Materials
First you’ll need to collect a few things from around the house for this Mosquito Repellent DIY:
Making a Mosquito Repeller
To start, drill a couple of holes near the top of your tin. These holes will be used to attach the wire to hang or handle your mosquito repeller.
*Hint, smaller drill bits drill through metal easier, but be careful it will move around a bit. In a pinch, you can also use a hammer and nail. Put a piece of wood in the container to hammer into, so you don’t crush the tin.
Next up, we’re going to drill a bunch of holes in the tin to help the airflow, and help spread the smoke around better.
I also drilled a hole in the middle of the lid. This part is totally optional, but I figured I’d give it a try anyway.
Lighting your Mosquito Repellent is pretty easy. Rip off a chunk of your cardboard drink holder, and light the end on fire. Blow out the flames when it starts burning. Then toss it in the tin can. The glowing embers will slowly burn all the cardboard, and the smoke will keep the bugs away.
Boom, you’re pretty much done with this Mosquito Repellent DIY project. You can see I pulled the wire through the hole in the top of my tin to act as a damper. I can flip it up to let more air in and make more smoke, but it will burn faster.
The wire handle lets you pick it up without burning your hand, and can also be used to hang it up
