Now is the time to bullet proof your home against these pesky beasts, and you don’t need to make a hole in your pocket doing it, here 5 house hold items you can use to make your very own mosquito repellant.
*Use detergent water: Yupp mosquitoes are going to be looking for water, so just leave a pan of detergent water near your window or balcony, any mosquitoes who sits on the surface will sink it.
*Citronella Candles: Citronella Essential Oil has been proved to keep mosquitoes at bay, it’s aroma is enough to send the little critters packing, so why not buy or even make your own candle infused with citronella oil.
*Eat more garlic: Besides having healing properties and smelling like a vampire fighter, you’ll also be repelling mosquitoes. This might not be your most favorite method but eating garlic will allow its oil to be released through your pores acting like a barrier between your skin and the mosquitoes.
*Vanilla: Just apply a few drops of Vanilla extract or essential oil to your pulse points and the mosquitoes shall bug thee no more. The sweet smelling liquid is completely atrocious to their sense and so they will not be coming near you any time soon.
*Lavender Cream: Slather yourself all over with lavender cream or lotion. This acts as an essential turn off for bugs and mosquitoes in general. There’s something in these sweet smelling oils that put them off their game.
