There are more mosquitoes, and various [mosquito repellent] products are also selling enthusiastically.
In order to help everyone spend their money on the cutting edge, Dr. Clove took stock of mosquito repellent products for everyone today.
Of course, the first product is basically free-
A bowl of chicken/duck/pig blood
Even if you put a bowl of human blood at the head of the bed, it is useless! (So this does not count, the following is the first)
Mosquitoes prefer to suck human blood probably because:
-
Human blood is fresh and the smell of food (energy) surges inside.
-
Human blood has temperature and is easy to attract mosquitoes.
The blood poured into the bowl has lost both advantages. Don’t blame mosquitoes for ignoring it.
Mosquito repellent bracelet
It’s totally useless.
The principle of the mosquito repellent bracelet is about [wearing mosquito repellent ingredients on the bracelet], of which the ingredients are generally advertised as [natural plant essential oil] [without DEET].
[Completely useless] This is not what Dr. Clove said, but what a paper published in the authoritative medical journal New England Journal of Medicine in 2002 said. The original text expressed two meanings:
-
They found that the effective time of [plant mosquito repellent ingredients] such as citronella and geranium would not exceed 20 minutes and could not repel mosquitoes outdoors for a long time.
-
The concentration of effective ingredients that the bracelet can provide is worrying, not to mention the whole body, even the wrist cannot be effectively protected.
As long as there is a cool breeze, the mosquito repellent bracelet martial arts are completely useless, so don’t waste money.
Mosquito repellent lamp/mosquito killer lamp
It doesn’t work, but if it is placed next door, it may be useful.
Dr. Clove has used mosquito repellent lamps before. He gets up every day to look at the withered and burnt bodies of mosquitoes inside. He is quite happy with revenge. However-
The ankle will still be bitten a circle.
Only later did I realize that, in fact, the vast majority of those [dried and burnt corpses] are not mosquitoes that suck blood for a living!
Therefore, hanging mosquito repellent lamps mainly points out the direction for bloodsucking mosquitoes…
If you accidentally bought it, you’d better put it next door.
Mosquito swatter
It is not meaningful to use it alone. It needs to be matched with mosquito nets, screen windows and sewage cleaning operations.
The electric mosquito swatter is not so much a [mosquito prevention product] as an extension of our slap.
If the sewage in the corners is cleaned up and the mosquitoes are slapped with electricity, there is indeed hope of a good night’s sleep.
The problem is that it is only an extension of the slap. We can’t see that mosquitoes that haven’t been killed will still come to harass in the middle of the night.
And outdoors, this thing is really useless, after all-
Kill one or two, and others later!
Mosquito repellent
Useful. But whether it can be used or not and how effective it is depend on the composition.
- DEET is an effective anti-mosquito ingredient that can also be used by pregnant and lactating women. If the concentration is appropriate, it can also be used by babies over 2 months old. Mosquito repellent ester/imonin, ecaredin and lemon eucalyptus leaf oil have also been proved to be effective anti-mosquito ingredients, and attention should be paid to the instructions when selecting them.
It is important to remind everyone that what has always been advertised as [pure natural plant essence]LemonEucalyptus oil is forbidden for babies under 3 years old. However, children under 12 years old are not allowed to use mosquito repellent with a concentration of DEET of more than 30%.
As for other [natural plant extract] ingredients, even if the effective duration is too short, one must be careful that unscrupulous merchants secretly add other mosquito repellent ingredients to ensure the [effect], which is harmful.
Therefore, it must be good for everyone not to see [natural] [plant essence].
Toilet water
Only [mosquito repellent toilet water] has a little use.
Don’t think that mosquitoes don’t like what people smell like. Essential balm and toilet water may have a little [antipruritic] effect, but don’t expect too much to repel mosquitoes.
Vitamin B
It doesn’t work.
Some people say that taking vitamin B can prevent mosquitoes, but unfortunately there is no basis for this.
Mosquitoes like the smell of human sweat and the heat they emit. Vitamin B, which smells [a little smelly], cannot stop them at all.
Mosquito-repellent incense
Let’s divide it into coil mosquito-repellent incense, electric mosquito-repellent incense and liquid mosquito-
1. Disc mosquito-repellent incense
Useful, please buy regular products.
The mosquito repellent ingredient of the disc mosquito-repellent incense is pyrethroid, which protects the body with smoke. Mosquitoes are difficult to find you, but it is also you who smoke (it is recommended to buy smokeless type).
Some inferior mosquito-repellent incense is added with highly toxic substances such as [DDT] [666], which can really fumigate people, so we must buy qualified products.
2. Electric mosquito-repellent incense
Useful, pay attention to ventilation, the room is not too big.
The effective ingredients of electric mosquito-repellent incense sheets and liquid mosquito-repellent incense are pyrethroids, which can repel mosquitoes, but some studies believe that the mosquito-repellent effect in rooms over 15 square meters will be significantly reduced.
Electric mosquito-repellent incense is slightly toxic. Remember to wash it off after touching your hands. If you are accidentally eaten by children, you should go to the hospital immediately and don’t induce vomiting. When using these two products, remember to press a seam on the doors and windows.
Mosquito net
Useful, pay attention to mending holes.
Especially for babies within 3 months, mosquito nets are the safest and most effective anti-mosquito measure.
Just be careful not to hide mosquitoes in mosquito nets.
If you feel stuffy covering mosquito nets, liquid mosquito-repellent incense may be more suitable for you.
Mobile App
It doesn’t work.
The so-called “ultrasonic mobile phone anti-mosquito App” is really useless, flashing is useless, vibrating is useless, mosquitoes cannot see or hear it, and their love for delicious blood will not be reduced.
If you don’t believe me, try it.
Mosquito killing magnet
This is a massacre… … …
Mosquito killing magnetic field is a kind of machine that is placed outdoors, attracts mosquitoes by releasing carbon dioxide and bait, and then sucks mosquitoes into cages. It is not a new thing. Literature has evaluated its effectiveness more than 10 years ago.
However, a 2003 study found that nearly half of the insects it caught would not bite. After injuring so many small flying insects by mistake, the ecological balance nearby will inevitably be affected.
How can there be such exaggeration, not just kill some bugs?
Well, let’s assume that it can only kill [some flying insects], which is still not effective in preventing mosquitoes and can only reduce the number of some mosquitoes.
This style of work [would rather kill 3,000 by mistake than let one go] is not suitable for us.
In fact, to reduce the number of mosquitoes on a large scale, one of the more valuable things is to clean up the sewage in residential areas so that mosquitoes will lose room to reproduce.
Let’s move.
