The most effective trick to keep mosquitoes away from the balcony
Who doesn’t like spending evenings on the balcony in good weather? Maybe, if spacious enough, even set up a table and eat. To ruin these very pleasant plans there are always them, the omnipresent and annoying mosquitoes.
There are many methods to keep mosquitoes away, from repellents applied to the skin to chemical sprays, even electronic devices. Few people know, however, that to say goodbye to mosquitoes forever, just one natural ingredient is enough: coffee.
The aroma of coffee, in fact, is unbearable for some insects, including mosquitoes, who will therefore stay away from it. Below we explain various ways to use coffee to ward off mosquitoes.
Coffee-based spray
Prepare the coffee as you normally do and mix it with an equal part of water. To increase the effect, also add a little vinegar.
Pour everything into a bottle equipped with a spray diffuser and spray the solution in the corners of the balcony, terrace or windows. This remedy will create an invisible barrier that will prevent the arrival of mosquitoes.
Coffee grounds
Save the coffee grounds and let them dry well. Then place them in a saucer covered with foil and, using a lighter or a match, light the coffee on fire, being very careful not to burn yourself.
Carry out the operation in a safe place to avoid possible accidents.
