What are the methods to prevent mosquito bites

Summer is the season with the most mosquitoes, especially if you live near rivers or water, it is more likely that there will be too many mosquitoes, which will make people unable to sleep at night. The mosquito bites are very painful. What's more serious is that mosquitoes can transmit a variety of diseases. Therefore, it is important to prevent mosquito bites in the summer. However, some of the mosquito repellent products currently available are mostly made of chemical raw materials, which are harmful to human health. Here we will introduce some healthy and green mosquito repellent methods.

1. Eat more garlic. Eating garlic can effectively repel mosquitoes because mosquitoes do not like the smell of garlic secreted by the human body.

2. Make good use of cooling oil and essential oil. Place a few opened boxes of cooling oil or wind oil in the bedroom. When you light mosquito coils, the smell is choking; when you hang a mosquito net, the air is stuffy. If you can sprinkle a proper amount of medicated oil on the entire mosquito coil before lighting it, the mosquito coil will not be choking, and the room will be clean, with a good mosquito repellent effect. If you can sprinkle a few drops of medicated oil on the mosquito net before entering it, you can improve the air conditions inside the mosquito net and increase the mosquito repellent effect.

3. Place mosquito repellent flowers. Before dusk, place 1 or 2 pots of blooming jasmine, Milan or roses indoors, preferably tuberose, because mosquitoes cannot stand the fragrance of these flowers and will flee.

4. Install orange light bulbs indoors. Since mosquitoes are afraid of orange-red light, it can produce a good mosquito repellent effect.

5. Light the moxa leaves. Roll the dried mugwort leaves into a rope, light it and place it indoors. The smoke can repel mosquitoes.

6. Burn dry tea leaves. Burning dried tea leaves can repel mosquitoes.

7. Use sugar water to trap mosquitoes. Fill an empty wine bottle with 35 ml of sugar water or beer and place it on a table or in a place where there are many mosquitoes indoors. The mosquitoes will smell the sweet wine and fly into the bottle, where they will be stuck by the sugar water or beer and die.

8. Use laundry detergent and water to kill mosquitoes. Close the doors and windows, place a basin in front of the window, add some water mixed with laundry detergent into the basin. The next day, there will be some dead mosquitoes in the basin. If you continue to use this method every day, you will almost never need to spray insecticide to kill mosquitoes. And there will be fewer and fewer mosquitoes. Because laundry detergent is alkaline, mosquitoes are not suitable to grow in alkaline water. However, there are spices in laundry detergent water, which will make female mosquitoes mistakenly think that there is food and lay eggs in it, thus achieving the effect of killing mosquitoes.

It is recommended to use multiple methods of mosquito prevention together for better results. In addition, if conditions permit, you can take a bath before going to bed and put a few drops of medicated oil in the water. On the one hand, it can relieve fatigue, and on the other hand, it can prevent mosquito bites to a certain extent. In short, multiple methods should be used for prevention in places where there are many mosquitoes.
