Tipp des Tages : 30 June

Avoid mosquito bites


To avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, some protections are needed.
You can wear long clothing, avoiding dark colors, when you go to an infested area. If you install a mosquito net around your bed, it will help you to have good nights.
It is also better to avoid standing water on your balcony or garden.
At dusk, avoid switching on the lights inside when the doors and windows are open.
You can try to repel mosquitoes by applying products they dislike on your body.
For example, you can apply a cream containing lemon, yarrow tea, pure vanilla, lavender and garlic.
Eating garlic is also good to avoid serving meals to the little beasts.
Once applied all that, the mosquitoes would no longer approach.
They will perhaps not be the only ones.
