In these days, the high humidity in the air, combined with the weather preparing for the change of season, is the ideal condition for mosquitoes to breed and develop, returning to “haunt” the lives of many families.
Mosquitoes, especially midges, not only bite, suck blood and cause itching for humans, but they are also the cause of a number of dangerous diseases such as dengue fever.
Mosquito bites are an obsession, not only causing discomfort but also causing a number of dangerous diseases for humans. (Illustration)
However, repelling mosquitoes is inherently not that simple. Many families are afraid to use chemical sprays for fear of affecting the health of everyone around. So try how to make a solution from natural ingredients below.
From lemongrass and vinegar or white wine
This is the most common and most used method in making a solution to catch and repel mosquitoes in the house. In particular, lemongrass has a strong scent, is one of the top mosquito repellant plants, and vinegar or alcohol has a disinfecting and cleaning effect.
It’s very simple to do:
– Prepare lemongrass, about 8 – 12 plants. Vinegar or white wine about 200ml with a little filtered water.
– Cut lemongrass into small pieces, peel and then smash.
– Put lemongrass just smashed into a glass jar, pour the alcohol/vinegar solution and water into it. Note to pour so that the lemongrass is completely submerged.
– Cover the jar and leave it for 3 days to let the lemongrass start to absorb the solution.
– After 3 days, take out the soaked lemongrass, puree. Continue to take the crushed lemongrass part and cover it in an airtight container for about 3 weeks.
– Results after 3 weeks, remove all the lemongrass residue, we get lemongrass essential oil.
After being soaked in the solution for many days, we get the result of lemongrass essential oil, which effectively repels mosquitoes. (Illustration)
You can use this essential oil to burn or keep in the corner of the room, the scent of lemongrass will help repel mosquitoes effectively.
From orange peel, tangerine peel
Do not rush to throw away orange or tangerine peels after eating because they also have a good anti-mosquito effect.
In this method, we will combine orange peel, tangerine peel with a little olive oil, forming a small candle, helping to repel mosquitoes from the room.
Here’s how:
– Choose large fruits, then separate and remove the shell so that the shell is intact, especially the core must be kept.
– Note that when separating and removing the shell, it should be handled gently. Using your fingers to thread through the cut, gently push the peel off in a circular motion around the orange, separating the orange rind from the pulp.
– Pour olive oil into the orange peel so that the oil does not cover the core. Here, the core plays the main role of the candle wick.

Finally, just light the fire to light the candle. This method not only helps repel mosquitoes but also makes your home more fragrant thanks to the scent of oranges / tangerines.
In case you don’t have olive oil to make a candle, you can simply burn orange/mandarin peels, this also works to repel mosquitoes, but the effect will be shorter.
From wind oil
Oil and wind is something that is extremely familiar to each of us, almost every family has it.
There are many ways to repel mosquitoes with wind oil:
– Prepare a small cup or basin of water placed in the corner of the house or the corner of the room, dark and humid places often gather many mosquitoes. Add a few drops of wind oil to the prepared water. It will effectively repel mosquitoes
– Apply wind oil on some items in the house or on the body to prevent mosquitoes. You can apply wind oil on the fan blades, then turn on the fan to run, the oil fragrance will follow the direction of the wind and spread to the whole room.
Wind oil has a cool property, the smell of pepper makes mosquitoes “stay away” and do not dare to “get close” to you and your family.
