We are not going to suggest using coils, citronella, scented candles or simple insecticide sprays: this remedy, perfect for the days and nights when our home is "under attack" by mosquitoes, will certainly make our lives easier (and without us spending a fortune).

So, what is this remedy?

It's very simple: the trick is to use burnt coffee. Yes, that's right: this is one of the methods that really seems capable of repelling many pesky insects with the smell it gives off.

This remedy is cheap and easy to implement. To do it, you just need to fill a jar with coffee grounds and let them burn slowly, leaving the jar smoldering in a strategic area.

Placing the jar on a windowsill, the corner of a room or in the garden are perfect places. The aroma of coffee - which is very pleasant for humans - will repel mosquitoes. And it can keep other pests, like wasps, away as well.

This is one of the most effective insect repellant methods around and is recommended by experts. Have you ever tried it? If yes, does it work for you? And what other methods do you use to keep mosquitoes at bay?
