Mosquitos are the worst. Honestly, even a number of scientists are contemplating whether we should just eradicate them entirely. Until that time arrives, though, those irritating blood suckers have a knack for entering your home, regardless of your precautions. And nothing, I mean absolutely nothing, is more frustrating than hearing the incessant buzzing of a mosquito near your ear at 3am.
Luckily, there are several methods to eliminate indoor mosquitos primarily using water. You can view the video above or continue reading for the key points.
Use Your Hands
Well, obviously is what you might be thinking. But have you ever noticed how mosquitos always seem to be just beyond your reach when you attempt to swat them away? There are some hypotheses as to why this occurs – ranging from a cushion of air to the mosquito merely bouncing off your hand – but in any case, having moist hands rectifies the problem. Keep a bottle of water handy or if there’s a sink nearby, wet your hands and catch mosquitos from the air (i.e. squish them).
Manage Pools Of Water
Drains, that peculiar little bit of water beneath the toilet brush, any stagnant water you can remove is for the best. And for drains where it may not be feasible, if possible, close their doors. Bathrooms, kitchens, or any place there could be standing water, aim to establish a barrier between you and that location.
You can also utilize smelly socks as mosquito traps or take advantage of that leftover vodka from the previous night.
