Anti-Mosquito Tactics To Use or Avoid
When mosquitoes are occupying your yard, you need fast relief you can trust. Avoid wasting your time and money on the following ineffective methods:
- Smartphone Apps. Unfortunately, none of these alleged ‘mosquito-repelling apps’ work at all.
- Citronella Candles. These have been a common DIY tactic for a long time. However, recent information has proven that they offer no more protection than any regular candle.
- Wristbands. Mosquito wristbands that emit sonic tones or insect repelling are great at repelling mosqitoes—from your wrist. The rest of your body will still be completely exposed.
Here are some DIY remedies that you can actually rely on for some level of protection:
- DEET or Picaridin. These two chemicals are the active ingredients in the majority of insect repellents. When applied to your skin, they will deter mosquitoes and reduce bites. It is important to note that there are some fears that they haven’t been tested enough to rule out potential health effects.
- Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. This is the only botanical product that repels mosquitoes and is recommended by the CDC.
- Mosquito Traps. While you should never rely on traps as your only means of protection, they will certainly provide a reduction in your mosquito population.
