Procedure
Prepare the Lemons
Cut the large lemon into halves.
Insert cloves into the pulp of each half, covering the entire surface.
Prepare the Candles
Cut each candle so that it will fit securely into the middle of the lemon halves.
Assemble the Repellent
Place the clove-filled lemon halves on a flat, stable surface.
Insert the candle pieces into the center of each lemon half.
Surround each lemon half with four bamboo sticks, placing them evenly around the lemon.
Cover with Small Lemon Halves
Cut the small lemon into halves.
Use these halves as caps to cover the clove-filled lemon halves when the candles are not in use.
Use the Remedy
When you’re ready to repel mosquitoes, uncover the lemons and light the candles.
As the candle heats the lemon pulp and cloves, the combination releases a pleasant fragrance and repels mosquitoes effectively.
Why It Works
These natural lanterns, formed by heating lemon pulp and cloves, create an aroma that perfumes your home and drives mosquitoes away. The combination of citrus and clove acts as a natural insect repellent while enhancing the comfort of your living space.
