Ways to Protect Yourself from Mosquitoes

The arrival of summer also means saying hello to mosquitoes. Losing sleep in the summer heat and then scratching our skin until it's sore is a real annoyance. It's worth taking a look at what you can do before you start hunting mosquitoes. You can keep mosquitoes away from you with quite natural methods. For example, you can start by not wearing dark-colored clothes. Dark colors mean shelter for mosquitoes. Avoid salty foods and foods high in potassium. Keep in mind that lactic acids attract mosquitoes like magnets. Act with the thought that sweating also attracts mosquitoes.

Lavender, Cloves, and Basil

Use lavender oil. Clove or orange peel are also scents that will repel mosquitoes. You can even prepare solutions to spray around your house or wherever you are. Collect cloves and hang them in bunches somewhere in your house. They look decorative and keep mosquitoes away. Even having basil in a few places in your house will do the same job and your home will smell wonderful. You can also achieve protection by applying a mixture of peppermint oil, catnip oil, tea tree oil, eucalyptus, and water that you prepare for your skin. If you also plant marigolds or garlic in your garden or on your balcony, you will have taken an additional precaution. Apply pure vanilla to your pulse points before sleeping.
