Warm weather increases bugs and odors in garages, but used coffee grounds offer a simple, chemical-free solution. They contain nitrogen that fights odors and releases a pleasant scent. By placing coffee grounds in your garbage bin or creating sachets, you can combat smells effectively. Besides deodorizing, coffee grounds serve as a pest deterrent for insects like mosquitoes and ants due to caffeine's toxic effects. Ensuring that the coffee grounds are dry can prevent any potential mold, maximizing their effectiveness against unpleasant odors and pests.
Next time you brew a cup of joe or whip up your own espresso, make use of those old coffee grounds.
Coffee grounds contain nitrogen, which gives them powerful stink-fighting abilities. Not to mention that coffee naturally has a strong and pleasant scent that helps mask smells.
Sprinkling coffee around the cracks and crevices of your garage will help deter these critters.
While damp coffee grounds can be undesirable, fresh coffee grounds can thwart unwanted odors and pests.
