Banana peels, never throw them away: put them in a water bottle and always use them that way!

You are certainly also one of those who throw banana peels in organic waste. Nothing could be further from the truth: banana peels can be recycled and reused for various purposes. They are excellent as fertilizer for plants and also have healing properties for our skin and hair.

These are the most common and best-known (re)uses. However, there is another one, less known but very useful. Below we explain what it is.

Never throw away banana peels: they are very valuable!

Banana peels are a valuable source of vitamins and mineral salts, mainly magnesium and potassium. They are useful for skin and hair (they are among the most common ingredients in masks, shampoos, conditioners and creams) and to fertilize plants, which become stronger, more vigorous and more beautiful .

It is therefore wrong to throw them in the trash since these are the elements that can actually put back into circulation in various ways. Here is something you probably don’t know: read below to find out what it is.

Banana peels, put in a bottle of water and use like that!

Honestly, you have never thought of banana peels to keep away mosquitoes and annoying insects, have you? And yet, they are also ideal for this purpose, especially in spring and summer. Just use the home method that we recommend .

Get the following ingredients:

water 400 ml;
200 ml of white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar;
sugar 200 grams;

banana 1 peel;
2-liter water bottle.
Cut the plastic bottle in half with scissors or a cutter. In a bowl, mix the water, vinegar and sugar, then mix gently until well mixed. Pour the mixture into half of the plastic bottle and place the peel of a banana inside. Place the bottle in the corners of the house that are particularly appreciated by insects, which cannot stand the smell but are attracted by the sugar present. Remember to replace the mixture every two days.

In this way, without chemical repellents and at no cost, you will keep away flies, mosquitoes and all those annoying insects that usually annoy us during the warmer months of the year. We must never forget that chemicals are not only expensive, but they also harm the environment and the people who live there. The DIY method that we have just proposed is completely natural and safe. Now all you have to do is try it and see for yourself how effective it is. Do you think so too?
