As the rainy season arrives and washes away the summer heat, it also brings along an unwelcome visitor—mosquitoes. While the cool breeze and refreshing rains provide relief, the surge in mosquito activity can quickly turn your peaceful home into a breeding ground for diseases. Mosquitoes are known carriers of serious illnesses like dengue, malaria, and chikungunya, especially during monsoon when stagnant water becomes a perfect breeding spot. Many households depend on chemical repellents such as coils, sprays, and vaporizers to keep mosquitoes away. However, these products are not only sometimes ineffective but may also cause allergic reactions, breathing problems, or other side effects—particularly in children and older adults. So, what if you could fight mosquitoes naturally, affordably, and without any harmful effects? Here are some tried-and-tested natural remedies you can use at home. Each of these costs less than ₹10 per use, making them both effective and budget-friendly.
