Collect Used Coffee Grounds: After brewing your coffee, let the used coffee grounds dry out. This is important because moist coffee grounds can be difficult to burn effectively.
Prepare the Container: Place the dry coffee grounds in a small, heat-safe container. A metal bowl or tin can works best for containing the fire and making sure it doesn’t spread.
Light the Coffee Grounds: Using a match or lighter, ignite the edges of the coffee grounds in the container. It may take a minute for the coffee grounds to catch fire, so be patient. Once the edges start to burn, they will produce smoke.
Let the Grounds Burn: As the coffee grounds smolder and burn, they will release smoke that acts as a natural mosquito repellent. You can let the grounds burn for a few minutes to create a steady amount of smoke.
Place the Container in Your Outdoor Area: Place the container in an area where you are trying to keep mosquitoes away, such as on your porch, patio, or backyard. Ensure it’s placed on a flat surface, away from flammable materials.
Monitor the Burning: Keep an eye on the burning grounds to make sure the fire doesn’t spread. Once the grounds have burned down or stopped producing smoke, you can extinguish them by sprinkling a little water over the remnants.
