Household hacks for moisture control and insect repellent

Various household hacks are gaining popularity as a way to manage home environments during warmer months. One method involves placing a roll of toilet paper inside a refrigerator. Due to the porous structure of cellulose, the paper can help absorb excess moisture and reduce odors caused by condensation, which is common when refrigerator doors are opened frequently in high temperatures.

Another technique for managing insects involves placing orange peels near windows or doors. The peels contain limonene, a natural compound with a citrus scent that acts as a deterrent for flies, mosquitoes, ants, and cockroaches. Distributing the peels along window frames allows for a progressive release of oils to create a natural barrier.
