Mosquitoes are known to dislike the smell of certain citrus fruits, such as grapefruit, oranges, and lemons. These fruits contain compounds that mosquitoes find unpleasant.
Other fruits that may repel mosquitoes include:
- Bananas: While there's no scientific evidence to support this claim, many people believe eating bananas helps deter mosquitoes.
- Lemongrass: Lemongrass contains citronella, a common mosquito repellent.
While consuming these fruits might not completely eliminate mosquito bites, they might contribute to reducing your attractiveness to them.
