We fight with mosquitoes in all possible ways, because their invasion can ruin every summer evening effectively. We plant repellent plants, use essential oils, and even special lamps or chemicals. Meanwhile, kitchen waste will deal with mosquitoes, which are coffee grounds. Use them in an unusual way.
Coffee coffee grounds secrete a specific aroma that mosquitoes hate. However, it is not enough to scatter them, because the smell is natural and quickly escapes. For mosquitoes it is no obstacle. The smoking of this kitchen waste is a much more effective way.
When burning dry coffee coffee grounds, smoke with an intense aroma is released, which effectively scares mosquitoes. This smoke acts like a natural repellent, discouraging insects from approaching the place where it floats. You can simply dry a handful of coffee grounds and set them on fire in a heat -resistant dish. It can also be a food film or a ceramic bowl. Slowly, the coffee grounds will smolder, they will release an intense smell.
