Cleaning fan shares easy DIY mosquito repellent – and you probably already have everything you need
IT’S that time of year again where we often find our homes full of pests we’d rather not see.
While flies and spiders are not a pretty sight most of us can handle a few of them here or there.
It’s mosquitoes who really over-step, leaving us with annoying itchy bites overnight.
One cleaning fan has shared the one product she uses so mosquitoes can’t stand to be anywhere near her home.
Cleaning fan and mum of two Damyra shared her hack in a TikTok video online.
She said: “DIY mosquito repellent that you can do at your home.”
The mum of two added: “It’s super cheap and will leave you with no mosquitoes for the rest of the summer.”
The cleaning fan’s secret ingredient is Irish Spring soap.
The soap has a strong scent the most bugs just can’t stand including pesky mos.
Damyra uses a grater to shred her Irish Spring Soap then sprinkle it across her garden.
“All you need to do is grate some Irish spring soap just like I did and place it on the ground outside.
The mum of two claims: “This will leave you with no mosquitoes.”
