Mosquito-Proof Methods

Summer is coming and so are the swarms of mosquitoes, save yourself this summer by knowing the most effective ingredients for mosquito repellent.

Many think that citronella candles help to keep mosquitoes away, but aren’t the greatest since they only work for a short time and small area. The most effective repellent is Deet that can be found in many mosquito repellents in lotion and spray form.

Past studies for Deet shows some side effects, leaving people to avoid purchasing products containing this. An alternative to deep is products with Picaridin, that provides the same effective result without so many side effects.

Another recommendation is to use products with Permethrin that is safe for using on clothing but not exposed skin. To create a repelling environment for mosquitoes to use a fan since mosquitoes are weak flyers (making it harder to fly), while detracting your scent that attracts mosquitoes.

Recommendations for mosquito repellents for companies such as Repel and Cutter, who use lemon and eucalyptus oil as natural repellents. This option is deet-free and keeps mosquitoes away for up to six hours.

These tips can help people with allergies and making for a fun summer, misquito-bite free.
