Summer, the season of love and hate. Sun, beach, ice cream, these are all synonymous with the beauty of summer, but in the same way, summer also brings two small things that cause headaches – mosquitoes and flies.
As the temperature gradually rises, these two "bullies" begin to act recklessly. Mosquitoes not only feed on human blood and make people itch unbearably, but they also buzz at night and disturb our sweet dreams.
Flies, on the other hand, are the spreaders of bacteria and viruses, and they fly around the house and are everywhere, bringing great trouble to family life.
So, how to solve these two problems effectively? Don't worry, this issue will give you some tips, just a bowl of water, you can make mosquitoes and flies "hell"!
First, we prepare a container, which can be a bowl, a plate, or anything that can hold liquids.
Then, add a teaspoon of brown sugar to the container.
Brown sugar, the dessert seasoning that every household has, turned out to be our secret weapon to eradicate mosquitoes.
Why brown sugar? Because the taste of brown sugar and water is similar to the smell of human sweat, it can attract mosquitoes.
When mosquitoes look for targets, they mainly rely on the smell of human sweat and body temperature. So, we use brown sugar to simulate sweat stains to lure mosquitoes into their nets.
Next, we add some laundry detergent to the container.
Laundry detergent can be very useful! Once the mosquito flies into the container, the foam produced by the laundry detergent quickly blocks the mosquito's airway, making them unable to breathe and eventually drowning in the container.
Moreover, laundry detergent is equally fatal to flies.
Friends in the countryside may have the experience that after washing clothes in the summer, if the laundry water is left in the basin and not emptied up, it will soon find that there are many dead flies floating in the basin.
This is because flies are attracted to the scent of laundry detergent and can no longer escape after flying into the basin.
Then we add an appropriate amount of water to the container and stir well to make sure that the brown sugar and washing powder are fully dissolved. In this way, our homemade mosquito killer artifact is completed!
Now, let's take a look at how to use this artifact!
When we go to bed at night, we can put the homemade solution at the head of the bed or next to the bed.
When mosquitoes smell brown sugar, they fly into the container as if they were smelling human sweat.
And as soon as they fly into the container, they are immediately destroyed by the laundry detergent. This way, no matter how many mosquitoes you have in your room, they can be easily eliminated by this artifact.
Of course, this artifact can be used in more than just bedrooms.
You can also place it next to the couch, behind curtains, and other places where mosquitoes are frequented.
You can even put a bowl at your door, window, etc., so that it can effectively stop mosquitoes and flies from entering your home.
In addition, this homemade solution is very environmentally friendly and safe.
Compared to mosquito repellent products that contain chemical ingredients, such as mosquito coils and insecticides, our homemade solutions are made entirely from common ingredients and cleaning products in daily life.
It is harmless to the human body, especially suitable for friends who have small babies or are sensitive to chemical components.
Now you can share this simple and practical method with your family and friends! Let them also say goodbye to mosquitoes and flies, and enjoy a refreshing and comfortable summer!
Finally, a word of caution: while this homemade solution is very effective, we should also take care to replace it with a new solution regularly to ensure that it continues to work.
At the same time, keeping the home environment clean and tidy is also an important measure to prevent mosquitoes and flies.
What do you think? Do you think this method is both simple and practical? Give it a try! You're sure you'll love this summer's best tips!
