BURNING COFFEE GROUNDS AT HOME, WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO: THE UNEXPECTED RESULT (Page 2 ) | April 5, 2025

After brewing the coffee, store the moist powder in a can or glass container. Then light it. The resulting smoke will not only repel insects, especially pesky mosquitoes, but it can also help eliminate mosquito larvae. For an even more pleasant and effective aroma, add cloves or cinnamon sticks to the coffee grounds before burning them.

3. Application Method and Alternatives

To make burning coffee grounds easier, place a lit candle in the center of the coffee grounds. This home remedy can be placed anywhere in the kitchen to repel insects and add a fresh, welcoming scent to your home. Alternatively, if you prefer not to use a moka pot or store the grounds, you can choose to burn the coffee grounds or dilute the coffee in water and spray it on areas prone to standing water.
