How do mosquitoes sense humans? It’s all about smell
Mosquitoes act like a radar on people and animals whose blood they can feed on. They are attracted to the smell of sweat and exhaled carbon dioxide, so they can track us even from extremely long distances. They attack not only while walking, but also in apartments. If you can’t sleep at night because of an irritating buzzing sound and you wake up in the morning with blisters on your body, it’s time to take action. What can you do to prevent them from visiting you again?

What is most effective against mosquitoes? Prevention is better than cure
The easiest way to get rid of mosquitoes is to buy a net to install on your windows. The mosquito net will effectively block access to the apartment for all types of insects. A magnetically closed door will work well, or you can add an additional entrance made of boards and mesh. Thanks to this, you can still enjoy fresh air and do not risk having uninvited guests appear in your home.
What repels mosquitoes? A home method that will not allow them to cross the threshold of the apartment
Mosquitoes have a sensitive sense of smell, so to effectively discourage them from appearing in your home, it is worth making homemade repellents. Ground tea, vinegar or essential oils with the scent of lavender and mint are perfect for this purpose. You can use them separately, for example by burning a candle in the fireplace with oil poured on top, or together. Put the products in a bowl and place them on the windowsill and you will effectively discourage mosquitoes from entering your apartment. You can also soak a tissue in them, then wrap it in aluminum foil like a pillow in a pillowcase, poke holes with a toothpick and place it in strategic places. They will not be noticeable and will act as a barrier against mosquitoes. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
