Come on, let's stay calm and this summer, let's make a good resolution!

No chemical sprays that are as deadly for mosquitoes as they are for the environment and your health or mosquito repellent outlets stuffed with DEET pesticides.

Why ? Because we offer you 5 remedies that are not only natural, but especially effective so you don't get bitten again. Watch:

1. The mosquito net

We never think about it. But the mosquito net is the anti-mosquito protection, probably the oldest, and certainly also the most efficient.

The mosquito net for babies is perfect for protecting little darlings and their skin that is so fragile and reactive to mosquito bites (be careful, however, that baby cannot catch the mosquito net!).

But it's not just for babies. I can also put it above my bed. It's almost romantic! As long as you don't invite a mosquito to share your protected space. Otherwise, the night will be hot... but you won't want more!

You can also install mosquito nets on your windows and doors, if the aesthetic side does not repel you. But don't forget that they prevent the air from circulating properly.

2. Lemon eucalyptus

5 REALLY Effective Natural Mosquito Repellent Remedies.

Not convinced by citronella as a lethal weapon against mosquitoes? Me neither.

Fortunately, there is much more effective than lemongrass. This is lemon eucalyptus essential oil. This essential oil has incredible mosquito repellent and anti-inflammatory properties.

How to use it ? Simply put 15 drops in a diffuser or on a tissue. And place it in the room where you are. You can also slip the handkerchief into the sleeping bag while camping to be quiet at night.

Mix a few drops in your shower gel or body milk to avoid stings during the day. I tested and so far, I must admit that it is quite effective for me.

And if you ever get bitten by a mosquito, know that this oil calms the itching thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.

3. Frankincense essential oils

5 REALLY Effective Natural Mosquito Repellent Remedies.

Tested and approved ! This anti-mosquito incense from the brand "Les Encens du Monde" works miracles.

Even if I was skeptical at first, it must be recognized that this incense with plants and essential oils does its job well. We can even say that it saved my nights last year by keeping mosquitoes away from my room until the end of autumn!

There are no doubt similar products in other brands, but I have not tested them. And I add that the publicity stunt is free!

4. Grandma's thing

5 REALLY Effective Natural Mosquito Repellent Remedies.

Against mosquitoes, you can always call Grandma to the rescue! Yes, there is a radical trick to eliminate mosquitoes, night and day. I tried and it works. We have already told you about it here in this tip.

To make this mosquito trap, just mix 20 cl of water with 50 g of brown sugar. Then, boil the mixture and let it cool.

Next, cut a plastic bottle in half and pour the mixture into the bottom of the bottle. Add 1 g of baker's yeast without mixing.

Turn the upper part of the bottle (that of the neck) over the lower part containing the mixture and wrap your trap in black paper.

Place it in the room of your house where you are. It is better if this room is not too big and if doors and windows are closed.

The gases released by the fermentation of yeast and sugar attract mosquitoes, which enter the bottle... but cannot get out!

The problem is that they die. And if you think that every living being has a place on Earth… that can pose a question of conscience. Everyone has their own opinion.

5. Anticipation

5 REALLY Effective Natural Mosquito Repellent Remedies.

Prevention is better than cure. To avoid being bitten, it is necessary to create an environment hostile to the mosquito. This is all the more important as the tiger mosquito seems more and more at ease in our temperate regions.

Rule #1 is to empty all water containers. Do not leave pots, buckets, tubs… full of stagnant water, whether outdoors or indoors. Mosquitoes love to lay their larvae there.

Then avoid smelling sweat… or smelling roses! Mosquitoes are attracted to strong odors and perfumes. So prefer neutral soaps and shower gels without perfumes or chemicals.

Preserve your room by closing the windows and not turning on the light that attracts them.

On the other hand, you can forget the ultrasonic anti-mosquito applications or the electric shock absorbers with white or ultraviolet light:make up your mind, they are ineffective.

There you go, now you know Grandmother's remedies for mosquitoes!
