When summer comes, outdoor enthusiasts clutch their heads, because along with the heat, inconveniences such as annoying insects come. They find you everywhere and always, it is simply impossible to hide from them, but still there is salvation - these are repellents. If you use mosquito repellent cream, then you can very well spend time outdoors without worrying about annoying insects, but only until a certain time. Because an effective remedy for midges has not yet been invented. But do not despair, because you can always use proven folk remedies, such as vanilla from midges.
Diluted vanillin
It may seem unbelievable, but vanillin is a great insect killer, especially small midges, which often simply do not allow passage on the street.
They fly in whole clouds and can sit on a man’s hand in a whole swarm - it looks awful, and the sensations are not pleasant. Moreover, some midges at the height of the season can be very aggressive and bite an unprotected person, which will cause severe itching and inflammation. But nevertheless, most often midges are harmless in this regard and annoy only by their annoying presence in huge quantities. But even this can be eliminated if you use
vanilla from midges. The most common powdered vanilla in bags, which is sold at any grocery store. The prescription of the protective agent is extremely simple - you need to dilute half a bag of vanillin in a glass of water, mix well, and apply the resulting liquid to all exposed areas of the skin. After half an hour, do the same procedure with the second half of the bag. After that, you can safely go to the street, because not a single midge will want to sit on you.
Vanilla Spray
However, it is impossible not to admit that it is not very convenient to use vanilla from midges in this way.
Therefore, craftsmen have long come up with a logical way out of a predicament. All you need is to take a bottle of vanilla water and a spray, which is fixed instead of the bottle cap - and the design is ready. You can spray any amount of solution onto your skin without getting your hands dirty or saving a product. Remember only the ratio, since you will need 2-3 bags of vanillin per liter bottle of water. The convenience of this method of using vanillin is that you can take such a home-made spray with you and spray yourself if you begin to feel that the midges flock to you again.
Vanilla cream
But the most reliable remedy for midges is a baby cream, in which all the same vanillin is added.
If you use vanillin from midges in this way, then the effect will be an order of magnitude better than when diluting the powder in water. But this remedy has its own serious drawback - due to the density of the cream in hot weather, sweating just torments you. So you have to choose one of the options - either a less powerful tool that can be used comfortably, or a powerful insect protection, the use of which is not very pleasant.
