Summer evenings in the garden should be relaxing, but mosquitoes often ruin the fun. Recently, while enjoying the sound of rain on our terrace, we had to retreat indoors as dusk brought swarms of mosquitoes.
A trusted friend, who's relied on this homemade spray for 15 years, shared her secret. As someone who's tested countless natural remedies, I can confirm it's simple to make and highly effective at repelling mosquitoes. Here's how:
To prepare this unique repellent, start by emptying cheap beer bottles and letting them air out for 1-2 days. The rest takes just 5 minutes. We sprayed it around our terrace, and the results were impressive—no mosquitoes all evening.
Here's the recipe for this natural mosquito-repelling spray:
- A cheap blue mouthwash bottle
- 400g Epsom salt
- 3 bottles of 33 cl cheap beer
1. Place the Epsom salt in a large container.
2. Pour in the mouthwash.
3. Add the stale beer.
4. Stir until the salt fully dissolves.
5. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle.
Your 100% natural mosquito repellent is ready! Quick, easy, and chemical-free. Where we typically see dozens of mosquitoes, spraying this reduced them to just one over several hours. It's reliable for outdoor evenings without bites.
Spray around relaxation areas, patios, or pools. It's safe for plants and flowers. Mosquitoes stay away for at least 2-3 hours. Reapply each evening for worry-free summer nights. Friends rave about it, even against tiger mosquitoes. The faint beer scent fades quickly, leaving a fresh mint aroma.
For extra protection, pair with a body-safe repellent free of neurotoxic chemicals—this is our go-to at home.
