Search for ways to keep mosquitoes away and you are going to be bombarded with ideas and suggestions. But the real question is... How many of these methods actually do work?
As someone who has a bad reaction to mosquito bites, I have tried various methods to keep mosquitoes away both indoors and outdoors. Nighttime indoors is easy if you have a ceiling fan and a plug-in machine that accepts specially treated tabs that kill any mosquitoes that stray too near but these do not work outdoors and this has always been my main concern when sitting in the garden. I tend to swell up painfully when I get bitten by a mosquito and it can hurt and itch for days and days, so this was a very personal reason to find the best solution. Granted, there are a few items you will need to purchase for a guaranteed way of keeping mozzies at bay, but none of these items are overly expensive and worth the cost, for me at least!
So let's take a look at my guaranteed way to keep mosquitoes away when you are outdoors relaxing in the garden or entertaining friends and family.
1. Purchase a Floor Fan
While I specify a floor plan, this is because you can buy models that are very powerful and it works out cheaper than buying a standing or pedestal fan. Builders have a great selection of floor fans at differing prices depending on the model you pick. The higher the velocity - the better the result.
You know that hot air rises, so having a floor fan circulates cool air to replace warm air that rises to fill up a space and heat you.
The idea is to blow enough air that mosquitoes cannot home in on your scent and therefore don't even know you are there. However, if you are planning an occasion or event where plenty of people are attending, you might need more than one fan to protect everyone.
2. Apply Tabard Body Lotion
Don't waste your money on sprays or roll-ons for this as there is nothing that beats Tabard body lotion for value for money. You only need a small amount on arms and legs to provide enough of a deterrent for mosquitoes. They hate the smell and if you accidentally get a taste, you will understand why a mosquito will never land on your skin!
3. Burn Citronella or Lemon Eucalyptus Oil
Several surveys reveal that Citronella might not be as good at keeping mosquitoes away as Lemon Eucalyptus Oil, but burning either of these - preferably in an oil rather than a candle - will add an extra level of deterrent.
Studies show that Lemon Eucalyptus Oil is more effective at repelling mosquitoes than Citronella Oil.
Conclusion
The purpose of this article is to provide you with a guaranteed way to keep mosquitoes away and placing these three solutions into action will definitely provide you with protection. It might seem a tad over the top but, if like me you detest having mozzies flying around and biting, when combined these steps will work for anyone.
