I don’t know about you but learning how to get rid of mosquitos was on the top of my list when going camping. Besides bug sprays and mosquitos lamps did you know there is another natural way to get rid of those pesky mosquitos?
Best Camping Hack for Mosquitos:
It’s a known fact that mosquitos hate certain herbs and smells like rosemary, sage , basil, citronella, lavender and peppermint. Burning herbs in your campfire or fire pit at home is a natural and safe way to repel mosquitos. Indigenous people have been doing this for years.
I already grow all of these herbs in my garden and I use them for multiple purposes. I love being able to just run out to my garden before a camping trip and cut fresh herbs to take with us.
You can start by just bundling your herbs and throwing them in the fire pit as is or try wrapping the herbs in aluminum foil, wet it, poke some holes in the foil and it will smoke all evening.
If you want to try this at home and you don’t have a fire pit, try using terracotta pots ,old coffee cans. or soup cans.
