Some mosquito repellent sprays can be effective, but they come at a certain cost. Moreover, their safety for users might not be high, especially for families with young children, so it's better to limit their use. Instead, you can use mentholated oil to repel mosquitoes. Mentholated oil is inexpensive and safe for everyone in the household.

Mentholated oil contains essential oils such as peppermint, eucalyptus, basil, cinnamon, and tea tree, which are effective in repelling mosquitoes. To apply this method, you can try the following:

Method 1

For this method, open the cap of the mentholated oil bottle and place it in a corner of the room or house. These are dark places where mosquitoes tend to gather. When they smell the mentholated oil, mosquitoes will be frightened and fly away, avoiding the corner of the room.

Method 2

In this method, drop a few drops of mentholated oil onto the blades of an electric fan and turn it on. The fan will blow the scent of the oil around the house, spreading it throughout the room. Mosquitoes that detect the smell of mentholated oil will have no choice but to fly far away.

Method 3

For the third method, drop a few drops of mentholated oil onto the curtains. With just a few drops of mentholated oil on the curtains, you can effectively and safely repel mosquitoes. Not only does this help drive mosquitoes away, but it also improves the air quality, making the room feel fresher.

Method 4

The fourth method is to add a few drops of mentholated oil to the child's bathwater. Often, when bathing a child, many people use warm water and a basin. To prevent mosquito bites, you can add a few drops of mentholated oil to the bathwater. This way, you won't have to worry about mosquitoes biting your child. Additionally, the mentholated oil will leave a pleasant fragrance on the child's skin and body.

Method 5

To apply this method, drop a few drops of mentholated oil onto a mosquito coil. If you use mosquito coils in your home, you can use this method. By adding a few drops of mentholated oil to the coil, it will help the room stay fresh, reduce the smell of the coil, and increase the effectiveness of repelling mosquitoes.

Method 6

The final method is to drop mentholated oil into any area where you think mosquitoes might be hiding. With this method, you only need to repeat it a few times, and mosquitoes will no longer dare to come back.

In addition to mentholated oil, you can also use other natural ingredients available in your home to repel mosquitoes, such as:

• Burning dried tea leaves or dried mugwort leaves and letting the smoke spread throughout the house or room. The smoke from the burning leaves will drive mosquitoes away.

• Burning dried orange or tangerine peels in the room. This method will not only help make the air in the room fresher and more pleasant but also drive mosquitoes away.
