How to Keep Mosquitoes Away at Night with a Natural Coffee Remedy

Why Does It Work?

Mosquitoes are very sensitive to strong odors, and the aroma of coffee is particularly unpleasant to them. This method is not only effective, but also has the advantage of being completely natural and free .

In addition to coffee, you can boost your mosquito repellent with simple daily measures. Close windows at dusk, use well-fitted mosquito nets, and avoid standing water on balconies or terraces. You can also combine the coffee remedy with other natural solutions like citronella or lavender essential oils , creating an unfavorable environment for these insects without compromising your health or the environment.

Other Natural Remedies to Try

If coffee isn’t enough for you or you want to alternate methods, there are other effective natural solutions against mosquitoes:

• Burn some dried sage leaves : the aroma released keeps insects away.
• Plant geraniums or basil on your balcony : these plants are unpleasant to mosquitoes.
• Use vinegar and cloves in a glass near your bed.
• Make DIY sprays with water and essential oils (peppermint, tea tree, eucalyptus).
• Keep drains and plant pots clean to prevent their proliferation.
