Some mosquitoes are quite poisonous. After being bitten by them, humans’ skin will become very itchy and they may even feel dizzy and vomit. Therefore, it is very important to prevent mosquitoes in summer. So, how to avoid mosquito bites? Here are a few methods.

1. The best way to repel mosquitoes in summer is to keep them out with mosquito nets or screens. Before mosquitoes become rampant, be sure to install well-sealed screen doors and windows in your home, and always close the screen doors and windows to prevent mosquitoes from entering the room.

2. Mosquito net, a safe haven. Hanging mosquito nets is the preferred method of repelling mosquitoes. Some people may think that hanging mosquito nets is old-fashioned and have already put them aside or even discarded them. Please change your mindset quickly and buy a new mosquito net, it is a magic weapon to fight mosquitoes.

3. Plant fragrance. The smells that mosquitoes don't like are citrus peel, mint, fennel, cloves, lavender, eucalyptus, lemongrass, osmanthus, geranium, basil, thyme, etc. For example, after drying orange peels, wrap them in stockings and place them in the corner, the smell they emit can not only repel mosquitoes but also refresh the air; when bathing, add a few drops of floral water or essential oil to the bathtub, which will not only make you feel refreshed but also repel mosquitoes, but be careful not to use excessive amounts to avoid irritating the skin; add geranium essential oil (4 drops) to almond oil (10 ml), mix evenly, and apply to your hands and feet, you can also apply a little on your face to prevent mosquito bites when going out or sleeping; buy an aromatherapy burner, add a few drops of lavender or eucalyptus essential oil, the room will immediately become fresh, and the "buzzing" sound will immediately disappear. However, the fragrance usually only lasts for 1-3 hours, so you have to master the time. Before dusk, place 1 or 2 pots of blooming jasmine, Milan or roses indoors, preferably tuberose. It can also have a good mosquito repellent effect.

The above introduces many methods to solve the problem of how to avoid mosquito bites. Mosquito coils, mosquito nets and toilet water are commonly used mosquito repellent tools.
