Is mosquito coil effective in repelling mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes are insects that bother everyone in daily life, especially in summer when mosquitoes are very rampant and their vitality becomes very strong. Red bumps will appear on the skin bitten by mosquitoes, and allergic skin will have serious skin problems, which has a great impact on human skin. Mosquitoes are also very strong and generally like to live in hot environments. So what kind of mosquito coils are most effective in repelling mosquitoes in life? Let us take a look at it together below.

1. Coil mosquito coil

It generally contains DEET and picolinate, which have a more significant mosquito repellent effect. When using, it is better to close the doors and windows. Compared with electric mosquito coils, it is more toxic. Long-term use may cause certain harm to the human body. It is best not to use it if possible. If you must use it, it is best to buy smoke-free ones.

2. Electric mosquito coils (mosquito coil liquid, mosquito coil tablets)

Similar to the principle of mosquito coils, they generally contain pyrethroid insecticides. In comparison, it is less toxic, but its mosquito repellent effect is not as good as that of disc mosquito coils.

3. Electric mosquito lamp

Use LED light sources to attract mosquitoes. It has certain effects and is relatively environmentally friendly, but the effectiveness is controversial. There is currently no clear evidence to confirm the mosquito repellent effect of electric mosquito lamps, and the disease control department does not recommend its use.

4. Floral water

It can prevent mosquito bites for a certain period of time. It is recommended to spray in advance when going out. The World Health Organization recommends the use of floral water containing DEET and picaridin, but it is best not to spray it directly on the wound.

5. Mosquito repellent plants

Use the fragrance emitted by plants to repel mosquitoes. But the mosquito repellent effect is limited.

6. Mosquito-killing fumigation tablets and aerosols

Mosquito fumigation tablets and mosquito aerosols can kill mosquitoes directly. However, these two types of chemicals are highly toxic, so it is recommended that they be sprayed in dark corners such as table corners and cabinet corners to avoid direct contact with infants and young children.

7. Physical mosquito repellent (mosquito nets, window screens)

This is the most environmentally friendly traditional method of mosquito repellent, and it is recommended to use this method to prevent mosquitoes. It is also recommended to treat mosquito nets and screens with pyrethroid insecticides to achieve better mosquito repellent effects.
