Can I use a mosquito killer lamp if I have a baby?

The hot summer not only brings people the scorching sun, but also attracts a lot of mosquitoes, which everyone hates. Not only do they suck human blood, but they also sometimes carry some viruses. The most commonly used repellents are mosquito coils, in addition to floral water. However, the smoke emitted by mosquito coils lit with fire can drive away mosquitoes but can also cause certain harm to the human body. Therefore, many people choose to use the latest mosquito repellent tool - mosquito lamps, but can mosquito lamps be used with babies?

The principle of electric mosquito coils is to absorb the insecticide into the paper and use the hot air to evaporate the pyrethrum. Although pyrethrum is less toxic and relatively safe, electric mosquito coils are still highly lethal to microorganisms, so families with infants and young children should try not to use them. If you use electric mosquito coils in the baby's room, try to place it in a well-ventilated place and do not use it for a long time.

Children's respiratory tract is not fully developed yet, and they are easily irritated by mosquito coils and smoke, which can cause coughing, sputum and respiratory infections.

Do not use mosquito repellent lamps when your baby is indoors to avoid affecting your baby's eye development.

Here are some safe and natural ways to repel mosquitoes:

1. Use mosquito nets or screens to keep mosquitoes out. Mosquito nets can not only keep mosquitoes away and prevent wind, but also absorb falling dust, which is especially suitable for children. Screens allow fresh air to enter the room while keeping harmful fumes out.

2. Place a few opened boxes of cooling oil and wind oil in the bedroom, or place one or two pots of blooming night-blooming jasmine, jasmine, Milan, mint or rose, etc. Mosquitoes will avoid them because they can't stand their smell.

3. Install orange-red light bulbs indoors, or cover the light bulbs with translucent orange-red cellophane. When you turn on the light, mosquitoes will flee because they are afraid of the orange-red light. Do not use it when your baby is indoors to avoid affecting your baby's eye development.

4. Use an empty wine bottle or cup to fill it with sugar water or beer and place it in a dark place. Mosquitoes will smell the sweet wine and will run into the bottle, where they will be stuck by the sugar water or beer and die.

5. When using mosquito repellent grass to repel mosquitoes, the best effect will be achieved by placing a plate of mosquito repellent grass with a height of about 30 cm and more than 40 leaves in a room of about 15 square meters.
