Stop Mosquito Breeding: Natural Mosquito Repellent Recipe
Mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnant water, so the key to getting rid of them is to prevent their breeding and repel the adults.
DIY Mosquito Killer Spray
Ingredients:
1 cup of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
10 drops of tea tree oil or lavender oil
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 cup of water
Instructions:
Mix all the ingredients in a spray bottle.
Shake well and spray around mosquito-prone areas: near standing water, windows, and doorways.
Repeat every 2-3 days to keep mosquitoes away.
Bonus Tip: Sprinkle coffee grounds or a few drops of dish soap in stagnant water sources (like plant saucers, drains, or puddles). This prevents mosquito larvae from surviving.
Cockroaches thrive in damp, dark places, but they hate natural deterrents like borax, sugar, and bay leaves.
