What is the most environmentally friendly way to repel mosquitoes?

What I hate most in summer are mosquitoes. Their buzzing noise affects my mood, and they bite people, making me feel very unhappy. In addition, babies’ skin is delicate and more susceptible to mosquito bites. Mosquito bites can interfere with your baby's sleep and rest, and can also transmit diseases such as malaria and Japanese encephalitis. Therefore, in the summer, you must do a good job of repelling and killing mosquitoes. So, do you know any environmentally friendly mosquito repellent methods? Here we will introduce to you the most environmentally friendly mosquito repellent methods. Let's take a look.

Physical mosquito repellent

Representative: mosquito nets, screen windows

Hanging mosquito nets, installing screen doors and windows, using electric mosquito swatters, mosquito lamps and other physical methods to avoid mosquitoes is the most effective way without side effects.

During outdoor activities, parents can use a fan to gently fan the baby to drive away mosquitoes. Because mosquitoes like brightly colored clothes, for example, bright yellow clothes easily attract small flying insects. Therefore, when parents choose clothes for their babies, they should mainly choose light-colored clothes, which can help prevent mosquitoes.

Comment: The baby's skin and respiratory system are very delicate, and have a strong absorption capacity, plus a fast metabolism, so the best method for babies is physical mosquito repellent. Using mosquito nets and screens is safe and non-toxic. Not only is it effective in preventing mosquitoes, the small space inside the mosquito net also gives the baby a sense of security. Babies occasionally like to stay inside and look at the hazy world outside.

Chemical mosquito repellent

Representative 1: Mosquito-repellent coil

The main ingredient of mosquito coils is insecticide, usually pyrethroids, which are less toxic. From the instructions of some mosquito coils, we can see that the content of allethrin in various mosquito coils varies greatly, with the highest content being as high as 0.35% and the lowest being only 0.02%. The mosquito repellent effect will vary depending on the content. However, this substance is a low-toxic drug. Although its toxicity is very low within the range specified by the state, it is still dangerous for young infants and young children with poor resistance. Therefore, for infants and young children under 3 years old, we recommend that they use electric mosquito coils (see below for details), which are less toxic.

Comment: Generally speaking, if you use mosquito coils or electric mosquito coils in your baby's room, be sure to place them in a well-ventilated area and avoid using them for long periods of time.

Representative 2: Electric mosquito coils

The principle of electric mosquito coils is to drop the prepared active liquid medicine into the paper, and use the electric heating element to generate a stable heat source to evaporate the active medicine. There is no smoke or dust and it does not stick to clothes. The general efficacy can last for 8 to 10 hours. Its efficacy is better in the early stage of use (4 hours before). Since electric mosquito coils produce aerosols mainly composed of tiny droplets and have no suitable volatilization carriers, the diffusion range of their active drugs is relatively small, which makes them slightly worse when the mosquito density is high or the usage space is large. However, electric mosquito coils do not produce solid particles such as dust and are therefore more suitable for use in air-conditioned rooms. For example, the Chaowei Babyjian electric mosquito coils, each piece can effectively repel mosquitoes for 12 hours, have a fragrance-free and mild formula, and add mint plant essence, which is especially suitable for children and the elderly.

The principle of electric liquid mosquito coils is to put the prepared active liquid medicine into the packaging bottle, lift the active ingredients to the top of the core rod through the capillary phenomenon of the microporous core rod, and then volatilize through the radiant heat of the heating element. Its mode of action is the same as that of electric mosquito coils, but because it does not require daily replacement of tablets, it reduces contact with the medicine. For example, the Chaowei Babyjian electric mosquito repellent liquid, each bottle can effectively repel mosquitoes for 45 nights, has a fragrance-free and mild formula, and is added with mint plant essence, making it especially suitable for children and the elderly.

What is introduced above is an environmentally friendly method of repelling mosquitoes. I believe everyone has already understood it. I also want to tell you that you must pay attention to ventilation when lighting mosquito coils. Moreover, the lit mosquito coils should be placed away from the baby's head, because we do not necessarily have to kill mosquitoes, but use drugs to make them no longer have the ability to bite people.
