There has been a growing trend in recent years to look for natural solutions to common problems, such as insects in the home. An interesting and little known solution is the combination of coffee and cloves to obtain a natural insecticide. Let’s see how it works. This way you will get rid of mosquitoes and other insects.
Why it works
Why combine coffee and cloves? Both ingredients have properties that make them effective against insects. Coffee, for example, contains caffeine, a compound that acts as a neurotoxin on insects. This means that insects, when exposed to caffeine, suffer damage to the nervous system leading to their death. In addition, coffee has a strong odor that can be used to repel insects.
Cloves contain an essential oil called eugenol, which acts as a natural insecticide. Eugenol is toxic to insects but harmless to humans and domestic animals. In addition, cloves give off a distinctive scent that repels insects. The combination of these two ingredients creates a powerful natural insecticide.
How to get rid of mosquitoes and other insects
The natural insecticide with which you can finally win the battle against insects is very simple to prepare. We need: coffee powder, bundles, a cup, a candle and a lighter.
<First we pour some coffee powder into a cup so that it is almost full. Then we take the candle and start to divide it into pieces until we reach the velvet that we want to get. To facilitate the work, it is better to use a thin cylindrical candle. Alternatively, we can use a match.
