7. Garlic and Apple Cider Vinegar
Eating garlic or mixing apple cider vinegar into your diet can help repel mosquitoes from the inside out, as they’re thought to dislike the scent in your sweat and breath. You can also make sprays with diluted vinegar to apply around your home.
8. Use Coffee Grounds
Sprinkle used coffee grounds in standing water sources like puddles or flower pots. Coffee grounds can kill mosquito larvae, reducing the mosquito population naturally.
9. Wear Protective Clothing
When outdoors in mosquito-prone areas, wear long sleeves, pants, and socks to minimize skin exposure. Light-colored clothing is preferable, as mosquitoes are more attracted to dark colors.
10. Maintain Your Yard
Trim grass, bushes, and shrubs regularly. Mosquitoes love hiding in tall grass and dense foliage, so keeping your yard tidy reduces their hiding spots.

Combining these natural methods can dramatically reduce mosquitoes around your home without relying on harsh chemicals. Whether you plant mosquito-repelling herbs, burn citronella candles, or keep your yard clean, these eco-friendly tactics help you enjoy mosquito-free days and nights.
