As it gets warmer, I gotta share my go-to hack to keep all the flies, mosquitoes, and bugs away

To start, all you need is a bar of Irish Spring soap and a grater. You can find these soaps in most supermarkets or online.

2. Grate the Soap:

Using the grater, shred the bar into small flakes. These flakes will be strategically placed to ward off insects.

3. Distribute the Flakes:

Place the soap flakes around areas where you frequently sit or gather, such as patios, garden beds, or outdoor dining tables. The scent of Irish Spring soap is a strong deterrent for pests.

4. Create Soap Sachets:

For added effectiveness, you can fill small, breathable fabric bags with soap flakes. Hang these sachets in problem areas like near doors, windows, or even in your tent when camping.

5. Reapply as Needed:

It’s important to note that the soap scent will fade over time, especially after rain. Replenish the flakes and sachets periodically to maintain their effectiveness.
