The strongest insecticide against mosquitoes? In the kitchen
You can make an effective insect repellent spray with just a few ingredients you have at home. This spray is capable of repelling the annoying insects that could infest the house and garden during the summer season. The ingredients needed to prepare this remedy are vinegar and cinnamon.
White wine vinegar against mosquitoes
It may seem necessary to use harsh chemicals to control insects such as flies, mosquitoes, wasps, pests and aphids that feed on plants.
It is important to avoid using chemicals, as numerous studies show that they can cause a decline in insect populations, including bees, and potentially lead to pathological conditions in humans.
Cinnamon and vinegar against mosquitoes
Cinnamon and vinegar are two ingredients that work effectively as insect repellents and are also environmentally friendly. Cinnamon is rich in essential oils that can promote the well-being of the body.
Whole cinnamon sticks
In Chinese medicine, it is often used as an analgesic and to combat intestinal viruses. In addition, cinnamon contains high amounts of iron and calcium, making it a natural mineral supplement.
Cinnamon not only makes sweets taste better thanks to its smell, but it is also a smell that many insects find unpleasant. This makes it a useful ally in the fight against insects, especially mosquitoes. It is an extremely effective spice as an insecticide. You can use sticks, powder or essential oil to make your own insect repellent spray.
Goodbye insects
To make an insect repellent spray that is safe for pets, you can fill a spray bottle half full of vinegar and half full of water.
To make the mixture more effective, you can add 20 drops of essential oil or four cinnamon sticks. If you use essential oil, there is no need to wait for the mixture to settle. However, if you use cinnamon, you should wait a few days for the spice to release the essential oil into the liquid.
Essential oil
The advantage of cinnamon is its ability to repel mosquitoes, making it suitable for use as a natural repellent to spray on skin and clothing, as well as around plants, to prevent the laying of eggs in saucers.
The water, vinegar and cinnamon-based mixture can also be used as an insecticide spray to protect the house and garden from insect pests. However, care should be taken when applying it to the skin, as cinnamon can cause irritation.
