Mosquitoes are blood-sucking insects that cause discomfort to humans, not to mention they are vectors for diseases. So how do you get rid of mosquitoes, especially during the summer when they breed so quickly? Try the tips below.

Making

1. Use a knife to cut the plastic bottle so that the length of the top part (the part with the neck of the bottle) is equal to 1/3 of the bottle's length.

2. Take the cut-off bottom part of the bottle and pour some beer into it (about 1/3 of the bottle's bottom volume).

3. Add powdered soap or detergent to the beer to kill mosquitoes when they fall into the trap.

4. Continue adding a little more white sugar to attract mosquitoes.

5. Pour a little more water into the solution, then stir well with a wooden chopstick.

6. Turn the bottle cap upside down and place it on top of the bottom of the bottle containing the beer-soap-sugar solution you just made.

7. Finally, simply place these bottles of solution in areas where mosquitoes frequently fly, such as corners of cabinets, kitchen corners, under beds, etc. Mosquitoes will be lured into the bottles and killed inside, unable to escape.

Additionally, we can also use beer, sugar, laundry detergent, or even a solution of sugar water and baking soda poured into the bottom of the bottle; all of these are effective in attracting and trapping mosquitoes.

Other ways to kill mosquitoes

Lemon and cloves

Ingredient:

A few lemons

A few dried cloves (available at traditional Chinese medicine shops)

Here's how to do it:

1. Cut the lemon in half horizontally.

2. Take a moderate amount of dried cloves, then insert the stems into the side of half a lemon that has juice from the cloves.

3. Insert the lemon slices densely and evenly across all sides of the lemon, doing the same with the other lemon.

If you have a large house, you can arrange a few more half lemons like this, then place them in various corners of the house, such as on the living room table, dining room table, bathroom table, or any place where mosquitoes tend to fly (if you want to keep it cleaner, you can put the half lemon in a small bowl).

Candles in orange peel

Ingredient:

Peel of 2-3 oranges

Candle

Making:

1. After eating, leave the peel behind.

2. Attach candles to the orange peels and light them as usual, then place them in hidden corners of the house.
