With the latter method, everything is more or less clear: you can put a mosquito net. But this is not the only way to protect the premises.
How to scare away mosquitoes? Fumigators
Hearing these words, many imagine bottles with poisonous liquids. This is partly true. There are fumigators designed to destroy (kill) mosquitoes, and repellents that repel insects. Fumigators include pyrethrins and pyrethroids acting on the nervous system of annoying midges. In certain quantities, these poisons are harmless to humans, however, cases of poisoning (overdose) still occur. Most often, fumigators are produced in the form of plates, spirals or aerosols. When heated, they release substances that kill mosquitoes into the air. It usually takes 60 minutes to clean a room or tent. There is an important warning: you can use fumigators only in ventilated areas.
How to scare away mosquitoes? Repellents

That is why such substances can not be rubbed, they are released as aerosols. True, there are repellents that can be applied to the skin: the concentration of harmful substances there is minimal. In pharmacies, creams, lotions and ointments for mosquitoes are sold, but they are not very effective.

To enhance the effect, the apartment can be decorated with dry bouquets of these plants. Oils or decoctions of these plants can be poured into aroma lamps or you can buy
scented candles with scented extracts. In nature, mosquitoes can be scared away by throwing coniferous branches and cones into the fire. If it is not possible to burn a fire all night, you can wash your face and exposed areas with a strong decoction of wormwood: mosquitoes are also afraid of it.
