Why are mosquitoes buzzing around you?
Many people think that mosquitoes are attracted only to light, but in reality, they are mostly attracted to breath and body heat.
We exhale carbon dioxide, and mosquitoes can detect it from several meters away. They are also attracted to body heat and certain natural skin odors.
That's why some people get bitten more than others, even in the same room.
Using a fan: a very effective tip
Another very effective tip is to use a fan in the room. Mosquitoes are very small insects and they have difficulty flying when there is a breeze.
A fan directed towards the bed can:
- Cool the room
- Prevent mosquitoes from flying properly
- Keep mosquitoes away from your body
It's a simple, natural and very effective solution for a peaceful night's sleep .
Smells that mosquitoes dislike
Certain scents can help repel mosquitoes. You can use:
- Lemongrass
- Lavender
- Eucalyptus
- Basil
- The geranium
You can use essential oils (always diluted), scented candles, or even plants in the bedroom. In addition to making the room smell nice, this can help keep insects away.
