Introduction
Mosquitoes are more than just annoying—they can ruin summer evenings, disturb your sleep, and even carry diseases. While many people rely on chemical sprays or pricey repellents, there’s a simple, eco-friendly trick hiding right in your kitchen: egg cartons. Yes, those humble boxes you usually toss in the trash can actually help keep mosquitoes at bay—naturally and economically.

Why Egg Cartons Work

Egg cartons are made of thick, porous cardboard that burns slowly, producing a steady stream of smoke when lit. Mosquitoes hate smoke, and when you add a few natural scents to it, you can create a powerful, chemical-free mosquito repellent that works just as well as store-bought solutions.
