Anti-Mosquito Products: The Good and the Bad
With so much demand for relief, it’s no surprise that the mosquito control market is filled with ineffective products. Here are some anti-mosquito options that simply do not work:
- Mosquito-Repelling Smartphone Apps. There are plenty of apps in the app store claiming to offer this function. Don’t believe it; no such technology exists.
- Citronella Candles. These candles are commonly known for their ability to attract mosquitoes. However, the truth is that they offer no more protection than any ordinary candle. Save your money.
- Protective Wristbands. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could wear something around your wrist that emits mosquito repellent and keeps these awful pests away? While these products do exist, they only serve to repel mosquitoes from the area in which they are worn.
Here are some products you can actually depend on:
- Chemical Skin Repellents. DEET and picaridin are the active ingredients most effective in deterring mosquitoes. Skin repellents are ideal for those trips away from home when you are in unknown areas that haven’t been professionally treated for mosquitoes.
- Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. A CDC-recommended botanical alternative to chemical skin repellents.
- Mosquito Traps. Excellent products that will help to decrease mosquitoes around your home or business.
