Cunning so as not to get stung!
An ideal breeding season for mosquitoes, summer marks the return and proliferation of these harmful insects that would spoil an evening on the terrace in less than two! There are several natural methods to scare them away:
Lemongrass essence
Buy it from your pharmacist and put it on all the surfaces of your skin likely to be attacked by mosquitoes. However, test on a small area to avoid any allergic reaction.
The pot pourri
Prick cloves in a slightly old orange, it must be completely covered. Then place this creation on your nightstand or near the sofa and close the doors and windows. Once the room is well permeated with the smell, no more mosquitoes will venture there.
Smoke
Burn some incense. The smoke will quickly scare away pests, no need for a particular scent. If you are outdoors or camping, know that a greenwood outbreak is radical in warding off pests.
Fill up on vitamin B1
Brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, brown rice, fish roe, pistachio, macadamia nuts … the sources are numerous. Mosquitoes will flee skin soaked in vitamin B1 (naturally from a natural source)
Take care of your outfit
It seems that mosquitoes would run away from people dressed in white, blue or pale green. Conversely, they would be very attracted to floral patterns, in particular red in color.
