4. Repelling lights
A great way to light up the evening and control the number of mosquitoes is to make your own non-toxic mosquito repellent fixtures.
They are simple to make and can be replaced throughout the summer, as needed.
5. repulsed natural house mosquito repellent
By using many of the same herbs you would like to plant in your garden to repel mosquitoes (mint, sage, rosemary, lavender and thyme), you can create a homemade mosquito repellent that really works.
It’s as simple as adding a generous amount of dried herbs to boiling water and brewing them under a lid until room temperature.
Mix the chilled herb preparation with 8 oz. witch hazel and put in a glass spray bottle. Keep your natural mosquito repellent handy when you go outside.
6. Wear light colors
White and light-colored clothes are a great choice for summer, not only do they deter mosquitoes (which prefer blue and black), but they also reflect sunlight, which keeps you cool.
It is also useful to wear lighter and more flexible fabrics. The goal is to cover as much skin as possible to avoid bites.
7. garlic mosquito repellent
You can still eat a lot of garlic to stay healthy and repel mosquitoes at the same time, but you can also make a garlic mosquito repellent for use in your garden, so everyone can benefit less of bites.
It takes nothing more than water, biodegradable dish soap and 4 crushed garlic cloves to form a spray that keeps mosquitoes away.
Insects despise the sulfur in garlic, so be sure to crush or mince fresh garlic cloves and sprinkle them in the yard. You can also rub garlic on your skin, even if it’s not just mosquitoes that are avoiding you.
8. mosquito net
If you plan to camp and sleep outside, a mosquito net is absolutely essential to avoid waking up with hundreds of bites.
It is also useful to have a covered area for children and babies outside, as well as a place of refuge surrounded by mosquito repellent plants.
9. plants repelling mosquitoes in your garden
Lemongrass plant
The green leaves of a lemongrass.
Aside from spraying or covering yourself, every time you go outside, using fragrant plants to repel mosquitoes in your garden is a great way to reduce the number of mosquitoes.
This is most effective if you think about it before the mosquito season begins.
You can plant early in the spring, or late in the fall, when you no longer remember an itchy mosquito bite.
