4hw.com.cn: in addition to cooling down in summer, the most important thing is to prevent mosquitoes. Good mosquito repellent methods can help us avoid mosquito bites when we go to bed, and have a safe and stable sleep. Here are some tips for mosquito repellent.
What are the simple and effective methods of mosquito repellent and what are the unreliable methods
Mosquito repellent methods
1. Use mosquito repellent
It is better to install screens on all the windows in the home, and then install mosquito nets and other anti mosquito tools on the bed, so that the two pipes work together, and basically you will not be bitten by mosquitoes when you sleep, and you can also prepare some repellents, mosquito incense, anti mosquito lamps, etc.
2. Orange peel, star anise, etc
You can put some orange peel, star anise, anise, etc. in the room to drive away mosquitoes, because mosquitoes don't like the special smell of these things.
3. Shower more
In summer, you should take a bath frequently to keep your skin fresh. After sweating, you'd better wipe off the sweat in time. Mosquitoes like the smell of sweat best.
4. Use less soap and perfume.
Because the fragrance of these soaps may make you the target of mosquito bites, but some things with the smell of sandalwood, bay leaf, lemon grass oil and so on can have a good mosquito repellent effect.
5. Eat more vegetables
Because there are some odors that mosquitoes don't like in vegetables, such as vegetables with carotene, garlic, spicy vegetables, etc., eating these can reduce the probability of mosquito bites.
Which mosquito repellent methods are not reliable
1. Mosquito repellent plant
The smell of mosquito repellent grass, chlorpyrifos, mint and other plants placed in the room can really play a role in mosquito repellent, but the role is not significant. The real mosquito repellent grass is to use African Geranium to introduce citronellal of vanillin with gene fusion technology, so as to cultivate mosquito repellent grass with mosquito repellent effect. However, the mosquito repellent plants sold in our market are not necessarily effective.
2. Sugar water in the bottle
Although mosquitoes like the sweet taste, the sugar water bottle itself is not very big, and this is not the only factor that attracts mosquitoes. Relatively speaking, people are more attractive to mosquitoes, while the sugar water can attract few mosquitoes.
3. Vitamin B1 solution
Although the special smell of vitamin B family has a certain repellent effect on mosquitoes, a large amount of vitamin B is harmful to human body.
