Tips to Get Rid of Mosquitoes
Use Mosquito Swatter: Mosquito swatter is very effective in killing mosquitoes. It is very cheap and convenient to use. Once you purchase the sweater, you can use it for months or years (if your mosquito swatter is of good quality). The only thing you need is to charge it properly so that mosquitoes coming in its contact could be killed easily and instantly. It is easy to swing and kill mosquitoes visible around your area. The only demerit of mosquito swatter is that it becomes useless when you are sleeping and there is no one to kill mosquitoes with the swatter. It is also inconvenient to kill mosquitoes which fly under your bed, table, etc. and if you try to kill them, there is a risk of damage to the swatter.
Use Natural Deterrents: Some oils are effective in scaring off mosquitoes such as castor oil, cinnamon oil, citronella oil etc. Eucalyptus oil is also used as mosquito repellent. You can try to get rid of mosquitoes by applying any of these oils on your skin.
Prepare Mosquito Repellent At Home: You can also prepare mosquito repellent at home to get rid of mosquitoes. It is very simple to prepare mosquito repellent at home. Mix some essential oil in a bowl containing some water. Heat the bowl gently by burning a candle (Do not give too much heat). The heat of the candle will allow the oils to evaporate which will act as mosquito repellent. It can create 2-3 meter radius of mosquito free zone. Unlike mosquito swatters, this process is effective also when you are sleeping.
