Finding natural ways to deter flies and mosquitoes can make your home more comfortable and peaceful, especially during the warmer months. Coffee grounds and bay leaves are two incredibly effective and natural ingredients that can help keep these pesky insects at bay. Here’s how you can use these everyday items to maintain a bug-free home.
Why Coffee Grounds and Bay Leaves?
Coffee grounds and bay leaves might seem like humble kitchen leftovers, but they possess strong scents that are unappealing to flies and mosquitoes. Coffee grounds contain compounds that repel many insects, including mosquitoes, by blocking the olfactory sensors they use to find hosts. Bay leaves, on the other hand, emit a fragrance that is pleasant to humans but detestable to flies.
