Magic Ingredient: Repel Mosquitos with Delicious-Smelling Baking
Vanilla extract, with its sweet aroma, can help repel mosquitoes by masking scents that attract them. Unlike chemical-based repellents, vanilla extract offers a safer and more pleasant option. To use it as a mosquito repellent, mix one part vanilla extract with two parts water in a spray bottle and apply it to exposed skin or clothing. However, it's important to perform a patch test before applying it to a larger area and reapply every few hours for maximum effectiveness.
