The heavy rains that have already fallen are an advantage for the mosquitoes, who have managed to lay a lot of eggs. They are all coming out now with the warm weather.
Before you know it, a mosquito is buzzing in your bedroom. The question is what works best against mosquitoes. Many remedies don’t help at all. Ultrasonic mosquito plugs don’t work, because mosquitoes can’t hear it.
A mosquito repellent that contains an insecticide only works over a short distance, so it does not provide a guarantee that you will not be bitten.
A blue UV light mosquito repellent lamp won’t help much, because mosquitoes are barely sensitive to light and therefore not very attracted to it. Citronella candles are also not very effective, their effect is very slight and local.
DEET is a good mosquito repellent.
A good way to repel mosquitoes is to use a product that contains DEET. You have to be careful though. “DEET can sometimes cause skin irritation and is not suitable for pregnant women and children. Overexposure can lead to symptoms of toxicity. Good alternatives are eucalyptus oil, lemon, and its derivative citridiol,” she says. Allgemeen Dagblad.
