Where Does The Apple Cider Vinegar Mosquito Repellent Come From?
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a natural, nontoxic product that is derived from fermented apples. It has been used for centuries as a home remedy for many ailments and also to repel bugs. ACV can be used as a natural bug repellent because of the acetic acid content.
In this article, we will look at how apple cider vinegar mosquito repellent works and why it is an effective way to keep mosquitoes away.
What Is The Best Apple Cider Vinegar For Mosquito Repellent?
The best brand is Braggs. It has the highest amount of potassium per serving and it also contains more of the “mother” than other brands, which is a good thing. The “mother” contains probiotics and enzymes that are great for your skin and overall health.
If you can’t find Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar is another good choice. The only drawback to this brand is that it doesn’t contain as much potassium as Braggs does (but still plenty!).
How Do You Make DIY Apple Cider Vinegar Mosquito Repellent?
- In a 1-quart spray bottle, combine 1 cup water and 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar.
- Add 5 to 10 drops of essential oils (optional). For example, lavender oil is known for its calming effects, while lemongrass is great for repelling mosquitoes due to its strong scent and citronella oil is effective at keeping bugs away thanks to its potent smell.
- Shake well before using. Spray on your clothing or skin as needed; avoid spraying in eyes or mouth since it can burn if ingested or inhaled directly into nose/mouth (for children under 6 years old).
Why Does Apple Cider Work As A Natural Bug Killer?
As you already know, apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a common household item that can be used as a natural insecticide. What you may not know is why this vinegar works so well as an insect repellent.
For starters, apple cider vinegar has an acidic pH of 3-4. This makes it more acidic than many types of wine and even some sodas! Mosquitoes hate the smell of vinegar because in their natural environment they’ve never encountered such an acerbic substance before—and it smells bad to them! So if you’re going for an all-natural bug spray that’s easy on your skin and smells great…what are you waiting for?
How Does Apple Cider Vinegar Kill Bugs On Plants?
- To make an apple cider vinegar spray, you will need:
- A small spray bottle with a fine mist nozzle
- Apple cider vinegar (any brand will do)
- Pour 1 cup of apple cider vinegar into the bottle and fill it with water until it’s full. Shake well before each use.
- Use the spray on plants that are exposed to direct sunlight for 10 minutes at least once per day to keep bugs away! If possible, try not to let your plants touch each other; this helps prevent new pests from spreading throughout your garden area easily when they land on one plant and move onto another one nearby while looking for food sources there as well! If using an organic method like this one is not feasible due to budget constraints or logistics issues (such as location), feel free to try out some synthetic chemical pesticides instead—they tend not be harmful unless ingested directly by humans over long periods of time which is unlikely given how diluted these products become once diluted into solution form; however note that some studies have shown links between certain types of chemical pesticides being linked up with increased risks of developing cancer later down life’s road so it might be best if someone else does this part rather than yourself just in case!
You can make a simple, effective DIY solution to get rid of mosquitoes.
- 1 cup of apple cider vinegar (ACV)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 cups water
- Fill a jar about halfway with the ACV, then add the brown sugar. Add in 4 cups of water, then stir until combined and pour into a spray bottle. This spray should smell like apples—that’s what you’re going for!
- To use it as a mosquito repellent: Shake up your ACV solution well before spraying it on yourself or your backyard to keep mosquitoes away from you. Spray once every hour or so during peak times for best results!
