In the rainy season, mosquitoes appear more frequently. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, increased rainfall may lead to increased hatching of mosquito eggs; therefore, there is a greater chance of catching a virus after a bite.
How to keep mosquitoes away?
take advantage of the plants
Mosquito repellent plants have limited repellent power in space, since they only act on a few centimeters. These are a natural barrier against mosquitoes. Consider purchasing these: lavender, calendula, citronella and aromatic herbs such as mint, basil, rosemary, savory and lemon balm.
Don’t neglect your yard or garden
The places where mosquitoes lay their eggs are in their direct environment, in their outdoor spaces. Always check places where water accumulates. Take care of the water points: swimming pools, ponds, pools and wells, with natural products or simply introducing fish that eat the mosquito eggs.
fans
A draft can weaken these insects. Also, the fan can remove odors that attract mosquitoes to your skin.
Eucalyptus oil
Eucalyptus is one of the smells that make mosquitoes flee. Use this oil in a spray and you will notice how mosquitoes are reduced in your house or room.
citronella oil
This plant is native to Asia, but has become naturalized in the American continent and in Africa. Its effect is short-lived, from two to four hours, because it evaporates quickly. (YO)
