Monsoon season brings refreshing showers but also unwelcome guests: mosquitoes. Explore these tried-and-true, natural mosquito repellents that are easy
to make at home.
Lemon Clove Magic
A classic Indian trick! Simply take a lemon, stud it with cloves, and place it near you. The combination creates a potent aroma that mosquitoes can't stand. It's a simple, fragrant shield that works wonders, perfect for setting up on your verandah during those chai-sipping evenings.
Soapy Water Trap
Create a soapy water trap! Combine water with soap in a container; mosquitoes are drawn to it and get trapped. The scent and composition of the mixture is very effective. Remember to place the container where mosquitoes are most active, near windows and doors, and keep refreshing it.
Coffee Ground Smoke
Burning coffee grounds can be a simple solution. The smoke released creates a strong odor that mosquitoes dislike, pushing them away. It's a great idea, especially in your garden, to enjoy the monsoon with friends while keeping mosquitoes at bay.
Garlic Spray Savior
Make a garlic spray to keep mosquitoes from bothering you. Garlic's potent smell acts as a barrier. The spray is easy to make and a great choice, perfect for spritzing around your home and balcony. The strong smell is effective against mosquitoes, making it the perfect addition to your monsoon routine.
LED Yellow Light
Switching to a yellow LED light can minimize mosquito attraction. It's a simple swap that can make a big difference, particularly during the evening hours. The right lighting can help prevent mosquito bites and is a great practical change to your home during the monsoon.
