Apart from preventing the spread of mosquitoes, it is possible to reduce the number of attacks and get rid of the pain of mosquitoes by using natural ingredients and some precautions. Learn how to avoid mosquito bites and what to do.
Basically, during summer, monsoon and winter, different types of sprays or coils with chemicals have to be used to avoid mosquito attacks. Accumulated water near the house should be cleaned. Removal of stagnant water is always essential for mosquito control.
Apart from this it is not possible to wear heavy clothes during summer. Still, as much of the body should be covered by wearing loose-fitting full-sleeved shirts and pants of thin fabric as much as possible. Then it is possible to avoid mosquito bites. Insects are usually attracted to dark colors. So the color of the dress should be light or white. It will provide comfort even in hot weather and will attract less mosquitoes.
Apart from this, fan air also protects against mosquito bites. Because mosquitoes are not strong enough to fly. When the wind is strong, they cannot stay still, they go away. And if you sit in the house, balcony or yard, you can protect yourself from mosquito attack with the strong wind of the stand fan.
Meanwhile, Rutgers University entomologist Dr. Dina Fonseca said in a report published on RealSimple.com, ‘Every three days any accumulated water should be cleaned. Because mosquito ‘larvae’ or larvae can grow in these waters within a few days. Therefore, if there is any water accumulated in the tub in the garden, in any hole or in the bird’s water bowl kept on the balcony, broken pots, broken tires and garbage, it must be cleaned regularly.
Mosquitoes can also be removed using nets. Because by installing nets on the doors and windows, the number of mosquitoes can be reduced by closing the way for mosquitoes to enter the house. At the end of the day, closing the doors and windows for a while or leaving them slightly open can reduce the number of mosquitoes in the house.
Apart from this, it is possible to drive away mosquitoes through incense. Along with any type of smoke to repel mosquitoes, the practice of incense has been around since ancient times.
