Can coffee grounds be used for insects and pets?

 

Woah woah woah, don’t just throw those coffee grounds away! Did you know every year in the UK we waste 500,000 tonnes of coffee grounds, it’s quite ridiculous. At MF Products we have realised that coffee grounds have many practical uses other than for cooking and drinking. Used MF Coffee grounds can be used around the home and garden and can even help spruce up your beauty routine to help ensure you look ‘fab’.

We’ve previously mentioned the way how MF Products have used coffee grounds as fertiliser for their gardens so now it’s time to speak on what else coffee can do aside from being used for consumption. Many readers aren’t going to believe this however, MF Coffee grounds can be used surprisingly for your pets too. Now I know there are many questions and queries however it’s true. Coffee grounds can indeed be used for pets and insects. How? Let’s find out!

Fleas are a shared problem in household pets and treating them can be expensive and time-consuming (trust me, we know the struggle).There are several flea-elimination products on the market, but many contain punitive chemicals and can yield unsolicited side effects. Luckily, it’s been seen by the general public that coffee grounds seem to annoy fleas to the point where they don’t like it. Another use of coffee grounds for your pet that you may want to consider is using coffee grounds as a natural treatment. Simply massage the grounds throughout your pet’s fur after shampooing. Then rinse them off and allow your pet to dry as usual. Some say doing this may also add smoothness and shine to your pet’s coat. Although, coffee grounds may be less effective than a prescription product it is much cheaper to recycle old unused coffee grounds rather than paying for actual treatment when there’s solutions here at home.

Secondly and lastly, Certain compounds found in coffee, such caffeine and diterpenes, can be extremely toxic to insects and therefore will contribute in getting rid of bugs and creepy crawlies. MF Coffee grounds are effective at deterring mosquitos, fruit flies and beetles, and they may help keep other pests away too. To use coffee grounds as an insect and pest repellent, simply set out bowls of grounds or scatter them around outdoor seating areas. You can also keep pests out of your garden by scattering coffee grounds around your plants. This sprinkling technique can help create a barrier that slugs, and snails do not like to crawl over.

In conclusion MF Coffee grounds have the ability to be reused in more suitable fashions, especially after being wasted or going slightly out of date.
