Season many mosquitoes, don't worry, this simple, cheap way will make mosquitoes go away immediately

Mosquitoes are the most obnoxious beetles. Besides causing discomfort with itchy bites, mosquitoes also pose a risk of infection with dengue and malaria. For homes with small children and pets, it is not possible to use insecticides that contain chemicals. So knowing some natural ways to chase mosquitoes is extremely helpful, according to Asia one.

Regularly check standing water

If your home has gutters, water vases and indoor and outdoor water trays or anything that can accumulate water, clean them regularly.

Use windows with mosquito screens

You do not need to always close the window. Enjoy fresh air while keeping mosquitoes inside. Install windows with nets to prevent mosquitoes from flying into the house. Remember to check the old grid to detect holes to replace in time!

Use yellow light instead of white light

Turn your porch light from bright white light to yellow incandescent light. Yellow lights are less likely to attract mosquitoes. If you open windows and doors at night and don't use insect nets, use a yellow indoor light that can keep mosquitoes and other bugs away, according to Asia one.

Use mosquito repellent oil

Eucalyptus essential oil, lemongrass, tea tree oil and lavender are some of the essential oils that repel mosquitoes. Avoid using frankincense essential oils because mosquitoes like fruits. It is recommended to create a natural insect repellent with an essential oil mixture in the spray bottle, diffuse the essential oil with an essential oil vaporizer or massage it on the body before nightfall. Always check the oils accordingly on pets or children before use, according to Asia one.

If using natural insect repellent, remember to reapply after every few hours as the effect will disappear quite quickly. You can also burn citronella candles near the window but be careful, as they can be a fire hazard.

Plant mosquitoes

If the house has a garden, planting a mosquito repellent will help a lot. Some tropical mosquitoes will grow well in our sunny climate, including: peppermint, marigold, pig tallow, lemongrass and cat mint. Leaves of these trees release the fragrance and leave in the hallway, balcony and in the window or rub on clothes, according to Asia one.

Use mosquito traps

A mosquito trap uses UV lamp or LED to attract mosquitoes, and then traps them inside a device that can help catch and reduce the number of mosquitoes.

Turn on the fan

Mosquitoes are very weak when flying and do not like flying against strong air currents, so turning on fans while sleeping at night or while sitting on a balcony seat will help keep mosquitoes away, according to Asia one.

Notice during the peak breeding season of mosquitoes

It is currently the season of dengue fever in the hot and sunny localities. Hope some of these mosquito repellent tips can help you prevent this mosquito-borne disease, especially when mosquitoes attack during the peak breeding season!
