Mosquitos are the villain of summer. Countless summer nights are dominated by their high-pitched squeal and the fear of waking up tomorrow with yet another bite. We reluctantly dowse ourselves in toxic mosquito repellent that leaves skin feeling sticky and covered in an eye-watering smell that refuses to dissipate. Despite its potency to humans, it seems unreliable when it comes to repelling mosquitos.
Recently an alternative, natural repellent has gone viral for its encouraging results and non-toxic by-products. Burning coffee is the newest hack for repelling mosquitos, and it appears to have encouraging results. At this point, we will try anything if it means reducing the number of bites we suffer in our backyards.
