There’s nothing more annoying than trying to rest at night and finding a buzzing sound hovering around your ear that simply won’t let you sleep. That’s why today we have quick and clever solutions to get rid of the mosquitoes that are lurking around your home and that will eventually become a nuisance for you and your family.

Beer

It turns out that mosquitoes are attracted to beer. The trick is very simple, just leave a glass or two of cheap beer outside, either in the living room or in your own room, and the next day you will see that it’s an excellent mosquito trap.

Dish Soap

Apparently, the scent of liquid soap attracts mosquitoes, so leaving a small plate with about three or four tablespoons of dish soap is very useful when there are mosquitoes hovering around.

Citronella Candles

These candles work in two ways. The first is that the light and heat of the flame can attract mosquitoes, and the second is that the fresh lemon scent can repel those that might not want to get close to the fire.

Lavender Ribbons

For some reason, mosquitoes hate the scent of lavender, so if you’re having problems with them, it’s a good idea to spray a little lavender extract on some ribbons and tie them to the windows. This will make it harder for them to get in.

Rosemary

Mosquitoes don’t only attack at night, but also during the day when we’re enjoying a barbecue or a picnic. If you place a couple of bundles of rosemary over the fire, not only will you give a delicious flavor to the food, but its aroma will drive away the invaders.

Garlic

This can be a double-edged sword. It is known that if you eat a lot of garlic, it will repel mosquitoes because its natural oils are released from the body through our pores. The downside is that you will have to be mindful of your breath. Get Rid of Unused Water Glasses A somewhat concerning fact is that mosquitoes often lay eggs in glasses that have water. If you’re one of those people who leaves glasses all over the house, you may be helping mosquitoes reproduce. The ideal situation is to always wash the glasses and not leave them full overnight. Here are some more tips on how to keep mosquitoes away naturally. And if they start to attack, here’s how to prevent them from biting you.
