Use Vinegar to Ecologically get rid of Mosquitoes and Blackflies at once
I have a little blog named Smart Ecology (https://smartrewilding.blogspot.com/) to write about ecologically smart ideas, as I once had a Ph.D. degree regarding humans’ journey through nature starting from Kenya’s Lake Turkana in Africa. I then continued studying ecology, plastics, etc.
I am not in a hurry to fill the blog with material as really smart natural solutions that work for everyone are really rare and people may find some of them useless. Whenever I learn and become confident in their reliability, I want to keep writing about them.
In that blog, I wrote an article titled “An Ultimate, Miraculous, Simple, and Ecological Way of getting rid of Mosquitoes and Blackflies at once.” It was about a method of preparing a solution with vinegar (grape or apple), vegetable oil, and shampoo and rubbing it on our body parts that are exposed to assaults by mosquitoes and blackflies.
I notice now that over two years and three summers, I have not bought chemical repellents or other things to get rid of mosquitoes and blackflies at once. However, I also do not prepare the solution now. I only rub my necessary body parts with some vinegar.
I believe that the deviser of the solution made use of another wonderful benefit of vinegar and prepared it by adding olive oil and shampoo. I remember my relatives were making sun creams by mixing olive oil and shampoo to sunbathe ecologically when I was a child. Probably the reason for the mixture in the method is for people who might feel uncomfortable with the odor of vinegar or unwilling to emit its smell to others. So, you can try either the method in my article or use your vinegar only. I never feel anything bad during the evening and night, nor do I feel that others get its odor.
Another benefit of this method according to my experience is that it lasts about 12 hours. The repellants I used beforehand lasted only eight hours and one use per evening and night was not enough, making one get up in the middle of the night and use the repellant again, especially when in nature.
Enjoy nature’s secrets and beauties
