Soaking mosquito coils in water is a great way to solve the big problems of every household, which is both cost-effective and practical.
With the arrival of the end of June, the scorching summer officially kicked off. Temperatures are rocketing, and with them are mosquito headaches. Not only do they "buzz" in the ears at night, making it impossible for people to sleep peacefully, but they can also spread diseases and pose a hidden danger to the health of family members. In the face of these small creatures, how can we repel mosquitoes safely and effectively?
Traditional mosquito coils are undoubtedly a fast and effective means of repelling mosquitoes, but as we all know, mosquito coils often contain some microtoxic ingredients that are harmful to the human body. Especially for those families with infants or the elderly, it is obviously not wise to light mosquito coils directly. So, is there a way to repel mosquitoes and be relatively safe? Today, I would like to share with you a mosquito repellent trick that is especially suitable for families with infants and young children, the mosquito coil soaking method. This method is simple to use, effective, and safe and cost-effective.
First of all, we need to prepare some simple materials: two small bowls or disposable paper cups, mineral water bottles and other containers that are not commonly used, as well as an appropriate amount of mosquito coils, warm water, and some common condiments. The procedure is as follows:
1. Prepare two to three bowls (or cups) as needed. When removing mosquito coils, there may be small broken pieces, so just put them in a bowl. If there is no broken mosquito coil, you can also break the remaining mosquito coil into small pieces. Put five or six mosquito coils in each bowl.
2. Next, add an appropriate amount of warm water to the bowl, and the temperature is controlled at about 30 degrees Celsius, and the amount of water can reach half of the bowl. The purpose of this step is to allow the mosquito repellent component of the mosquito coil to dissolve better in the water.
3. Then, add 3-5 drops of white vinegar and 6-8 drops of wind oil. Both white vinegar and wind oil essence have a certain mosquito repellent effect, which can enhance the effect of mosquito repellent water. Stir well with a stick so that the mosquito repellent ingredients are fully dissolved in the water.
4. Finally, cover with a layer of plastic wrap and prick a few small holes with a toothpick. The purpose of this is to allow the mosquito repellent water to evaporate slowly and prolong the mosquito repellent time. Place this bowl of mosquito repellent water in a place where mosquitoes can easily enter, such as a window or doorway in your room. When we open and close doors and windows, mosquitoes will be dispersed by the strong smell and will not dare to approach.
Compared with directly lighting mosquito coils, the mosquito coil soaking method is safer, and can also greatly reduce the cost of mosquito repellent and save us a lot of mosquito coil money. At the same time, it also avoids the impact of smoke and odor from the burning of mosquito coils on the family, especially suitable for families with children or the elderly. Mosquito coil soaking is a practical and cost-effective method of mosquito repellent. Don't forget to follow me for more practical life tips!
