because it works
Why burn coffee and cloves ? Both ingredients have properties that make them effective against insects . Coffee, for example , contains caffeine , a compound that acts as a neurotoxin on insects . This means that when exposed to caffeine , insects suffer damage to their nervous system , leading to death . In addition, coffee has a strong smell that can be used to repel insects.
Clove, on the other hand, contains an essential oil called eugenol , which acts as a natural insecticide . Eugenol is toxic to insects , but it is safe for humans and pets . In addition, cloves also give off a particular smell that is effective in repelling insects. The combination of these two ingredients , therefore, allows us to create a powerful natural insecticide .
This is how you eliminate mosquitoes and other insects.
The natural insecticide that will allow you to win the battle against insects once and for all is very easy to prepare. We will need: coffee powder , cloves , a cup , a candle and a lighter .
To start, just pour some coffee powder into a cup , so that it is almost completely filled . After that, we take the candle and begin to divide it into pieces until we reach the wick , which is what we are interested in obtaining . To make the work easier , it is better to use a thin , cylindrical candle . Alternatively, we can use a match .
Once we have the wick , using the handle of a spoon or a fork , we make a dimple in the centre of the coffee. We introduce the wick into the ditch and cover the lower end with the coffee powder , so that only a part remains outside . At this point, we add the cloves and bury them in the coffee powder .
All we have to do is light the wick with the help of a lighter . We will see that the wick goes out in a few seconds, then the flame will reach the coffee which, together with the cloves , will begin to spread its aroma , scaring away insects .
