Warm nights can quickly become annoying when mosquitoes buzz around your home. Even one mosquito feels like too many, especially with kids nearby. For families, keeping mosquitoes out is about more than just comfort. These bugs can spread serious diseases like West Nile virus, Zika, and dengue. The CDC recommends prevention as the best way to stay safe, and that usually starts at home. Many store-bought sprays smell strong or come with long warnings, making you hesitate. The good news? You can make a DIY mosquito killer that really works using simple, safe ingredients from your kitchen or garden. It’s easy, effective, and won’t fill your house with harsh chemicals.
