You must maintain insect screens and remove stagnant water inside and outside the house.
Avoid using strong perfume or cosmetics

Mosquitoes are commonly called ‘uninvited guests of summer’. They often target people who go to bed with the lights off, so they are also famous for causing insomnia. Especially in the fall season, people are complaining that they are getting bitten by mosquitoes more often than in the summer due to mosquitoes coming into warmer indoor spaces.
Unfortunately, there is currently no method developed that can 100% prevent mosquito bites. This is because the factors that attract mosquitoes are very diverse. You may think of using large amounts of spray-on mosquito repellent, but it is true that this comes with health concerns. How can we prevent mosquito bites in a way that causes as little harm to our health as possible?
▲ Maintenance of the environment around the house
It takes a lot of effort to catch mosquitoes once they enter your home. This means that it is less difficult to block mosquitoes from entering the house at the source. Insect screens should be installed on each window, and insect screens with holes should be replaced with small insect screens for repair purposes. Removing stagnant water inside and outside your home will help reduce the number of mosquitoes that hatch.
▲ Remove body odor
Mosquitoes are extremely myopic and have vision that can barely distinguish objects within 1 to 2 meters. On the other hand, the sense of smell is highly developed. Smells such as personal sweat and perfume can attract mosquitoes. Therefore, taking a clean shower before going to bed to remove the smell of sweat from your body can help prevent mosquitoes. In terms of mosquito prevention, it is advisable to refrain from using cosmetics with strong scents.
▲ Use of bedding and fans
The more you cover yourself with blankets, the less area mosquitoes can bite. However, in this case, people with a lot of body heat may develop insomnia due to heat. In this case, turning the fan towards your body will help not only cool the room but also prevent mosquitoes. This is because mosquitoes are light and have quite weak wings, so they are easily swept away by the wind from a fan.
It is also a good idea to correct your habit of sleeping once morest the bedroom wall. This is because mosquitoes have weak endurance, so they have to sit on the wall to rest from time to time. If you sleep next to the wall, from the mosquito’s perspective, there is food near the shelter.
