What is the most effective way to kill mosquitoes?

Whenever summer comes, annoying mosquitoes will buzz around you non-stop. If you are not careful, you will be bitten by a mosquito. After the mosquito bite, large red and swollen lumps will appear on your skin, which are extremely itchy and affect your sleep. If you scratch them with your hands, it will easily get infected. In severe cases, it will cause bleeding and scars. Being bitten by mosquitoes brings certain pain to people. So, what method should we use to kill mosquitoes when mosquitoes fly around unscrupulously in the summer? Here are some tips on how to kill mosquitoes.

1. Seal all food

As we all know, mosquitoes like food, whether raw or cooked, so we put all the fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator, put the bread in a bag and seal it, and put the biscuits in a sealed biscuit box, thus cutting off the source of attracting them.

2. Put the food to be thawed into the microwave

Many people have a habit of putting food that needs to be thawed directly on the kitchen counter, which is very likely to attract mosquitoes and breed more germs. Therefore, when you need to defrost food, using a microwave can avoid attracting mosquitoes, and it defrosts faster and saves time.

3. Be diligent in cleaning and avoid laziness

After eating, do not throw the dishes directly into the sink, because unwashed milk cups or plates with noodle sauce will attract more mosquitoes, so be sure to clean them in time. Of course, don't forget to clean up the food scraps spilled on the table and stove, because mosquitoes will attach themselves to food no matter where it is.

4. Potted plants are pleasing to the eye, but mosquitoes are annoying

Most of us mistakenly believe that putting rice water, bean dregs and kitchen waste into a basin can form nutrients, but we ignore the fact that these things are the most likely to breed mosquitoes. What should I do? Then give your beloved potted plants a "new look" by removing the top two feet of soil and replacing it with new soil from other gardens!

5. Clean the gutters

The dark and humid kitchen sink is also one of the places that mosquitoes like very much. Especially the drain outlet that has been used for a long time will accumulate a lot of dirt, which is very disgusting. This is simply a paradise for mosquitoes. So is there any way to quickly and effectively remove this disgusting dirt and prevent mosquitoes? Add a slice of lemon and a few drops of vegetable oil.

6. Keep screen windows and doors closed, and do not leave them open to allow mosquitoes to enter.

Mosquitoes can get in through very small gaps, so even if you have screen windows and doors, make sure they are sealed. If that doesn't work, you can go to the hardware store and buy some small things to repair the gap. If necessary, you can also seal it with tape.

7. Use covered trash cans

Place plastic bags in a covered trash can with the lid closed tightly. Remember not to leave a lot of garbage open in the kitchen, otherwise mosquitoes will not be polite to you.

8. Vinegar + soapy water

Put 4 spoons of apple cider vinegar into an empty jam jar (a shallow bowl is also fine), then add a few drops of liquid soap and stir. Remove the lid or cover it, but make sure mosquitoes can enter. Then place the jar or bowl on the kitchen countertop. Mosquitoes will be attracted by the smell of apple cider vinegar, and once they enter, they cannot escape because the soap will stick to them tightly.

9. Sticky mosquito killing method

Spread honey on yellow cards and use tape to stick them on doors, windows or other places where mosquitoes are likely to appear. Once mosquitoes fly over, they will never be able to escape.
