Mosquitoes are one of the insects that often come to the house. In fact, this insect is considered dangerous because it causes dengue fever. If left alone, the mosquito population can increase.
To get rid of mosquitoes , some people directly burn mosquito coils. But sometimes, the smoke from mosquito repellent makes some people cough. Reporting from coalitionbebastar.com, mosquito repellent produces formaldehyde which, if inhaled continuously, causes nausea, coughing and watery eyes.
To get around this, you can mix your own natural mosquito repellent at home. As did Instagram user @lie_denielcandra. In his video upload, this netizen appears to rely on one type of spice. Wondering what the ingredients are?

Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @lie_denielcandra on Sunday (7/7), one type of spice that needs to be prepared is lemongrass. Apart from that, he also appeared to use clothing freshener. The first step, pour the clothing fragrance liquid into a container. You don't need to add any more water, OK?

If so, put the lemongrass pieces into the container. As seen in the video upload, this netizen used around 5 pieces of lemongrass. This homemade mosquito repellent can be placed directly in the corner of the room or where mosquitoes usually visit. Instead of making you cough, this mosquito repellent actually emits a fragrant fragrance. Not only that, mosquitoes won't dare to come close and will just leave. Because, as reported by rentokil.com, lemongrass contains geraniol and citronellal which mosquitoes don't like. When the fragrance is gone, all you have to do is replace it with a new liquid fragrance for your clothes. Don't forget, replace the lemongrass so it can repel mosquitoes optimally.
