Unfortunately, the summer season brings with it several particularly annoying insects, including mosquitoes. Especially in the evening, there are sometimes so many of them that no one can enjoy an evening outside without getting bitten. There are many skin-friendly products on the market that repel them, and just as many chemical products that eliminate or neutralize them. But today we offer you a natural remedy to keep them away from your home.
DIY Mosquito Repellent in Minutes for Only 25 Cents
The first thing you need to do is get a bottle like a Coca-Cola bottle . Cut it more or less in the center, where at a certain point the bottle narrows. In any case, you can also use other plastic bottles, as long as they have a narrow exit hole.
Then, place 300 ml of warm water at the bottom of the bottle , not exceeding 40°C, otherwise the yeast will die. However, first add 4 tablespoons of sugar and stir until dissolved. The two elements should not be placed at the same time to avoid the release of carbon dioxide, which will cause them to become coated with water.
For this reason, we propose this mixture that releases it and attracts mosquitoes by trapping them. Let’s return to the preparation.
Once the sugar has dissolved, let the water cool slightly and when it drops below 40°, add a cube of yeast or 25 grams of powdered yeast and mix everything together.
Next, take the top of the bottle and insert it upside down into the other part of the bottle with the mixture. Place it inside or outside (in this case, secure the two parts of the bottle together with a bit of tape). The mixture should be changed every three or four days. The cost of making this mosquito repellent is about 25/30 cents.
Rest assured, this is a great DIY solution to get rid of mosquitoes!
