One of the disadvantages of outdoor recreation is the danger of insect bites.
Mosquitoes are especially zealous in this matter.
Everyone knows that just one annoying mosquito can deprive you of peace for a long time.
The bites of these insects are painful and sometimes cause allergies.
To be fully prepared in spring and summer, try to remember a few tips that will help you avoid mosquito bites.
1. One hundred grams of camphor or valerian, evaporated over a burner, will rid even very large rooms of flies and mosquitoes.
2 . Finely chop fresh bird cherry or rowan leaves and rub on exposed skin.
3 . Essential oils of clove, basil, anise, eucalyptus:
Apply to exposed areas of skin (5-10 drops per glass of water), or onto a fire source – in a fireplace, bonfire, on a candle or a heated frying pan. Soak a cotton pad with the oil of these plants and place it on the windowsill.
4. Place fresh elderberry branches in the room; they repel mosquitoes in the same way as the smell of tomato leaves.
5 . If you decide to sit in nature, throw juniper branches into the fire.
6. The scent of cedar oil repels not only mosquitoes, but also flies and cockroaches.
7 . Not a single insect will touch your face if you wash your face with a decoction of wormwood roots (pour a handful of chopped roots into 1.5 liters of water, bring to a boil, leave for 20-30 minutes).
8. When you run out of liquid for your electric fumigator, don’t rush to the store for a replacement unit. Pour 100% eucalyptus extract into an empty bottle. Mosquitoes will forget the way to your house.
Have a pleasant and safe holiday and picnics in nature!
