Brilio.net - Mosquito bites are not only a problem of skin irritation, but can also cause health risks such as dengue fever (DBD) . According to information from pfizer.com, mosquitoes bite to get protein from human blood. Female mosquitoes are the ones that bite because they need protein to reproduce and lay eggs.
Therefore, it is very important to overcome the problem of mosquitoes at home to avoid various diseases. There are many ways to eradicate mosquitoes , such as using burning medicine, sprays, natural herbs, or mosquito rackets. Mosquito rackets are one easy and fast way, but not everyone has them.
However, if you don't have a mosquito racket, there is a creative way to make your own with ingredients available at home. One netizen on TikTok, @danestehseger123, shared a unique method that only requires one tool and kitchen ingredients. If you are curious about this method, let's see the explanation!
"A powerful recipe passed down from our ancestors to eradicate the bitch mosquitoes," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @danestehseger123 on Wednesday (18/9).
First, prepare any type of pot lid that you have at home. Then, pour a little oil into the inside of the pot lid. TikTok account owner @danestehseger123 uses coconut oil, but you can also use other alternative oils such as vegetable oil, corn oil, or other oils.
After pouring, don't forget to apply oil so that it spreads throughout the inside of the pan lid. You can spread it using your hands or a brush that is usually used for cooking.

Next, shake the oiled pan lid into the air if you feel there are mosquitoes flying around. Because of the wide shape of the pan lid, this tool can automatically work effectively like a mosquito repellent racket, but without electricity or batteries at all.
Netizens on the TikTok account @danestehseger123 also showed the results of their mosquito "hunt" using this pan lid. It was proven that there were more than 30 mosquitoes that were successfully trapped. Wow, that's a lot, huh?
