Natural Mosquito Control: The Surprising Power of Coffee

ADVERTISEMENT

A few drops of vanilla or citronella essential oil for extra mosquito-repelling power

How to make:
Spread your used coffee grounds on a tray and let them dry completely.

Once dried, place a small amount in a fireproof container.

Carefully light the coffee grounds with a match—allow them to smolder rather than catch fire.

Place the container on your balcony, patio, or near windows to create a natural smoke barrier.

Optionally, add a few drops of essential oil before lighting for added scent and protection.
