Here are 16 tips to keep mosquitoes away. These tips are quite useful. Why don’t you give them a try? As long as you really learn these tips, you can spend the summer safely!

1. Eat something that mosquitoes hate

Take vitamin B1 3-4 days in advance if going outdoors. After taking vitamin B1, a certain smell will be produced on your body. People cannot smell this smell, but mosquitoes cannot stand it and will stay away from you. It has a very good mosquito repellent effect.

2. Soak vitamin B1 in water and rub it on your body to repel mosquitoes

Fill a spray bottle with water, put five or six vitamin B1 tablets into the water, wait for the tablets to dissolve, spray them on various parts of your body, and mosquitoes will not come near you. This water-soluble vitamin has no side effects because it is sprayed outside the body. This is safer and more effective than taking vitamins.

3. Taking a bath with star anise or fennel can repel mosquitoes

Use two pieces of star anise and fennel from the seasoning, soak them in a basin of warm water, and use the water to take a bath. Mosquitoes will not dare to approach you.

4. Burning orange peels can also repel mosquitoes

Lighting dry orange peels indoors can replace mosquito repellent, which can not only repel mosquitoes but also eliminate odors in the house.

5. Wear light-colored clothes

Everyone, please pay attention! The Aedes mosquito (also known as the spotted mosquito) likes to land on black clothes the most. So everyone should try to wear lighter colored clothes in the hot summer.

6. Wear socks as much as possible

Many people like to wear shoes barefoot in the summer, but they don’t know that after wearing socks, mosquitoes feel that the humidity of human skin is lower and the volatile substances on the skin surface are reduced, so they will bite less.

7. Never scratch after being bitten

If we are bitten by a mosquito, we will catch it immediately. However, after scratching, the tissue fluid, lymph fluid, etc. in the skin will seep out and swell into a bag. The more you scratch, the more it will itch, and it will not be easy to subside. This is how the "red bean legs" covered with red bags are caused by scratching. If you persist in not scratching, the itching will generally subside significantly after 10 to 15 minutes.

8. Change the water regularly for aquatic plants at home

This is because if the water that nourishes aquatic plants is not changed for a long time, many mosquitoes will breed.

9. Mosquito repellents should be changed frequently

When using mosquito repellent, after using one brand for 2 consecutive months, you should switch to another brand to repel mosquitoes, which will be more effective. However, it is important to remember that mosquito repellent products can affect the health of both humans and pets at home.

10. Eating garlic can repel mosquitoes

Eating garlic can effectively repel mosquitoes because mosquitoes do not like the smell of garlic secreted by the human body.

11. Use cooling oil and wind oil to repel mosquitoes

Place a few opened boxes of cooling oil or wind oil in the bedroom; when lighting mosquito coils, the smell is choking. If you can sprinkle a proper amount of wind oil on the whole plate of mosquito coils before lighting them, the mosquito coils will not be choking, and the whole room will be filled with fragrance, which has a good mosquito repellent effect; when hanging a mosquito net, the air is stuffy. If you can sprinkle a few drops of wind oil on the mosquito net before hanging it, it can improve the air condition inside the mosquito net and increase the mosquito repellent effect.
