While our service is the right choice to protect your home, you can never have enough protection from mosquitoes. Since there are so many products that claim to work yet provide little to no protection, we would like to offer our tips for which mosquito remedies to rely on, and which to completely avoid.
Anti-Mosquito Products: The Good and the Bad
Do not rely on any of these methods for protection:
- Smartphone Apps. There are apps that claim to repel mosquitoes by emitting the same sound as a dragonfly. These have been thoroughly tested and the results have shown that they do not deter female mosquitoes at all.
- Citronella Candles. They emit heat and carbon dioxide, which draws mosquitoes towards them and away from you. However, all candles do this, so there’s no need to spend your money on this specific product.
- Protective Wristbands. Some emit sonic tones, others give off insect repellents. They all have the same flaw: they only protect your wrist.
Here are some tips to actually reduce bites:
- Chemical Skin Repellents. Products with DEET or picaridin as the active ingredient work incredibly well at stopping mosquito bites. However, there are some concerns about potential long-term health effects, so use with caution.
- Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. This is an effective botanical alternative to chemical repellents recommended by the CDC.
- Mosquito Traps. These traps will quickly collect mosquitoes and contribute to reducing their overall population.
