On Malaria Day learn How to get rid of Mozzies
| 11 Sep 2024
With the pitter-patter of summer rain comes a not-so-welcome guest: the dreaded mosquito. Celebrating Malaria (Awareness) Day on April 25th is a stark reminder of the dangers these tiny insects pose. A single bite can transmit not just malaria, but also diseases like dengue and chikungunya, posing a serious threat to our health, especially for infants, toddlers, and even our beloved pets.
There are numerous mosquito repellents available in the market, including popular brands like Godrej and Mortein. However, when choosing a mosquito repellent in India, it is essential to pick one that is free from harmful chemicals like DEET, Picaridin, and Permethrin. These chemicals can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in people, especially those with sensitive skin.
If you're looking for natural mosquito protection, it's best to opt for repellents that are made from natural ingredients. So, let's explore some of the best mosquito repellent sprays available that are free from harmful chemicals and safe for use on all skin types.
Organic mosquito repellent options
- Repellent Sprays: Deter insects with a homemade spray made from diluted essential oils like citronella, eucalyptus, lemongrass, or tuberose.
- Plant Power: Surround your home with a fragrant shield! Citronella plants, lemongrass, and even tulsi (holy basil) are natural mosquito repellents.
- Essential Oil Diffusers: Breathe easily and keep mosquitoes at bay with a diffuser releasing the essential oils mentioned above.
- Natural Incense Sticks: Skip harmful chemicals and smoke by opting for mosquito-repellent incense sticks made with Vetiver oil or other essential oils. For example, Phool incense sticks are bamboo-free and smokeless.
Beyond Repellents: Winning the War on Mosquitoes
But there's more to the fight than just repelling these buzzing foes. Here are some additional tips for creating a mosquito-free zone:
- Eliminate Mosquito Breeding Grounds: Mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnant water. Empty and scrub any containers that hold water around your house, like old tires, flower pots, and clogged gutters.
- Dress Smart: Wear loose-fitting, long-sleeved clothing made from breathable fabrics when venturing outdoors. Opt for lighter colors, as mosquitoes are more attracted to darker shades.
- Time Your Activities: Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk. Schedule outdoor activities during the day or take extra precautions during these peak times.
- Fix those Screens: Ensure your doors and windows have proper screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home. Even a small tear can be an open invitation!
- Embrace the Breeze: Keep those ceiling fans whirring! Mosquitoes are weak flyers, and a good breeze can help deter them.
