I placed a bottle cap on the window frame and the mosquitoes disappeared.

Summer pests, mosquitoes, try this method instead of commercial mosquito repellents. Without worrying about chemical ingredients, all you need is a plastic bottle and toothpaste at home.

Anyone can make mosquito repellent.

 

Making mosquito repellent with sugar and dish soap

 

After cutting the bottom part of the PET bottle with a knife, fill it with about two-thirds water.

Pump the dish soap twice and add it.

Next, add 1 teaspoon of sugar. The ratio of dish soap to sugar is approximately 1:1. Mosquitoes are attracted to sweet smells, which is the principle behind using sugar as bait.

Additionally, the surfactants in dish soap block the mosquito's respiratory system, causing it to suffocate.

Stir the dish soap and sugar well so they mix easily in the water. The mosquito repellent made with dish soap and sugar should be replaced every 3 to 4 days.

 

Making a mosquito repellent with toothpaste

This time, we will make a natural mosquito repellent using toothpaste. Prepare by cutting a plastic bottle in half horizontally.

Squeeze toothpaste in a straight line onto the cut PET bottle.

Prepare 3 to 4 bottle caps and squeeze toothpaste inside. The chemical components in the toothpaste help produce carbon dioxide, which mosquitoes are attracted to because they like carbon dioxide, so you can lure them with toothpaste.
