To supplement our expert treatments, there are many different products on the market which claim to provide relief from mosquitoes. Here are our tips for which products to buy and which to ignore.
Anti-Mosquito Products: The Good and the Bad
Don’t waste your time with the following forms of mosquito ‘protection’:
- Smartphone Apps. There are apps out there that claim to repel mosquitoes through the use of dragonfly sounds. Unfortunately, these have been proven to offer no relief at all.
- Citronella Candles. While these candles have long been thought to have special anti-mosquito properties, the truth is they work just like any regular candle in that regard.
- Protective Wristbands. A device that emits mosquito repellent from your wrist may seem like a good idea. However, these only serve to keep mosquitoes away from the body part in which they are worn.
For enhanced protection, try these trusted remedies:
- Chemical Skin Repellents. Any repellent that utilizes DEET or picaridin as the active ingredient can be very useful in the fight against mosquitoes.
- Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. A CDC-recommended botanical alternative to chemical repellents.
- Mosquito Traps. These devices can be helpful with reducing mosquito populations around your property.
