Natural ways to prevent mosquitoes from approaching you
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

You must spend a lot of time in your garden or balcony, especially when the weather is warm or hot, and you may also want to open the windows at night to allow the cold air to enter, but the result is a mosquito attack on your body, which leads to the appearance of itchy red bumps.

Apart from using products that contain chemicals, which you may not want to use, or may cause some allergies, there are several ways to keep these insects away from you as much as possible. Let us introduce you to these five betting tricks you may not have heard of before.

The fan deters mosquitoes from flying

Mosquitoes cannot fly well when it is windy, even a light breeze annoys them, this weak point can be used against them, just turn on the fan and try to point it down a little, because the mosquitoes will try to fly down a little to avoid the air of the fan.

Light clothing makes you invisible to mosquitoes

 Often attacking at sunrise or sunset, these insects look for colors that reflect the horizon light, such as black and other dark colors.

If you wear lighter colors it will be less noticeable to mosquitoes and thus will not be an appetizing food for them. White clothing may not be an easy option to use, especially since it is easy to get dirty, but it is definitely a good trick if you don’t want to be bitten by mosquitoes.

The smell of lavender repels mosquitoes

Mosquitoes hate the smell of lavender, so if you plant a few lavender plants in your garden, you will significantly reduce mosquito visits to your home.

 You can also apply some expanded lavender oil with another oil, such as sweet almond oil, directly on your skin, if you want to keep mosquitoes away, according to a laboratory study . It is an especially nice option if you are about to go to bed; Because the smell of lavender relaxes people.

Garlic misleads mosquitoes

This method may prevent people as well as mosquitoes from approaching you, but it may save you if the mosquito bites become unbearable.

Eating garlic will cause the pores to secrete the garlic smell, for this reason your smell will become less like the smell of humans, and the mosquitoes will less desire to come to you, you can also add crushed garlic with some concentrated oil such as lavender, then add water, and make a home spray for mosquitoes, the smell will flush mosquitoes away.

Cloves repel mosquitoes

Besides lavender, mosquitoes also hate the smell of cloves. You can fill a bowl with water and add some cloves to it. Place the bowl on a table or on your nightstand, and the mosquitoes will walk away. Or you can use extended-release clove oil and put it on clothes.

Protection

Mosquitoes love moisture a lot, so the more dry your house is, the less mosquitoes. If you want to prevent mosquitoes from hanging around your house and indoors, you will need to make sure that there is no stagnant water around your home, this is where mosquitoes lay their eggs! 

Make sure to change the water in your pet’s bowls every day, and clean them properly. If you have a garden, it is best to water it in the morning, as this way it will dry up throughout the day. It is also a good idea to use mosquito netting around your bed, and of course the mosquito repellent spray will also help you if the situation is out of control!
