How to Use Ground Coffee to Repel Flies and Mosquitoes
Here’s a step-by-step guide to using ground coffee as a fly and mosquito repellent:
Collect Used Coffee Grounds
Save the coffee grounds after brewing your coffee. Allow them to dry completely, as damp grounds won’t burn effectively.
Choose a Safe Burning Area
Use a heat-resistant surface or a small metal container to burn the coffee grounds. This can be done outdoors or in a well-ventilated space.
Burn the Coffee Grounds
Place a small pile of dried coffee grounds in the container and light them with a match. Let them smolder—similar to incense. The slow-burning grounds will produce a smoky aroma that repels insects.
Position Strategically
Place the burning grounds in areas where flies and mosquitoes are most active, such as near doors, windows, patios, or gardens. Be cautious to keep the container away from flammable materials.
