Are you troubled by mosquitoes? Skip buying expensive spray-machines; Adopt these home remedies!

It is often seen that the menace of mosquitoes increases in homes as the evening approaches. Due to which we get worried. Change in weather, humidity and dirt cause rapid growth of mosquitoes. This not only affects sleep and daily routine, but also increases the risk of diseases like dengue, malaria and chikungunya. In such a situation, people immediately resort to coil, spray or machine, but these chemical products can also be harmful for health.

The first home remedy is neem smoke, which rural families have been using for a long time to protect themselves from mosquitoes. The smoke produced by burning dry neem leaves, wood or neem oil is considered very effective in driving away mosquitoes. This smoke spreads rapidly in the corners of the house and drives out the mosquitoes hiding there. The special thing is that Neem has natural anti-bacterial and anti-insect properties, which also purify the air. By adopting this remedy daily in the evening, the number of mosquitoes reduces significantly.

The second solution is the combination of lemon and clove, which is easily available in many homes without any expense. By cutting a lemon into two parts and burying four-five pieces of cloves in it, mosquitoes do not like the combined aroma. By keeping it in the room, kitchen or bedroom, mosquitoes are not able to stay there. This method is considered safe especially in children’s rooms, because it does not contain any kind of chemical. Its fragrance remains effective for several hours, due to which mosquitoes hesitate to enter the room again and the environment also feels fresh.

The third home remedy is a mixture of camphor and mustard oil, the aroma emanating when burnt instantly drives away mosquitoes. By immersing camphor in mustard oil in a small bowl and burning it, it slowly spreads in the room. Its effect becomes visible in just 10-15 minutes and the number of mosquitoes reduces significantly. Camphor has natural insect repellent properties, while mustard oil retains its aroma in the air for a long time. This solution is especially beneficial in those houses where small children live and chemical smoke cannot be used.

Tulsi plant is also considered a natural remedy to protect against mosquitoes. Keeping a Tulsi plant near the doors, windows or balcony of the house prevents mosquitoes from coming near that area, because the strong aroma of Tulsi does not seem favorable to them. Many people mix basil oil in water and sprinkle it in the room like a spray, which provides immediate relief from mosquitoes. Tulsi also has anti-bacterial and medicinal properties, which purify the environment. This solution is especially suitable for those households which prefer natural and cost-free methods.

The pungent smell of garlic does not allow mosquitoes to come near. By boiling some cloves of garlic in water, filling the mixture in a spray bottle and sprinkling it in the room, mosquitoes disappear immediately. This home method is more useful in those places where the number of mosquitoes suddenly increases in the evening. Apart from this, keeping crushed garlic cloves in the corners of the house also keeps mosquitoes away. By adopting all these natural remedies, people can get rid of mosquitoes safely without any chemicals and the environment of the house also remains clean.
