Understand Mosquitoes March 26, 2019

Enjoy a mosquito-free summer!

Imagine, one Sunday evening, you are sitting in your balcony, sipping a cup of hot tea, gazing at the sky and suddenly the mosquitoes flock together with their buzzing sound. How well is a nice calm Sunday moment ruined! We are in the month of April and also on high-alert with the first widespread long-duration heat wave of the year. With this, there will be a lot of unexpected guests or we should say pests following us everywhere we go this summer. Yes, the mosquitoes! The warm weather in fact keeps the mosquitoes alive for longer and this menace is predicted to only get worst.

A small bite, as they say, is enough to give us a big threat to life with dreadful diseases like Dengue, Malaria & Chikungunya. We are here to give you some tips to help you understand how to get rid of mosquitoes:

1. Camphor: Lighting camphor in a closed room improves the quality of air and its fragrance drives the mosquitoes away. Just placingthe camphor tablets in every corner of the room is enough too. It will evaporate in a day and keep the atmosphere in the house pleasant and clean.
2. Tulsi: Not just mosquitoes but this power plant is known to keep all insects away. While we all love the aroma of this plant, mosquitoes and other pests seem to hate it and hence, they stay away.
3. Garlic: There is no simpler technique than this if you can bear the smell. Simply boil the garlic and spray the water in your room, we promise there will be no hitches or itches.
4. Lavender: Apply some drops of lavender oil on your body…it is known to keep mosquitoes away for at least 8 hours.
