With the onset of the rainy season, mosquitoes have become a nuisance. There are many types of mosquito repellents available in the market. However, it is said that it is not good to buy such products in homes with small children.

If you pay attention to some things, mosquitoes will not come around the house. There is a trick that helps you to get rid of mosquitoes in this way. First, take a plastic bottle and poke holes in it. Now, take some gliricidia leaves. There should be no moisture in the leaves. If you put the leaves on a newspaper for some time, all the moisture will be gone. Then, cut it into small pieces and put it in the bottle with holes.

Fill the bottle with gliricidia leaves in the bottle up to three-quarters of the way, then close it and place it near the window or in the room.
Mosquitoes do not like the smell of these, so they will disappear from the house.

At the same time, if you do not keep the house clean, no matter how hard you try, mosquitoes will not leave the house. Remember that placing gliricidia leaves will only provide temporary relief. Therefore, if you want a permanent solution, you should clean all the places where water is stagnant. There should be no room for mosquitoes to breed behind the AC or fridge.
