Introduction
When we live in a tropical country like India, having a mosquito-free home is an unfulfilled dream. Most of us rely on mosquito repellent sprays or mosquito repellents or liquids to get rid of mosquitoes indoors. But most of these are full of chemicals and besides creating difficulty in breathing are harmful to the people in the house especially children.
Mosquito related disease
Apart from dangerous mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue and yellow fever, mosquitoes can also be very annoying by disrupting sleep, as they itch for a long time after a bite, and the noise they make can keep you awake. We can escape from mosquitoes through some simple ways.
Mosquito-free home
Stop mosquitoes from entering your home if you want a mosquito-free home, you must first ensure that mosquitoes do not enter your home. Close all doors and windows tightly at dusk and sunset, unless mosquito nets are attached to your entrance. Although sunlight keeps mosquitoes away to a certain extent, they are most active after dusk. Door strips can be purchased online to block the space around doors and windows where mosquitoes can enter the home. These will be very useful for you.
Mosquito Breeding Indoors
Prevent Mosquito Breeding Indoors If you are wondering how to control mosquitoes at home, you need to check if mosquitoes are breeding somewhere inside your home. Water in your AC or garden pond can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Storerooms and kitchen floors where old items are stored inside the house are prone to breeding, so clean them regularly. Fill ditches outside your home, cover drains and clean them frequently to keep mosquitoes around your home.
Mosquito Repellent Plants
Grow Mosquito Repellent Plants an easy way to repel mosquitoes indoors is to plant mosquito repellant plants indoors. You can keep these plants inside your room or on your desks for a mosquito-free home. Some of these plants repel not only mosquitoes but also other insects and rodents. These plants are usually small and can be easily kept indoors to control mosquitoes at home. Indoor mosquito repellent plants such as marigold, basil, lemon tree and mint can be grown.
Lemons and cloves
Place lemons and cloves around the house one of the tried and tested methods of having a mosquito-free home is using lemons along with cloves. Mosquitoes hate the smell of cloves and citrus. So cut the lemon in half and stick the cloves in both halves. Place this clove-infused lemon on plates to repel mosquitoes indoors. It is a natural and harmless indoor mosquito repellent.
Garlic Spray
If you don’t want to use chemical mosquito sprays, garlic spray can be effective for a mosquito-free home. Crush or chop some garlic cloves and boil them in water for a while. The solution can be poured into a spray bottle and sprayed around the house to control mosquitoes at home. Garlic has many virtues and can be used to repel mosquitoes at home. The smell of garlic is strong, but it kills mosquitoes instantly.
Soap water
Did you know that a bowl of soapy water can act as an indoor mosquito repellent? You can keep a large bowl of soapy water inside your home to control mosquitoes at home. Make sure there is enough soap to cover the bowl with bubbles. You can use a dishwashing detergent or laundry detergent for this. Mosquitoes are attracted to water. But once they sit in this soapy water, they get trapped in the bubbles and die, giving you a mosquito-free home.
Alcohol
If you drink beer or any other alcohol, it is a good way to repel mosquitoes indoors. Keep a small container of beer or alcohol in your home to control mosquitoes. Mosquitoes cannot stand the smell of beer and alcohol, and this method will remove mosquitoes from the house.
