Mosquitoes – those pesky, bloodsucking insects that come out in droves during the summer months. They’re not only annoying but can also transmit diseases like Zika, dengue fever, and West Nile virus. While there are many products on the market that claim to keep at bay, many of them contain harmful chemicals that can be dangerous for both us and the environment. Fortunately, there is a natural remedy that can help keep mosquitoes away – and it’s something that’s probably already in your kitchen.

Lemon and clove have been used for centuries as natural remedies to repel mosquitoes. The sharp, citrusy smell of lemons and spicy scent of clove oil work together to mask the scent of humans, which is what mosquitoes in the first place. Not only that, but both lemon and clove are safe, all-natural ingredients that won’t harm the environment.

To create this natural mosquito repellent, all you need is a few lemons and some clove oil. Begin by cutting the lemons in half and squeezing the juice out into a bowl. Place the lemon halves on a decorative plate or platter and then sprinkle a few drops of clove oil onto each half. You can also add whole cloves to the plate for extra mosquito-repelling power. Once the lemons are prepared, simply place them on your outdoor table or patio and enjoy your mosquito-free dining experience.

Not only does this natural remedy work well to repel mosquitoes, but it also adds a decorative touch to your table. The bright, sunny color of the lemons and the aromatic scent of the cloves will make for a beautiful and inviting table setting. Plus, you won’t have to worry about any harmful chemicals lingering in the air or on your skin.

If you don’t have any clove oil on hand, you can also use other natural essential oils that are known to repel mosquitoes. Citronella, eucalyptus, and peppermint are all great choices that can be added to the lemon halves for an extra boost. You can even mix and match oils to create your own unique scent combination.

While this natural remedy is safe and effective, it’s important to remember that it won’t completely eliminate all mosquitoes in the area. Mosquitoes are attracted to humans and their scent, so you’ll still want to take other preventative measures, such as wearing long sleeves and pants, using mosquito nets, and applying a natural insect repellent to your skin.

In addition, it’s important to keep your outdoor space clean and free of standing water, which is where mosquitoes breed. Remove any empty planters, buckets, or other containers that might collect water and be sure to change the water in any birdbaths or fountains at least once a week.

In conclusion, mosquitoes are an inevitable part of summer, but that doesn’t mean you have to suffer their constant buzz and bites. By using a natural remedy like lemon and clove, you can enjoy your time outdoors without being bothered by these pesky insects. Plus, the beautiful and aromatic table setting will be the envy of all your guests!
