Then there are some remedies that can be used and there are several natural ones to avoid buying chemical insecticides. Among the most common are certainly coffee, which is detested by mosquitoes both in grain and powder, lemon and vinegar, due to their odor that they cannot tolerate.

But today we are going to see a different method that can help you sleep peacefully without having to fight mosquitoes all night. It is a repellent that you can make at home with products that you almost certainly already have available in your pantry. Let’s see below how to do it.

Mosquito trap: it is foolproof

As we said, mosquitoes are very annoying and you have to live with the increase in temperature. On this occasion we are not going to use the classic citronella repellent , always very effective, but an equally valid alternative that you can make at home in a few minutes.< /span>

To create this mosquito trap you will need: sugar, water, yeast, plastic bottle, plastic bag and adhesive tape . By mixing all these ingredients we will achieve a truly effective mixture to combat mosquitoes and keep them away from our body.

First you will need to take the plastic bottle and cut it a few centimeters from where the lid is placed. After cutting it, place the part with the lid inside the bottom of the bottle. Join the two parts of the bottle with adhesive tape to cover it.

Now start preparing the mixture against mosquitoes. Take a cup of water and add 50 g of sugar and a tablespoon of yeast. Mix all the ingredients and pour the mixture into the bottle you modified. Cover it with a dark cloth or a dark plastic bag and place it where you prefer.

The contact between brewer’s yeast and the sugar present in the water creates a substance that attracts mosquitoes. It is a chemical reaction that generates carbon dioxide. This is produced inside the bottle and rises through the funnel created to attract mosquitoes.

However, once the mosquitoes enter the trap they will no longer be able to leave and, above all, reproduce. This system is very effective but you have to change it frequently since the plastic in the bottles is very thin . In fact, it is advisable to use a bottle more frequently and change it every 20 days or so.

If you want to discover another method to stop seeing mosquitoes at home, here we wake you up with a very natural remedy .
