Mosquitoes can be a huge menace to humanity and cause various vector-borne diseases and the use of insecticides to get rid of them sometimes isn’t a good idea for some of us with allergies to such product.

I remember sleeping at home one night (all by myself) and trust me, I couldn’t wait for the morning to come knocking my eyes open. I was literally battered with stings from their bite as there was no one to share in this punishment with me.

By the way, guess what I did. I sprayed the house with an insecticide and buried my head in my cover cloth to avoid breathing in the smell of the insecticide. In my poor little head, I was simply trying to get rid of the mosquitoes. Trust me, the effect of that night took its toll on me for the next couple of days.

Hence, getting rid of mosquitoes the natural way hasn’t been a bad idea to me. Here are 3 ways you can do this.
