Summer is here. It is one of the most eagerly awaited times of the year for many people because of the arrival of the heat, the opening of the swimming pools, the good weather and those holidays that we look forward to all year long.
However, it also has its downsides, such as the stifling heat and the appearance of those “evil” creatures that seem to come out in swarms at this time of year, leaving itching, swelling and sometimes pain wherever they go, whether inside or outside our homes: mosquitoes.
These are animals that we end up fighting to catch before they bite us. Unfortunately, this does not always work, or not all tricks are equally effective.
For her part, the content creator who runs the “homehacks91” account on TikTok wanted to share a new “tip”, or as she puts it, “the best trick to avoid mosquitoes”.
Here’s how to make this “homemade” trick
The trick involves taking a lemon and cutting off the “nose”, then making incisions from side to side in the shape of segments. Then, with the lemon cut up on a plate, sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of washing-up liquid and a little cinnamon over the top and inside. Finally, place it on the floor.
This is a tip that the TikToker shared after it was recommended to her in a restaurant: ‘I learned it from a restaurant owner,’ revealing that it has proven to be very effective.
