Simple Coffee Hack Keeps Bugs Away

Ants, mosquitoes, and other flying insects are a common nuisance, especially during outdoor activities. A Kentucky resident, Ceith Griffith, shared a simple yet effective method to repel these pests using commonly available items. In a recent video, Griffith demonstrated how to mix instant coffee with scent beads, creating a potent insect repellent. "It doesn't matter what brand you use of instant coffee, as long as it's not decaf, you can use it," Griffith explained in the video. After mixing the two ingredients, the mixture is placed near anthills or other areas where insects tend to gather. The strong coffee aroma acts as a deterrent, keeping insects away from a 20-foot radius. This method is particularly useful for camping, RV trips, or backyard cookouts. While the hack's simplicity might make it seem too basic, the effectiveness shown in the video makes it a valuable tip for those looking for an easy and natural pest control solution.
