Best Ways to Keep mosquitoes away

Lotions or sprays that contain DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or eucalyptus or lemon oil are the best choices to keep mosquitoes away. However, the repellent will need to be reapplied every couple of hours depending on the product’s formula. The rear of the pack will generally have instructions about when it needs to be reapplied. These lotions are safe for children aged above 2 months, so feel free to use them on your children as well.

Studies show that eating garlic can help keep these pesky pests away. While this bodes well for garlic-lovers, those who are not big garlic fans don’t need to consume it in a large quantity. In fact, if you boil some garlic and spray the mixture at places where you see mosquitoes camping, that should do the trick just as well. 

Citronella naturally repels insects, shows research. It makes your home smell minty fresh, keeps insects at bay, and does not have any side effects either. If you’re a DIY champion, take a jab at making citronella candles with oil on your own – it’s pretty simple!
