Looking for a way to freshen up your home while saying goodbye to pesky mosquitoes? This simple remedy does both! With just a few ingredients—lemon and cloves—you can create a powerful natural repellent that fills your space with a refreshing scent and keeps mosquitoes from ever coming back.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- 1 large lemon
- 1 small lemon
- Clove buds
- Bamboo skewers or sticks
- 2 white candles
How to Make It:
- Slice the large lemon in half and press clove buds into the cut surface until it’s covered.
- Take the white candles and trim them so they fit snugly into the center of each lemon half.
- Place the lemon halves on a sturdy surface and arrange four bamboo sticks upright around each one to create a little structure.
- Slice the small lemon in half and use each half as a lid to lightly cap the top of the clove-filled lemons.
- Light the candles and enjoy the amazing citrusy aroma while mosquitoes vanish from your space.
What you’ve just made is more than a natural repellent—it’s a homemade aromatic lantern! The combination of warm lemon and cloves not only gives off a pleasant smell but naturally wards off mosquitoes, making your home feel cozier and bug-free.
