Small children are the first victims of mosquitoes. Their skin is delicate and thin, and according to doctors, it is possible to treat it with even the weakest means of protection only from the age of three. Therefore, the image of strollers and other attributes of infancy on the packaging should not tempt parents. Although the Moscow representative office of the French company Gilbert, which produces repellents under the Moskidoz brand, claims that in France and Poland their drugs have been successfully tested and are not contraindicated even for two-month-old children. The Russian Ministry of Health has not yet issued a corresponding certificate, but the company is confident that this is a matter for the near future. Therefore, while the most safe means for babies are British company Mothercare bracelets. They are made of flexible plastic and impregnated with a composition based on natural medicinal ingredients. The action is designed for 120 hours, but the bracelet can be hidden in an airtight container so that the protective substances do not erode unnecessarily. It costs about 300 rubles, but is so popular that it sells out instantly. Therefore, now it is no longer found in Mothercare branded stores, and new deliveries are expected by mid-July.

Inventors have been trying to fight bloodsuckers with ultrasound for a long time. However, devices designed to hit mosquitoes “on the ears” cannot yet boast of an impeccable reputation. Tests of domestic and imported devices, carried out at the same Research Institute of Disinfectology, gave, according to Olga Germant, an invariable result: “The way mosquitoes flew, they fly. As they bite, they bite." Nevertheless, progressives can conduct their own experiments. The Chip and Dip chain of stores sells various modifications of the universal ultrasonic repeller insects and rodents. It operates at frequencies from 12 to 38 kHz. Empirically, it is established which sound threshold is unacceptable, say, for a rat, and which one is unacceptable for a mosquito. To enhance the effect of the device, you can buy five more external speakers to the built-in speaker, and then the sound attack will cover an area of ​​30 square meters. We must pay tribute to the honesty of domestic developers: in the instructions they admit that "in some cases, the module may not be effective enough for those animals that were able to adapt to the action of ultrasonic vibrations." At the same time, the owner of the module himself should stay away from him, if he does not want his ears to be blocked, the work of the vestibular apparatus to be disrupted, and the sweat glands stimulated by ultrasound not to start working with a vengeance. Ultrasonic repellers cost from 200 to 500 rubles.

The most expensive mosquito killer sold in Moscow is Mosquito Killer for $750. It was invented in the laboratories of the US National Space Agency. This is the first working season of such a device in Russia, and a trial batch of 50 pieces has already been sold out. In essence, the "Killer" is a decoy duck, it only imitates a person. After being connected to the network, the body of the device is heated to the temperature of a warm-blooded creature, at the same time, strictly dosed carbon dioxide The creature is still breathing. Rubbing its paws in anticipation of the meal, the mosquito flies to its “victim” and is immediately sucked into the black hole by the fan, which becomes a 20-volt grave for it. The range of the device is 40 acres, so you can get along with your neighbors. Unless, of course, they are pacifists who believe that mosquitoes also need to live, and you can escape from them with a hat with a mosquito net (from 100 rubles) or a mosquito suit (from 1900 rubles).

Ekaterina Ryzhkova "The best folk remedies for mosquitoes" especially for the Eco-life website.

Summer is the sun, holidays, vacations for children ... You can list a lot more, but all this is overshadowed by some nuances called "mosquitoes". In this article we will do short review most effective ways the fight against these mosquitoes, reviews of which are very diverse, in most cases still justify our expectations.

Electronic mosquito repeller

Today is the most effective remedy from mosquitoes in the country and in the house - this is their electronic "scarecrow". This simple (and even trivial) device emits the thinnest squeak, reminiscent of the "talk" of a male mosquito. The point is that males make such sounds in case of any danger. This is what makes the female bloodsuckers get away!

All have their own characteristics, but one thing is known for sure - these are the best mosquito repellents to date. Reviews (mostly positive) about these devices literally flood the relevant forums! For example, the Typhoon LS-200 wide-range repeller, which emits frequencies from 5 to 18 kHz, is highly praised. A more expensive version of this "scarecrow" is "Tornado OK.01", which emits from 5 to ... 40 kHz! Moreover, most ultrasonic repellers are powered by portable batteries, which means they are universal, which we wrote about above.

People's fight against bloodsuckers

Recall that all insects do not tolerate the pungent odors emitted by some plants. Interestingly, many of these aromas, on the contrary, are pleasant to a person. Here are some plant "mosquito repellers" you can plant at home on the windowsill:

• basil;
• peppermint;
• lemongrass;
• geranium;
• rosemary;
• tomato;
• thyme;
• lavender;
• Melissa;
• valerian;
• Persian chamomile;
• tea tree;
• eucalyptus;
• garlic.

In addition to plants, the following spices can be scattered throughout the house or left on a saucer, in an open container:

• carnation;
• garlic;
• basil;
• mint;
• cinnamon;
• thyme (aka thyme);
• anise.

As practice shows, these are simply indispensable mosquito repellents for the home! Reviews about them are both positive and negative. It is understandable: not everyone has pampered inexperienced mosquitoes flying into the house. Often there are "experienced" specimens who have already met some unpleasant odors and realized that they were just being deceived.

Mosquitoes, if you get out into nature, a dime a dozen. Store shelves are littered with various means, but for some reason, not all of them are effective. MK-Estonia decided to find out which mosquito repellent is the most effective.

1) Aerosol for repelling ticks, flies and mosquitoes Diffusil Repelent Stop PLUS 2 in 1 (150 ml) - 4.79 EUR (Apotheka)
Rating: 4 plus
Made in the Czech Republic.
According to the manufacturer, the spray can be applied to the skin and even to the face, as well as to clothes and shoes. On the body, the spray will repel insects for up to 10 hours, on clothes - up to three days! The spray is not recommended for long-term use by children under 10 years of age (due to increased toxicity). If not for this minus, he could have received 5 points. Because throughout the evening not a single mosquito flew into the tent, treated with a spray, and to the stroller standing next to it. The smell is original - this is how freshly cleaned hotel rooms and salons of new cars smell. 5 hours after the room was "pooped" with the product, two wasps flew into the window. After staying in the room for a couple of seconds, they… dropped dead!

2) Aerosol for repelling ticks, mosquitoes and flies Diffusil Repelent Stop 2 in 1 - 4.5 EUR (Ülikooli apteek)
Score: 4
Made in the Czech Republic.
Less aggressive agent than his twin in the blue bottle. With 14% N, N-dietil-m-toluamid and 0.01% deltametrin (ISO). They promise up to 6 hours of skin protection and up to three days of clothing protection. The curtains in the kitchen were treated with this product, and not a single mosquito flew through the window during the day. But in the evening, on the street, mosquitoes shunned things treated with this remedy for no more than two hours. The smell is quite specific, sharp.

3) Yellow mosquito candle Citronella (BOLSIUS 65 to 90) - 1.49 EUR (Maxima)
Score: 2
Made in Holland.
A pleasant smell, a protective glass flask are undoubted pluses. The pictograms inform the customer how to use the candle and guarantee "work" up to 70 hours! Only now our mosquitoes, apparently, are different from the Dutch ones. Although there were significantly fewer of them in the district, the smell of the candle did not scare them away much. For about 20 minutes, fewer mosquitoes circled over the table than usual, but then they flocked like bees to honey.

4) Diffusil Repelent Kids - 3.45 EUR (Apotheka)
Score: 5
Made in the Czech Republic.
The label says it's suitable for people with sensitive skin. May leave marks on fabrics, contains aloe vera and D-panthenol 7% N, N-dietil-m-toluamid. No more about the composition, but it is indicated that due to the "unique composition" and the special consistency, it effectively protects against mosquitoes and ticks. Nice smell. Gives away dried cloves. The spray is greasy, so it can actually leave marks on clothes. For about two hours after use, not a single mosquito flew up to the stroller with the baby, but traces of the aerosol remained on the fabric of the stroller. Mosquitoes did not sit on the feet, sprayed with the product, for 1.5–2 hours.

5) Autan plus - 5.93 EUR (Euroapteek)
Score: 5
Made in Italy.
A very effective remedy. The manufacturer promises protection against mosquitoes up to 8 hours, against horseflies - up to 5, against ticks - up to 4 hours. During the walk, there was no end to the Õismäe mosquitoes. As soon as Autan plus was launched, the mosquitoes were blown away by the wind. Buzzing above the ear periodically appeared, but mosquitoes did not dare to drink blood for 1.5 hours. The smell resembles some kind of shampoo, but after prolonged use it becomes annoying.

6) Plix laste - 2.80 EUR (Ülikooli apteek)
Score: 3
Made in Estonia.
The lemony smell seems painfully familiar. During the "puffing" procedure, it suddenly dawns: "Invite"! Given baby remedy has been tested on adults. The inscription says that the product protects against mosquitoes for 1-2 hours. Well, it was more or less quiet for about an hour. Mosquitoes landed on open areas of the body, but did not dare to bite. The manufacturer warns: do not use more than three times a day. But during the walk, I had to pour a lot of the remedy so that it "worked".

7) Plix - 3.20 EUR (Apotheka)
Score: 2
Made in Estonia.
Minute mosquito repellent. When relaxing in nature, if you are sitting in a tent or tent and suddenly want to go to the toilet for 5-10 minutes, the remedy may help. It is better not to take it for fishing or for berries. I have to spray every 10 minutes. Maybe we came across a fake, but one day spent in the forest was enough to understand: it’s not worth buying more. During the day, two people completely used the entire aerosol can.

8) Off ball - 2.59 EUR (Prisma)
Rating: 3 plus
Produced in several countries.
Perhaps the most famous tool. About 10 years ago, when everyone used it without exception, it seemed that you couldn’t find a better Off. But over time, a suspicion began to creep in: either the mosquitoes adapted to this remedy, or the manufacturers began to hack. In general, mosquitoes still manage to bite areas of the body that have been previously treated by Off, although in general the tool works.

9) Off kids - 2.55 EUR (Prisma)
Score: 4
Produced in several countries.
The product for children is noticeably superior to its "adult" brother, but costs 4 cents less. For some reason, mosquitoes are more afraid of him. In terms of smell, it is a little sharper than a simple Off. Contains aloe. The duration is about an hour. Then, if you do not spray again, mosquitoes begin to overcome, and this is provided that the smell has not yet disappeared. You have to constantly tweak.

10) Off spiral - 2.59 EUR (Prisma)
Score: 2
Produced in several countries.
It does not help completely - from time to time you still have to fight off mosquitoes. You can say this: if you do not smear yourself with another remedy, then mosquito bites secured. In a pack of 5 spirals, each is designed for an hour. However, three spirals participated in the experiment at once - this is more efficient.

Get rid of mosquitoes, midges and ticks will help essential oils tea tree, eucalyptus, clove, thyme, geranium or lavender.

If you tolerate oil contact with the skin well, you can mix 20 drops of any "anti-mosquito" oil with 30 grams of any carrier oil (preferably grape seed or wheat germ), and apply the resulting mixture to exposed skin. You can “enrich” baby oil, cream or petroleum jelly with essential oil.

If you are wary of the idea of ​​applying essential oils to your skin, you can drip them into a medallion jug and wear it around your neck.

in an apartment or country house you can add essential oils to aroma lamps and put them near open windows. Another option is to soak a washcloth in the oil mixture and place it next to your bed at night.

Spicy cloves for mosquitoes

A proven and very effective folk remedy for mosquito bites is cloves, a popular spice. The specific smell of clove buds is pleasant to humans, but insects do not tolerate it.

Pour a tablespoon of cloves into a glass cold water, bring to a boil over low heat, wait until cool and strain. With a cotton swab, apply clove decoction to exposed skin, you can spray it on clothes. This will give you protection for several hours.

Cloves can also be used to replace a fumigator or an anti-mosquito coil. Cut the lemon into thick slices and stick the clove buds into them. The citrus-spicy smell is usually associated with the Christmas atmosphere, but also works great as an insect repellent. Place the resulting composition next to the bed or a table on the veranda - and the insects will not bother you.

Vanillin - an effective remedy for mosquitoes and midges

The aroma of vanilla is associated with fresh pastries. Compared to cloves, this smell is much less harsh, and making vanilla mosquito lotion is much easier.

Dilute a teaspoon of vanillin in a glass of water - and the product is ready. Soak a cotton swab in the solution and wipe the exposed skin. You can also spray vanilla water on clothing or the room.

A solution of vanillin is especially valuable in cases where we are talking about an annoying midge - it is more difficult to scare it away than mosquitoes, and even special means are not always up to the task. And vanillin will provide good protection.

Vanillin does not have to be used in solution: you can add half a teaspoon of vanilla powder to 50 grams of baby cream, then mix thoroughly. Apply the resulting fragrant cream to the skin, exude a “butter” aroma - and enjoy life without mosquitoes.

Decoctions for repelling mosquitoes: wormwood, wheatgrass and valerian

Another old and proven folk remedy for mosquito bites is decoctions from the root of valerian, wormwood or wheatgrass.

For one and a half liters of water, you need to take a handful of crushed roots of any of these plants, bring to a boil over low heat, then pour into a thermos and leave for 30-60 minutes, then strain and let cool.

The resulting product is wiped with open areas of the body and sprayed with clothes, this can protect against mosquito bites for 4-5 hours. However, valerian should be used with caution by cat owners: the smell of valerian will scare away mosquitoes, but is guaranteed to attract excessive attention of a pet.

Mosquito repellents from the home first aid kit: camphor and "Asterisk"

If there are camphor preparations in the home medicine cabinet, they can also do a good job in repelling insects. Any topical agent containing camphor can be rubbed a little into the skin behind the ears or lubricated on the wrists. And to drive mosquitoes out of the house, you can boil water in a small saucepan, add a few drops of the product to it and boil for several minutes - fragrant camphor steam will make the insects leave the room.

Another great mosquito repellent is the Vietnamese Golden Star Balm, commonly known as Asterisk. It contains clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus and peppermint oils, and this “cocktail”, applied to the skin in small amounts, is quite effective in repelling mosquitoes. However, it should not be used by allergy sufferers, and "Asterisk" is not recommended for children under five years of age.

Cologne "Carnation": the best of alcohol-containing remedies

Blood-sucking insects also dislike the smell of alcohol, so for short-term protection, you can treat the skin with alcohol, vodka or even cognac. However, the best alcohol-containing folk remedy from mosquitoes is the cologne "Carnation", which includes an extract of carnation flowers.

This is an inexpensive cologne with a rather pungent smell that many find unpleasant. However, as a remedy for mosquitoes, "Carnation" is very good. A small amount of cologne is applied to the skin or clothing, providing protection from insects for several hours.

Even the most good vacation in nature, insects, in particular, mosquitoes, can spoil. Their bites are quite backfire: itching, burning and redness of the skin.

Instruction

The smoking spiral is perfect for outdoor gatherings, as well as for use indoors where electricity is not available. The spiral consists of insecticides, which, when ignited, begin to exude an unpleasant odor for mosquitoes. However, the smell is harmful not only to insects, but also to, therefore, it is possible to set fire to the spiral only with open windows so that the room is well ventilated.

The mosquito repellent electric fumigator will cause less inconvenience when used in indoors than a spiral. A cardboard plate impregnated with an insecticide is placed in the device, plugged into the outlet. The smell of a heating plate disperses around the room and starts killing mosquitoes for 10-12 minutes. The electric fumigator is designed for a room of about 12 square meters. If the processed is larger, a second device can be used in parallel.

Mosquito repellent sprays should not be used on open areas body. It is best to apply them on and hair. If this is not an option, for example, you plan to sunbathe, give preference to repellent creams and lotions. However, do not rub the cream into the skin; for protection, it is enough to lubricate open areas of the body with light movements. Repellents work for two to three hours, after which the procedure can be repeated.

Clove oil is an excellent nighttime mosquito killer. Moisten a cotton pad with this solution, put it at the head of the bed and forget about annoying squeaks and bites. If there is no oil at hand, you can use ordinary alcohol: its smell is also not tolerated. But alcohol evaporates much faster, so the effect will not be so long.

You can scare away bloodsuckers from your home without the help of chemistry. To prevent mosquitoes from flying in to visit, place several bushes of tomato seedlings on the windowsills. This smell will become an insurmountable barrier not only for mosquitoes, but also for flies.

Tip 3: How to protect yourself from mosquitoes while outdoors

Summer - best time for relax. Some prefer to spend it in hot countries, others - in the city or in the country. In resorts, as a rule, prices bite, and in the native forest or on the river, mosquitoes bite. Protecting yourself from these annoying buzzing insects during outdoor recreation is not so difficult.

You will need

• - wheatgrass roots, cinnamon, anise, cedar or eucalyptus oil, onions, pine or spruce cones, valerian, juniper, cloves, basil, bird cherry, tobacco, mosquito repellent sprays, creams and gels

Instruction

Mosquitoes are very sensitive to various scents. That is why almost all products designed to protect against bloodsuckers are based on the use of plants that emit unpleasant odors for them.

An ordinary weed - wheatgrass, which grows in almost all forest glades, will help to reliably protect against mosquitoes during outdoor recreation. Take a handful of the chopped roots of this plant, throw them into a pot, pour two glasses of water, boil and cool. Wipe the exposed parts of the body with the resulting decoction.

They do not like mosquitoes and the smell of cinnamon. Mix a bag of ground cinnamon with a glass of water and boil gauze or any other cloth in the resulting solution. Throw the dried material over a headdress or hang it around the perimeter of the area you have chosen for relaxation.

If you find anise, cedar or eucalyptus oil in your camping gear, you can safely use it as a mosquito repellent. Lubricate exposed areas of the body with it or put a couple of drops into the fire. A specific aroma spread around you or your place of rest will scare away annoying insects.

If your own peace of mind is more important to you than people's opinions, protect yourself from mosquitoes with onion. Cut the onion in half and apply it to all exposed areas of the body. But most likely, the smell emanating from you will scare away not only mosquitoes, but also your friends.

In order to protect yourself and your loved ones from mosquitoes, make a fire from spruce or pine cones. Repellents also include valerian, juniper, cloves, basil, bird cherry and tobacco smoke.

There are many special repellents (creams, sprays and gels) to protect against mosquitoes, which can be applied both to exposed areas of the body and to clothing. How to use this or that tool is indicated in the instructions attached to it. At correct application repellents will not interfere with your rest, not a single mosquito.

Mosquitoes can pester us both in the country and in the apartment. To bite and obsessive squeaking, we smear ourselves with protective creams, run to stores for fumigators, hang special mosquito nets on the windows. However, it becomes much easier to deal with mosquitoes if you know exactly what kind of smells they do not tolerate.

Instruction

If you decide to go to the forest for barbecue, then do not forget to grab juniper twigs. The fact is that when burned in a fire, juniper thins out a special aroma that can kill all mosquitoes for several meters around.

For a simple walk in the forest, you should dress in such a way that there are as few open areas of the body as possible. All those areas of the skin that could not be closed should be rubbed with fresh leaves of mountain ash or bird cherry.

Insects love to stick to your face. However, a decoction of the roots of wormwood can save you from such a scourge. The decoction is made as follows: the roots of wormwood are chopped, poured with a liter of water, brought to a boil and infused for about half an hour. After cooking, you just need to generously rinse your face with it.

Essential oils of eucalyptus, basil, cloves, anise are especially effective in the fight against mosquitoes. To permanently expel insects from your home, it is worth moistening a piece of cotton wool with the oil of these plants and putting it near the windowsill.

If you want to not only protect your apartment from mosquitoes, but also decorate it, then put fresh elderberry branches in a vase. This smell repels many insects.

A large room can be rid of mosquitoes in as soon as possible, evaporating 100 grams of camphor or valerian over a fire source.

Do not rush to the store for a replacement unit for an electric fumigator. Instead, you can pour 100% eucalyptus extract into an empty bottle.

Fumigators. Currently, the most common way to deal with is the use of so-called fumigators. These are electric mini-devices that spray poison for mosquitoes. An anti-mosquito plate is inserted into the fumigator, and the device itself is turned on electrical network and is located at a distance of at least 1 m from a person. Attention! Do not use the fumigator in a house where there are pregnant or lactating women. In addition, fumigators have a negative effect on pets. Pets should be locked in a separate room during mosquito baiting, and aquariums and terrariums with turtles or snakes should be tightly closed.

Spirals. Specialty anti-mosquito coils are sold in stores. The principle of their operation is based on the spraying of toxic substances that make up the spirals. Some developers claim that such spirals are a complete analogue of anti-mosquito plates for a fumigator, only the effect of them is greatest. The instruction manual for the anti-mosquito coil says that it must be ignited from one end. In principle, this will help to overcome obsessive bloodsuckers, but you can do even better: you should put such a spiral on a hot frying pan, and then walk around the room with a frying pan in your hands: you need to bypass all visible places where mosquitoes accumulate. After use, the pan should be thoroughly rinsed and poured over with boiling water!

Currently, in souvenir shops you can buy special scented lamps that spray certain scented oils. It is curious that the purpose of their use is to create a pleasant aromatic atmosphere, and not to fight mosquitoes, but if you fill such a lamp with oil of cloves, cedar, eucalyptus or pine needles, mosquitoes will not find it enough! As you know, these insects hate such smells and try to get away as soon as possible. With the help of such a simple device, you can immediately kill two birds with one stone: drive away, and intimate setting create in the house.

Other ways to fight. The classic mosquito control methods include installing mosquito nets on windows and using various sprays and creams (before using the drug, it must be checked for anti-allergenicity). In addition, you can spread the leaves of peppermint, lemon balm, basil, lavender on the windowsills and in the corners of the apartment: both mosquitoes will die and other insects will scatter. An ultra-modern method of mosquito control is the use of an ultrasonic repeller that emits high-frequency sounds. Mosquitoes can't stand them.
