The rainy season is here. Although it will provide relief from the oppressive heat, one thing is a necessary evil, mosquitoes. Mosquitoes pose a serious threat to human health because they can spread vector-borne illnesses such as malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and many more.
If you want relief from mosquitoes, try these home remedies-
Avoid water stagnation
Make sure the buckets are placed inverted to avoid the needless collection of stagnant water.
Use insect sprays
During the monsoon season, using a spray might help you avoid mosquitos and other insects.
Use mosquito trap
An electric insect trap at your home can quickly attract, capture and kill mosquitoes.
Try mosquito-repelling plants
Several therapeutic herbs can be used, including Citronella, Lemon balm, Marigolds, Basil, Lavender, and Rosemary.
Use Camphor
Strong tiny particles emitted by camphor are very good at driving insects away.
Make a garlic spray
Garlic's potent aroma deters mosquitoes from biting and promotes a mosquito-free atmosphere.
Use lemon and cloves
Keep a lemon cut in half with a few cloves inside it in various locations around the house. Its natural essence helps repel mosquitoes.
