Brilio.net - Home is the safest and most comfortable place to rest after doing activities outside. Therefore, it is important to keep every room clean and tidy at all times. If the house is dirty or messy, mosquitoes often come.
In fact, mosquitoes often come even though the house is clean and tidy, especially if you forget to close the door or window tightly at night. If mosquitoes have entered the house, these animals are very difficult to eradicate. Usually, people use special mosquito sprays or repellents so that mosquitoes die or leave the house.
However, the use of mosquito repellent can cause smoke or an unpleasant aroma for humans to inhale. In fact, as reported by blog.nwf.org, mosquito repellent products are at risk of causing skin irritation, dizziness, nausea, or other health problems if inhaled excessively by humans.
Instead of using mosquito repellent that smells and smokes, you can use a number of kitchen ingredients to deal with mosquitoes that are flying around your house. A netizen on the TikTok account @simba_memory shared how to make it. Curious about how?
