More practical advice on the website
When nature awakens to life in spring, its elements, which we usually don’t like, also return to ours. Of course, it’s about insects that make our lives miserable. The fact that they are necessary and perform specific functions for everyone is clear, but this does not mean that they stop bothering us when we spend time outdoors. The more so that meeting some insects, e.g. ticks, can have serious consequences for our health.
Better not to attract them
Mosquito and tick spray, insect repellent candles, certain plants on balconies and terraces sometimes help in the fight against nuisance insects. They will be more effective if we do not additionally lure them with clothes in certain colors. Unfortunately, there is no one that is enough to avoid when choosing clothes for a walk in the woods, a bike trip or a barbecue on the plot. Individual species of insects “like” some colors and ignore others.
Favorite colors of insects
Houseflies like shades of blue and avoid warm shades of yellow. Horseflies, on the other hand, are attracted to black, they do not seem to notice cream, beige and white. In purple, green and blue we will not be “attractive” to mosquitoes. These attract red, orange and black. So are bees and wasps. As for ticks, some claim that they “attack” people dressed in white more often, while ignoring people dressed in black, others believe that the color of clothes does not matter to them.
