Why Vinegar and Cinnamon Work:
1. Vinegar:
- Repellent Properties: Vinegar has a strong odor that mosquitoes find unpleasant, effectively repelling them from treated areas.
- Antimicrobial Action: Vinegar’s acidic nature helps kill mosquito larvae in standing water, preventing them from maturing into adult mosquitoes.
2. Cinnamon:
- Insecticidal Properties: Cinnamon contains compounds like cinnamaldehyde that are toxic to mosquitoes, helping to eliminate them on contact.
- Pleasant Aroma: Unlike chemical insecticides, cinnamon leaves a pleasant and natural scent, making your home smell fresh while keeping mosquitoes at bay.
