Repel Mosquitoes with a Kitchen Staple
Coffee grounds can be used as a cost-effective and EPA-approved solution to repel mosquitoes. By burning dried coffee grounds, the scents that attract mosquitoes are masked, creating a smoky aroma that repels them. Additionally, spreading coffee grounds on your lawn or around plants can deter a broader range of pests. However, caution should be taken to ensure the safety of pets and wildlife. Coffee grounds also offer benefits to soil, such as additional nutrients and acidity. So, next time you brew a cup of coffee, save the grounds for a mosquito-free and pest-free environment.
