Flies and mosquitoes can be more than just a nuisance—they can carry diseases and make your home less enjoyable. Fortunately, there’s a simple and natural solution that many people overlook: ground coffee. Using this readily available household item, you can effectively repel these pests without resorting to chemical sprays. Here’s how the method works and why it’s worth trying.
