Best 6 Steps to Prevent Mosquito

  1. Maintain a Clean and Dry Home
  2. Use Repellent
  3. Wear Appropriate Clothing
  4. Use Nets
  5. Lemon and Cloves
  6. Garlic Solution

1. Maintain a Clean and Dry Home

Unclogging your homes is the first step towards preventing mosquitoes. They love wet, cool and moist areas which accelerate breeding, so make sure you don’t provide the ideal homes for them.

2. Use Repellent

If at home, use liquid mosquito repellents which you can plug into the walls and switch on. If travelling or outdoors, make sure you have enough stock of mosquito repellent creams and/or sprays. Citronella and DEET are said to be the most effective mosquito repellent compounds, with the former allowing up to 3 hours of protection from mosquitoes.

3. Wear Appropriate Clothing

If going outdoors, make sure you have ankle-length trousers and long sleeve t-shirts or shirts. Do not wander around with excessive skin exposed because you’re making yourself susceptible to mosquito-related diseases.

4. Use Nets

Make sure you invest in high-quality netting at home. While doors and windows can stay open, these nets will ensure the mosquitoes don’t come in, while allowing air ventilation too. However, pick high-quality only as cheap quality nets may start wilting soon.

5. Lemon and Cloves

This is probably the easiest DIY method for mosquitoes ever. All you have to do is cut a lemon and stick some cloves in it. Voila! This will keep mosquitoes away as well as flies. Also, you can say bye to the dengue virus as well. Such natural methods are preferred as there are no harsh chemicals involved.

6. Garlic Solution

Another fairly simple home method in our guide to mosquito prevention. Here, all you need to do is crush a few cloves of garlic. Then, boil this crushed garlic with water and pour the solution into a spray bottle. The solution can help keep mosquitoes away for a few hours.
