dermatological issues such as rashes or pimples.
How to get rid not only of mosquitoes, but also of flies and wasps
We experience problems with mosquitoes mainly in the summer months, when we are on vacation, enjoying time off, or simply airing out after a hot day. They can certainly ruin your evening with friends, a stay in the garden, or sitting by the fire. Against mosquitoes you can use
- repellents
- coffee
Repellents do not always work, and besides they smell unpleasant and strong. You can also get plug-in tablets. These gradually release a scent that repels mosquitoes. But we do not always have electricity at hand, and besides, not everyone likes inhaling these vapors all night. Did you know, however, that mosquitoes cannot stand the smell of coffee? And they are not the only ones. Coffee also does not smell appealing to wasps and flies. Two more reasons to try our natural repellent!
Prepare your natural repellent
Coffee is also natural and harmless. It will not harm anything if you inhale its vapors. There is nothing chemical in it. How to do it? Prepare some aluminum foil, a plate or a glass, coffee and matches. For an even stronger effect you can also add a dried bay leaf.
Use the glass or plate as a base on which you place a piece of aluminum foil. Then pour ground coffee onto the foil. Add the bay leaf. Light the substance and let it burn slowly. If it goes out, „light“ another match. You will see that mosquitoes will completely avoid your company. You will especially appreciate this method when sitting outside. It is quick, cheap and harmless to health. Forget about smelly chemical mixtures. Write to us where you have used this repellent and how satisfied you are with it.
