Mosquitoes and flies are attracted to the sweet smell and drown, so to speak, as soon as they find themselves in the solution. Rinse and repeat as needed.

In
addition to making traps, you can also spray the affected area with a strong lemon scent. This will prevent the insects from spreading. Mix 2 cups of warm water and 10 to 15 drops of citronella oil in a clean plant sprayer and spray it on kitchen surfaces or wherever the problem is occurring.

Similarly, mix 4 cups of water and 2 tablespoons

Spray lemon-scented liquid soap on your plants where mosquitoes bother you.

Keep in mind that it takes about a week for all fruit flies and mosquitoes to disappear, as these insects have a short life cycle. So be patient!
