There is a home, inexpensive and completely natural remedy that not only sets the mood in every corner of your home, but also acts as a powerful repellent. Created by wellness lovers and experts in homemade solutions, this technique takes advantage of simple ingredients that you probably already have at home. In addition to being effective, it is decorative and easy to prepare. We tell you how to do it step by step.


Ingredients needed

This trick combines antibacterial, aromatic and repellent properties in an aesthetic and functional presentation. You only need:

  • 1 large lemon
  • 1 small lemon
  • Cloves (fresh, not ground)
  • Bamboo sticks (skewer type)
  • 2 small white candles

Advice: Use fresh, firm lemons so they can hold the elements without falling apart.


Why does it work?

The combination of lemon with cloves generates a natural repellent action. Lemon, when heated, releases an intense citrus aroma, while cloves give off an essential oil that scares away insects, especially mosquitoes.

In addition, this mixture acts as a natural air purifier, bringing freshness to the environment and eliminating unpleasant odors.


Step-by-step procedure

1. Prepare the lemon base:

  • Cut the large lemon in half lengthwise.
  • Rest both halves with the cut facing up so that they are firm on a flat surface.
  • Insert several cloves into the flesh, covering each half well.

2. Assemble the structure:

  • Carefully cut off a piece of each candle so that they are small and place them in the center of each half of the lemon.
  • Insert 4 bamboo sticks around each candle, gently digging them into the lemon peel.

3. Add the lid:

  • Cut the small lemon into two halves.
  • Use one of these halves to place on top of each candle, as if it were a decorative lid.

4. Light the candle:

  • Light the candle and let the heat begin to release the oils from the lemon and cloves.
  • In a few minutes, you will notice how the aroma disperses through the environment.

Additional Benefits

  • Natural air freshener: Perfumes the whole house without chemicals.
  • Eco-friendly repellent: Repel mosquitoes and other insects without harming the environment or your health.
  • Original decoration: Its rustic and natural appearance makes it an ideal decorative element for the living room, dining room or a gallery.

Recommendation: Place these natural lamps in areas where mosquitoes tend to enter, such as near windows or doors. For greater effectiveness, repeat the process every week, especially in warm weather.


With simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can transform a corner of your home into a mosquito-free space with a delicious aroma. This technique is not only functional and ecological, but also beautifies your home naturally. Try it and enjoy a healthier, fresher, insect-free environment.
