Summer is the sun, vacations, kids' vacations ... There are many more to list, but all this is overshadowed by some nuances called mosquitoes. In this article, we will give a brief overview of the most effective ways to combat these insects. Remedies for mosquitoes, reviews of which are very diverse, in most cases still live up to our expectations.
Electronic mosquito repeller
Today, the most effective mosquito repellent in the country and in the house is their electronic scarecrow. This simple (and even trivial) device emits a subtle squeak that resembles the "conversation" of a male mosquito. The point is that the males make such sounds in case of any danger. This makes female bloodsuckers get away!
All ultrasonic mosquito repellers have their own characteristics, but one thing is for sure - these are the best mosquito repellents to date. Reviews (mostly positive) about these devices literally flood the relevant forums! For example, the Typhoon LS-200 wide-range repeller, which emits frequencies from 5 to 18 kHz, is highly praised. A more expensive version of this scarecrow is the OK.01 Tornado, which emits from 5 to ... 40 kHz! Moreover, most ultrasonic repellers work from portable batteries, which means they are universal, as we wrote above.
People's fight against bloodsuckers
The most common and modern home remedy for mosquitoes is, of course, a mosquito net! It is the barrier protection against bloodsuckers that is the foundation of all foundations. Well, if it does not help, and mosquitoes penetrate the dwelling, then it's time to think not about protection, but about the fight against buzzing parasites!
Recall that all insects do not tolerate the pungent odors exuded by some plants. Interestingly, many of these aromas are pleasant to a person. Here are some plant mosquito repellers that you can plant on your windowsill at home:
- basil;
- peppermint;
- lemon grass;
- geranium;
- rosemary;
- tomato;
- thyme;
- lavender;
- Melissa;
- valerian;
- Persian chamomile;
- tea tree;
- eucalyptus;
- garlic.
In addition to plants, the following spices can be scattered or left on a saucer throughout the house in an open container:
- cloves;
- garlic;
- basil;
- mint;
- cinnamon;
- thyme (aka thyme);
- anise.
As practice shows, these are simply irreplaceable home remedies for mosquitoes! Reviews about them are both positive and negative. It is understandable: not everyone pamper inexperienced mosquitoes fly into the house. Often there are "experienced" instances that have already met with some unpleasant odors and realized that they are simply being deceived.
Insecticidal mosquito repellent
Reviews of repellents (chemical preparations against mosquitoes) are also the most diverse and contradictory. The essence of any repellent is to make your body less attractive to bloodsuckers. They include various chemicals that can seriously scare off an insect. You can apply such funds both on the skin and on clothing. The second option is considered safer (chemistry - it is chemistry in Africa too). For example, the famous Gardex Family aerosol, judging by the reviews, is considered very effective, but very smelly and caustic against mosquitoes. Today repellents based on such an active substance as DEET are in great demand. For example, "Cream emulsion DETA", "Emulsion DETA", cream "Redet" and others.
