Summer season not only brings heat but also increases the number of mosquitoes, which causes a lot of trouble. As soon as the evening falls, the terror of mosquitoes starts in the houses. Although many mosquito repellent sprays, liquids, coils, creams and lotions are available in the market, but sometimes they can be harmful to health. Especially in homes where there are children, it may not be appropriate to use coils. Some people are also allergic to the smoke from coils and mosquito repellent creams or lotions. You can try some home remedies to keep mosquitoes away without spending much money.
All these products available in the market, be they sprays, liquids or coils, contain chemicals that can cause problems like itching in the eyes, skin allergies and breathing problems. You can also ward off mosquitoes by using natural materials.
Neem leaves for mosquito control
The best way to avoid mosquitoes is to always use mosquito nets. Additionally, people have long been using neem leaves as a natural mosquito repellent. You can also dry neem leaves and burn them. The smoke emanating from burning neem leaves not only drives away mosquitoes but also kills other bacteria.
Use cold oil instead of lotion
If you are allergic to mosquito repellent lotions or creams in summer or their smell irritates you, you can apply cooling oil. Lemongrass and clove oil form a protective layer on the skin from mosquitoes. Actually, its fragrance keeps mosquitoes away.
To ward off mosquitoes,
Take 4-5 bay leaves in an earthen vessel. Add some cloves and 1-2 spoons of mustard oil in it. Now break a camphor tablet into 2-3 pieces and put it in a vessel. Instead of burning it quickly, let it smolder slowly and show smoke around the house. With this you will get rid of the problem of mosquitoes.
Make spray for mosquitoes at home
You can prepare mosquito repellent spray at home. First of all, grind some garlic cloves and boil them in water. Filter this mixture and put it in a spray bottle. Spray this mixture in the corners of your house, around plants and other places where mosquitoes congregate.
