Completely hammer these nails
Cloves are going to be your best friend this summer. Planted in a lemon or an orange, they are very good repellents. Indeed, the mosquitoes hate the smell of this spice.
A little freshness break
Mosquitoes are attracted to perspiration. A good shower therefore avoids seeing them circling around you. Perfume is also a bad idea because the smell attracts them.
Essential, these oils
The essential oils of citronella, lemon eucalyptus or bourbon geranium are the best known for scaring away these pests. Use them with a diffuser or soak a handkerchief that you have near you. On the other hand, to relieve bites, we recommend lavender essential oil.
Incense the vinegar
Another effective repellent, frankincense and vinegar. If we prefer to burn the first for its good smell, the second is no less effective. All you need to do is place a large glass of alcohol vinegar in certain places in your garden or house.
Slam the door in their face
The mosquito net remains a must to protect yourself from the intrusion of these insects into your home. It allows you to ventilate your interior without fear of the appearance of waspsflies or other mosquitoes.
Sting them in their pride
You can easily create a trap to catch mosquitoes. A bowl of water with soap is a good solution. They will be attracted to the water and be trapped by the soap bubbles. The plastic bottle cut with a mixture of water and sugar is a classic that also works very well. You can even trap flies or wasps with it.
I like, I like white
The WHO recommends wearing loose, light-coloured clothing. Indeed, mosquitoes would be attracted to dark colors. In addition, white attracts less heat. You will therefore do a double blow to the sun.
(Mare) of mosquitoes
Although this may seem obvious, it is always good to remember it. Mosquitoes love stagnant water. So try as much as possible not to leave water lying around in your pots, planters, gutters or even rainwater tanks.
And if all these stratagems prove ineffective despite everything, it is always possible to go to a bookstore to buy this week’s Mosquito magazineput it on your bedside table and roll it up to make it a lethal and fatal weapon once morest these biting little beasts… just where it shouldn’t be.
