There is probably no person in the world who would not like to spend time on the balcony or terrace in the spring and summer. In the evening it is nice to sit down with a book and relax in the bosom of nature. Unfortunately, mosquitoes can disturb our relaxation. We don’t want to come home covered in bites, so we quickly hide inside. Contrary to appearances, it does not have to be this way. Deter at home.
Home remedies for mosquitoes in the garden. All you need is a cup and three ingredients
Just the thought of the characteristic buzzing next to the ear gives us chills. Mosquito repellents, such as sprays and spirals, do not always work and protect us against worms. Additionally, they have a specific smell, so we have to throw them into the washing machine immediately after returning home. A patent used by the Italians comes to the rescue. It is cheap, simple and, above all, effective.
You will need a plastic cup and three ingredients: wine vinegar, onion and lemon. Pour the vinegar into half a cup, add the zest of one lemon and a thick slice of onion. Place the mixture in the place where you plan to relax, e.g. on a table on the balcony or at the exit to the terrace. For better results, you can prepare several cups of the mixture.

What are mosquitoes afraid of? Plant these plants on your balcony
If you want to protect yourself from mosquitoes, plant plants on the balcony and terrace that the insects do not like the smell of. These are lavender, rosemary, basil, mint, thyme, lemon balm, mosquito net, fennel and catnip. Don’t forget to install mosquito nets in your home and turn off the lights before opening the window. Light and an open window act as an invitation to bugs. You can also slice the onion and chop the garlic into small pieces, place them on a small plate and place them on the windowsill. Mosquitoes hate this smell, so they will stay away from the apartment. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
