Citrus fruits are oranges, lemons and limes. Do you know that the largest citrus fruit is the pomelo?

Not contented with merely consuming them as it is or making juices, Re-Nest tells us that there are 27 household uses for these fruits.

Some useful tips are:

• Rub fresh orange or lemon peels over your exposed skin to keep away mosquitoes and gnats.
• Puree orange peels in 1 cup warm water. Slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to get rid of them.
• To keep cats from using your lawn as a litter box, mix orange peels and coffee grounds and distribute it around their favorite spots.
• Certain people are having trouble with their barking puppies. Train them to stop by getting a squirt of lemon juice in their mouths.
