1 Homemade bug repellent - Inhabitat provides an easy DIY bug trap using a plastic bucket with a lid and a used banana peel. Bugs are attracted to the sweet scent of the peel, flying into the trap through punctured holes.

2 Perfect for gardening - Banana peels produce methane gas, 84 times more intense than carbon dioxide. They can be used for composting or gardening by wrapping them around plants or creating a solution for indoor plants.

3 Splinter removal - To remove a splinter painlessly, apply a banana peel to the area for 30 minutes, which contains enzymes that help bring the splinter to the surface for easy removal with tweezers, according to Bright Side.

4 Cook with peels - When cooking meat or fish, adding a banana peel to the roasting pan can make it more tender by keeping it moist, acting as a "blanket" that retains moisture, according to Bright Side.

5 Reduce acne and scars - Bright Side suggests rubbing the fleshy part of a banana peel on the face for 10 minutes to reduce acne and scars, making it a potential addition to daily skincare routine.
