There are all kinds of tips for combating mosquitoes, but not everything works. In addition, it is also true that some products work well to keep mosquitoes away, but are not really very healthy.

Sitting outside in the evening is already a challenge with all those mosquitoes in the garden and it will probably not be long before we are also stung at night. By the way, you come across the craziest tips against mosquitoes against the internet, but what works and what doesn't?

Did you know that only female mosquitoes bite? These are already available again in abundance, to drive you crazy! Maybe we are already bothered by it because of the pond and the trees in the area, that's possible. For us, it is important that we tackle the fight against mosquitoes properly and keep them away, because not only we ourselves are awakened by the mosquitoes. The children also wake us up because we have to hunt mosquitoes in their bedroom. So it's time for the best tips against mosquitoes. On to a good night's sleep without that annoying buzzing!
As indicated, many tips are given against mosquitoes. Hence the distinction between the tips that (proven) do work against the mosquitoes and the tips that you find that we know for sure that they do not work. There are enough myths going around to keep mosquitoes away and I have also used a number of them for years without success. This really works:
With an electric flycatcher (the number 4, an excellent tip against mosquitoes) you are ahead of the mosquito problem. Hunting in the middle of the night with a sleepy head and an electric fly swatter is not good for my morning mood, I've noticed. Even if it works perfectly, you still have to get out of bed with it. He is one of the better tips against mosquitoes, but not the best. So we have an electric flycatcher that catches a considerable part of the mosquitoes and flies in the house every day. Although this is in the kitchen and not in the bedroom, there is a chance that we will also buy one for that, they are that nice.
But there are also other solutions so we will continue with our lists so that you can sit outside longer and sleep better without the mosquitoes!
There are all kinds of tips against mosquitoes in circulation, you can not think of it so crazy that someone has tried it and has an opinion about it. From best tips against mosquitoes in home, garden and kitchen remedies form to markers and sprays. And from natural solutions to very simple tricks and tips against mosquitoes. We have listed quite a few for you.
Incense, lemon, onion, cloves, garlic, basil ... it should help against the mosquitoes. Also vinegar, lavender and tea tree oil are used. Whether it all works is open to question, but if it doesn't bathe, it won't do any harm. These are all tips that you can try without being harmful to anything, so why not?
tip:The lavender oil is worth a try. Easy to make yourself:mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 30 drops of lavender oil and spread! Got 3 mosquitoes, uhhh flies, in one fell swoop. You smell good, the mosquito hates it and your skin is well cared for!
The anti-mosquito plug is also part of the tips against mosquitoes † Personally I don't have a particularly good experience with this, do you? You have them with sound, but there are few positive experiences about that anyway. You also have the plug with scent release. I personally hate all those stench markers and scent plugs. It all feels very unhealthy. But there is still stuff that really works.
DEET works fine for many people, for example. However, I don't use it myself because I find it too chemical. Also, it doesn't work for everyone. I don't think applying chemical stuff on your body, or inhaling it, is the best option for myself and certainly not for the children. But if you don't have anything better to hand… then this stuff often works.
⇒ You can buy DEET at the drugstore in your own city or online.
A natural mosquito repellent is of course better for yourself and for the environment. We also previously reviewed Squitos, that also works properly!
Squitos are small stickers that you stick near your bed. The product has been specially developed for babies and children and is 100% natural, so I find it very pleasant to work with. The stickers protect against mosquitoes for up to 72 hours and are also provided with all kinds of nice animal pictures. Highly recommended and you can buy them online here.
Tip:If you are looking for a good mosquito net against mosquitoes, take a look at this one, it gets very good reviews!
There are also plenty of 'solutions' that do not work against mosquitoes. I will list a few for you below, which you may also know yourself, but which really do not offer any help against mosquito control.
During my search I also came across some tips against mosquitoes that made my mouth open in surprise.
Anyway, in the first instance I will at least look for screens for windows and doors as a prevention system and then wallow like a princess in the lavender oil, see if I am 2-0 ahead in my fight against mosquitoes !
Plants are another natural way to keep mosquitoes away. There are a number of plants that are known to be effective against mosquitoes, so these should not be missing from these tips:
