With the arrival of summer, the number of mosquitoes increases significantly. Dealing with these annoying pests has become a common challenge for many. Here are some effective and practical summer mosquito repellent tips to help you keep them at bay.
Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk, typically between 5:00 AM and 7:00 PM in the evening. To reduce their presence indoors, it's best to close doors and windows first before using mosquito coils or spraying repellents. After going out, wait about 30 minutes before returning. By then, the mosquitoes will either be dead or dazed, making it easier to eliminate them. You can then open the windows (with screens) to ventilate the room.
1. **Natural Mosquito Repellent Methods**
Dried orange peels or citrus peels wrapped in stockings placed in corners of the room can effectively repel mosquitoes while also freshening the air. Burning dried tea leaves is another natural way to keep mosquitoes away.
2. **Eat More Vegetables**
Certain vegetables, such as those rich in carotene and spicy ones like garlic, emit odors that mosquitoes dislike. Eating these can help keep them away.
3. **Plant Mosquito-Repelling Plants**
Flowers like jasmine, lemongrass, lavender, and eucalyptus release scents that mosquitoes avoid. Placing a few pots of these plants indoors, especially those that bloom at night, can significantly reduce mosquito activity.
4. **Wear Socks**
Wearing socks can reduce the moisture and volatile substances on your skin, making it less attractive to mosquitoes.
5. **Eat Garlic or Take B Vitamins**
Consuming raw garlic or taking vitamin B supplements can alter your body odor, making it less appealing to mosquitoes. The compounds are excreted through sweat, creating an odor that keeps them away.
6. **Use Air Conditioning Wisely**
Mosquitoes thrive in temperatures between 28°C and 31°C. Keeping your air conditioner below this range can naturally deter them from entering your home.
7. **Make a Mosquito Trap**
Use large bottles filled with sweet rice wine, fish guts, rotten eggs, and water. Place them in dark corners to attract and trap mosquitoes. In the morning, cover the bottle and shake it to kill the trapped insects.
8. **Avoid Scratching Bites**
When bitten, scratching can worsen the irritation and lead to swelling. If you resist scratching, the itching usually subsides within 10–15 minutes.
9. **Change Aquatic Plants Regularly**
Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Ensure that any water-holding containers, such as plant saucers, are changed regularly.
10. **Rotate Mosquito Repellents**
Using the same product for two months may reduce its effectiveness. Alternating repellents can maintain their potency. However, always be cautious of the potential health effects on people and pets.
11. **Garlic as a Natural Repellent**
Garlic emits a strong smell that mosquitoes find unpleasant. Eating garlic can make your body odor less attractive to them.
12. **Use Cool Oil or Wind Oil**
Placing cool oil or wind oil in your bedroom can create a scent that repels mosquitoes. Spraying it on mosquito nets or directly on mosquitoes before they land can enhance its effectiveness.
13. **Place Mosquito-Repelling Flowers Before Dusk**
Jasmine, roses, and other fragrant flowers can be placed indoors, especially those with a strong evening scent, to naturally repel mosquitoes.
14. **Install Orange-Red Light Bulbs**
Mosquitoes are sensitive to certain light colors. Using orange-red bulbs can help keep them away from your living space.
15. **Burn Dried Moxa Leaves**
Burning dried moxa leaves produces smoke that repels mosquitoes and creates a pleasant aroma.
16. **Burn Dried Tea Leaves**
This method not only helps repel mosquitoes but also adds a subtle fragrance to your home.

18. **Soak Star Anise and Fennel in Warm Water**
Taking a bath with water infused with star anise and fennel can help keep mosquitoes away due to the strong scent.
19. **Light Dry Orange Peels**
Burning dry orange peels can both repel mosquitoes and eliminate bad odors in the house.
20. **Use Mosquito Repellent Grass**
Placing a 30 cm tall grass with over 40 leaves in a 15-square-meter room can provide optimal mosquito repellent effect.
