With the arrival of summer, in addition to high temperatures, another uncomfortable companion arrives: mosquitoes. Those annoying insects that prevent us from opening the windows at night (except if we have mosquito nets), and that peck at us without us noticing.
In addition to putting some species of plants that drive away these insects, there is a trick to keep them away from your home that you surely have at home: the lemon (1.99 euros a bag of 750 gr).
This fruit that we use so much for cooking, to flavor drinks, or to clean, is a unique ingredient to keep mosquitoes away from our home. In fact, its aroma and pungent taste make it an excellent insect repellant.
But if you want lemon to be much more effective against mosquitoes, there is another trick you should know: you have to combine it with clove (8.49 euros). Cut the lemon in half, and insert the cloves into the pulp, leaving the round end facing out.
Whole cloves (125g), whole cloves, gently dried, 100% natural, vegan
When you have it ready, place the lemon in the area where mosquitoes enter, or in the bedroom or living room. Its simple smell will drive away these hateful insects that prevent us from enjoying the summer.
