Next time you enjoy a juicy orange, don’t toss the peels! Those leftover rinds can be transformed into a useful homemade insecticide and a delightful flavoring for your kitchen. Here’s how to make the most out of your used oranges.
Homemade Insecticide
Orange peels contain natural oils that can repel insects, making them an excellent base for a DIY insecticide. This eco-friendly solution helps keep pests at bay without harmful chemicals.
How to Make It:
- Collect the peels from a few oranges and let them dry out for a day or two.
- Place the dried peels in a blender or food processor and grind them into a fine powder.
- Mix the orange peel powder with a cup of water and a few drops of dish soap.
- Pour the mixture into a spray bottle.
How to Use It: Spray this mixture around windowsills, doorways, and other areas where insects tend to enter. It’s particularly effective against ants and aphids.
