Why Place Lemon Peels on the Windowsill?
Placing lemon peels on your windowsill is a natural and effective trick to address a common household problem: keeping pests and insects away while leaving your home smelling fresh. Here’s why it works and how to do it effectively.
How Lemon Peels Help:
- Repels Insects:
- The strong citrus scent of lemon peels contains compounds like limonene, which are natural deterrents for pests like mosquitoes, flies, ants, and even spiders.
- Insects dislike the smell of citrus and will avoid areas where lemon peels are placed.
- Neutralizes Odors:
- Lemon peels emit a pleasant, refreshing aroma that can eliminate unpleasant smells around the windowsill or in the room.
- Adds a Decorative Touch:
- Placing lemon peels in a small bowl or arranging them creatively on the windowsill can enhance the aesthetic of your space.
