Prepare the Lemon: Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from the lemon into a small bowl or container. Be sure to remove any seeds.
Combine with Water: In a separate container, mix the freshly squeezed lemon juice with 1 cup of water.
Pour into the Spray Bottle: Using a funnel if needed, pour the lemon and water mixture into your spray bottle.
Spray Away: Shake the bottle gently to mix, and spray the solution around areas where flies and mosquitoes are a problem, such as window sills, doorways, and any outdoor seating areas.
Why It Works:
Lemons contain natural oils with insect-repellent properties that can deter flies, mosquitoes, and other pests. The fresh citrus scent is not only pleasant but also acts as a natural deterrent for insects, without any harsh chemicals.
Additional Tips:
For extra potency, you can add a few drops of essential oils like eucalyptus, citronella, or lavender, all of which are also known for repelling insects.
Reapply the spray every few hours or after it rains for continued protection.
Now, with this simple, natural solution, you can keep your surroundings fly- and mosquito-free without relying on toxic chemicals! Enjoy the outdoors without the irritation of biting insects.
