Whether hosting dinner parties with guests or relaxing in the sun, this peace is often disturbed by a swell in the activity of insects. Enter orange peels.

When it comes to keeping your patio space free of unwanted pests, the solution can be as simple and surprising as using orange peels. Not only do these citrus remnants repel insects, but they also offer a plethora of other benefits to your yard, making them an ideal choice for any gardener looking to employ a natural yet effective method to banish pests.
想要让您的露台远离害虫困扰，其实方法简单又出乎意料，比如使用橘皮。这些柑橘残渣不仅可以驱虫，还能为您的庭院带来诸多益处，因此对于任何想要以自然有效的方式驱除害虫的园丁来说，橘皮都是理想之选。

This patio idea may appear unconventional, but it is an effective way to maintain your exteriors this springtime (and beyond) – and it has been approved by those in the know. This is how to use orange peel to deter pests, for good.
这个 露台设计 可能看起来不太寻常，但它是今年春天（以及之后）维护户外空间的有效方法——而且已经得到了业内人士的认可。这就是如何利用橘皮永久驱虫的方法。

Why orange peels deter pests为什么橘子皮可以驱除害虫

'We know that spices can deter common garden pests, but citrus is also a pretty common natural repellent for all types of nuisance bugs,' says Brett Bennett, director of operations at PURCOR Pest Solutions. 'Using orange peels around your patio can be a surprisingly effective method for keeping pest insects like flies, and mosquitoes away from your outdoor spaces.'
PURCOR 害虫防治 公司运营总监 Brett Bennett 表示：“我们知道 香料可以驱除常见的花园害虫 ，但柑橘也是相当常见的天然驱虫剂，可以有效驱除各种害虫。在露台周围使用橘皮，可以有效防止苍蝇、蚊子等害虫进入户外空间。”

'The strong, citrus scent of orange peels is unappealing to many common garden pests, including mosquitoes, flies, and ants. These peels contain limonene, a natural chemical that is toxic to insects yet harmless to plants and animals, making it an effective insect repellent,' explains David Moore, board-certified entomologist and manager of technical services at Dodson Pest Control.
“橙皮浓郁的柑橘香味对许多常见的花园害虫（包括蚊子、苍蝇和蚂蚁）来说毫无吸引力。橙皮含有柠檬烯，这是一种天然化学物质，对昆虫有毒，但对动植物无害，因此是一种有效的驱虫剂。” 多德森害虫防治公司（Dodson Pest Control） 认证昆虫学家兼技术服务经理大卫·摩尔（David Moore）解释道。

It also helps mask the natural aromas that attract them. Sense of smell is essential for insects; it's how mosquitoes, flies, hornets, and other pests find their food. While their highly sensitive olfactory system means they can easily locate any food that is left out and so are often drawn to your home, this can also be used to your advantage by employing scents they hate to throw them off the scent trail to your home.
它还能掩盖吸引它们的自然气味。嗅觉对昆虫至关重要；蚊子、苍蝇、黄蜂和其他害虫正是通过嗅觉来寻找食物的。它们高度敏感的嗅觉系统意味着它们可以轻松找到任何遗漏的食物，因此经常被吸引到你家。你也可以利用这一点，使用它们讨厌的气味，将它们从你家的气味踪迹中驱散。

Pros 优点

Eco-friendly: 'Using orange peels as a pest deterrent reduces the need for chemical sprays, contributing to being more sustainable at home,' says David Moore. 'Chemical repellents often contain substances that can be harmful to both the environment and the health of humans and pets.
环保： “使用橘子皮驱虫可以减少对化学喷雾剂的需求，有助于 提高家居的可持续性 ，”大卫·摩尔说道。“化学驱虫剂通常含有对环境以及人类和宠物健康有害的物质。”

'By opting for natural solutions like orange peels, you are choosing a safer, non-toxic option that reduces your ecological footprint. This practice aligns well with organic gardening principles and supports a healthier ecosystem within your garden.'
选择像橘皮这样的天然解决方案，您就选择了一种更安全、无毒的选择，可以减少您的生态足迹。这种做法符合有机园艺的原则，并有助于您花园内形成更健康的生态系统。

Cost-effective and practical: Orange peels as a method to get rid of pests are cost-effective and, frankly, just quite convenient – especially if you are an avid orange eater.
经济实惠又实用： 用橘子皮来除虫是一种经济实惠的方法，而且坦白说，非常方便——特别是如果你是一个橘子爱好者的话。

Instead of buying commercial insect repellents, you can simply use leftovers from your kitchen. This not only saves money but also reduces food waste, aligning with eco-friendly lifestyle choices.
无需购买市售驱虫剂，您可以直接使用厨房剩余的食材。这不仅省钱，还能减少食物浪费，符合环保的生活方式。

Cons 缺点

Can attract other pests: 'Orange peels can attract larger pests like wasps or even rodents if they are not managed properly,' explains David Moore. 'It is crucial to replace the peels regularly and ensure they are not overly abundant, which might invite unwanted animals.
可能吸引其他害虫： “如果管理不当，橙皮可能会吸引黄蜂甚至啮齿动物等体型更大的害虫，”大卫·摩尔解释说。“定期更换橙皮至关重要，而且要确保橙皮不要过多，以免引来不受欢迎的动物。”

Causes a mess: 'Additionally, while the peels are biodegradable, they should be replaced or removed once they start to mold to maintain the cleanliness and health of your patio and garden spaces.'
造成混乱： “此外，虽然果皮是可生物降解的，但一旦开始发霉就应该更换或清除，以保持露台和花园空间的清洁和健康。”

How to use orange peel to deter pests如何利用橘子皮驱除害虫

Expert Kevin Rodrigues from Gardening Mentor suggests there are two key ways to bring orange peel into your garden: using a spray or placing chopped-up orange peels near your plants.
园艺导师 专家凯文·罗德里格斯 (Kevin Rodrigues) 建议，有两种主要方法可以将橘皮带入您的花园：使用喷雾器或将切碎的橘皮放在植物附近。

Spreading orange peels around your patio is certainly the easiest way to approach this, however, it can undermine the aesthetics of this space and necessitates regular cleaning to avoid moldy peels littering your space. Luckily, there's a more subtle way to reap the benefits of this technique – a homemade bug spray.
在露台周围撒橘子皮无疑是最简单的方法，然而，这会破坏露台的美观，而且需要定期清洁，以免发霉的橘子皮散落在露台上。幸运的是，有一种更巧妙的方法可以充分利用这种方法—— 自制杀虫剂 。

Kevin Rodrigues from Gardening Mentor recommends boiling a few orange peels in a cup of water for ten minutes, then straining the liquid into a spray bottle once cool.
园艺导师 凯文·罗德里格斯 (Kevin Rodrigues) 建议将几片橙皮放入一杯水中煮十分钟，待液体冷却后过滤到喷雾瓶中。

'Spray this every 3-4 days to get rid of pests like slugs, aphids, ants, whiteflies, and fruit flies – and to keep them away,' Kevin says. This option also works equally well indoors, so you can protect your best indoor trees around your home too.
“每 3-4 天喷一次，就能消灭蛞蝓、蚜虫、蚂蚁、粉虱和果蝇等害虫，并让它们远离。”凯文说。这种方法在室内也同样有效，这样你就能保护好你家周围 最好的室内树木 。

Alternatively, you can pulverize peels in a food processor and then mix the "dust" with water in a spray bottle.
或者，您也可以使用食品加工机将果皮粉碎，然后使用喷雾瓶将“粉末”与水混合。

Additionally, for an extra boost, Jeremy Yamaguchi, the CEO of Lawn Love recommends, 'Soaking the peels in white vinegar can create a stronger, more effective spray. Soak them for one to two weeks in a sealed container, then pour the liquid into a spray bottle.'
此外，为了进一步提升喷雾效果， Lawn Love 首席执行官 Jeremy Yamaguchi 建议：“将果皮浸泡在白醋中，可以产生更强效的喷雾。将果皮放入密封容器中浸泡一到两周，然后将液体倒入喷雾瓶中。”

Alternatively, you can chop up (or grind) your orange peels into small pieces. By strategically placing dried orange peels around plants, seating areas, and wherever you notice pests lingering and along the patio edges, you can create a pest-free zone without the use of harsh chemicals.
或者，你可以把橙皮切碎（或磨碎）成小块。巧妙地将干橙皮放在植物、座位区以及任何你发现害虫出没的地方，以及露台边缘，这样你就能创建一个无虫害区域，而无需使用刺激性化学物质。

Be sure to replace them once they have dried out.
一旦它们干燥了，一定要将其放回原处。

Gardener Josh Tesolin of RusticWise also urges you to ensure you're placing only the peels and not the orange flesh, as this could have the reverse effect. 'The sugars and juices from orange flesh may actually attract some backyard insects,' Josh warns.
RusticWise 的园丁 Josh Tesolin 也建议你只放果皮，不要放果肉，因为这可能会适得其反。Josh 警告说：“橙肉中的糖分和汁液实际上可能会吸引一些后院昆虫。”
