Turning off the lights is usually the most effective way to repel mosquitoes.Without light, the moth will become confused, its wings will easily come off, and it will eventually fall off by itself.
However, enjoying the night in dark conditions is clearly not a comfortable option for many people.
The good news is, there are a number of other ways you can get rid of moths without having to turn off the lights.Here are some of them, summarizing the various sources:
1. Use a container filled with water
Prepare a medium-sized container filled with water, then place it directly under the light.Larons that are attracted to the light will approach and fall into the container, then drown.
2. Use liquid soap
Mix dish soap with water in a spray bottle.Spray areas that are frequently infested with moths at close range.The soapy liquid can damage the moth’s wings and cause them to fall.
3. Spray with vinegar solution
Vinegar can also be a natural mosquito repellent.Mix a few drops of vinegar with lemon juice and water, then put it in a spray bottle.Use regularly around areas where moths gather.
4. Use chili
The strong smell of chilies is not liked by moths.Slice the chilies in several pieces to release their aroma, then hang them near a lamp.The sharp smell is effective in making mosquitoes stay away.
5. Make use of garlic
Crush a few cloves of garlic until the juice comes out, then mix it with water and put it in a spray bottle.Spray this solution at the moths from a close distance to repel them.
6. Spray orange peel oil
Orange peel oil contains the compound d-limonene which is effective in killing termites and moths.The aroma of this oil is not liked by moths and can be sprayed in areas that are often infested with these insects.
7. Plant vetiver grass
Planting vetiver grass around the house can also be a long-term solution.This plant contains the compound nootkatone which is effective in warding off various pests and insects, including moths.Plant vetiver in your yard, especially near lighted areas that often attract moths.
With these simple steps, the house can still be bright and comfortable even though the rainy season comes with hordes of moths.
