In hot summer, people suffer from sweltering heat and sweltering weather, but also suffer from mosquito harassment. In dealing with mosquitoes with increasingly "combat effectiveness", people have used various "weapons", the most common of which are mosquito coils and spray insecticides. With the improvement of people's quality of life, the requirements for health and environmental protection are getting higher and higher. Therefore, in addition to requiring strong and effective mosquito repellent effects, whether the product is safe and harmless to our health has also become an important factor for consumers before purchasing. This article lists the mainstream mosquito repellent methods on the market. Let me tell you one by one.

Indoor mosquito repellent

1. Purple fluorescent lamp mosquito repellent (mosquito lamp)

There are many ways to use purple fluorescent lamps to repel mosquitoes on the market, and the prices range from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan. They can be seen in homes or restaurants outside. Here is a popular science for everyone: the blood-sucking mosquitoes themselves seek targets through infrared sensing of smells and heat radiated by the human body. Although purple fluorescents also generate heat, they will not become targets at all compared to the heat emitted by the human body. Therefore, the method of mosquito repellent lamp is not very effective for mosquitoes.

2. Mosquito coils

This should be the most widely used mosquito repellent. Mosquito coils themselves contain substances such as dextromethrin and propargyl permethrin, which are burned and then used as aerosols to kill mosquitoes. However, it should be noted that mosquito repellent methods such as mosquito coils will emit obvious odor and smoke products, and mosquito coils may have certain safety hazards due to burning; of course, if you have to use them, you can also light them in advance when there is no one indoors. Mosquito coils should be extinguished after people enter to minimize the impact. We try to choose well-known brands when choosing mosquito coils. In order to increase the mosquito repellent effect of some unscrupulous products, some harmful substances will be added to the products, which will cause great harm to the human body.

3. Electric mosquito swatter

As an electric attack weapon, the electric mosquito swatter is simply the nemesis of mosquitoes, and it is more direct and effective than other mosquito repellent methods. When choosing an electric mosquito swatter, try to choose a charging style for long-term use. In addition, choosing a safety switch can also prevent children from being hit by electricity.

4. Mosquito incense liquid/mosquito incense tablet

Mosquito-repellent liquid and mosquito-repellent incense tablets are actually similar in composition to mosquito-repellent incense, with pyrethrin and the addition of ether and other ingredients. And the mosquito repellent method is volatilized by heating. As long as there is electricity, it can repel mosquitoes for a long time. It is safer and recommended.

Outdoor mosquito repellent

1. Mosquito repellent spray

Here, let's first introduce the main ingredients of most mosquito repellent sprays on the market: DEET, DEET, Picardin (picardin), lemon eucalyptus oil. Among them, DEET is an insecticide, which is irritating to the skin; products containing DEET in many foreign countries are not suitable for babies. And DEET has no permeability, so it is less irritating to the skin and is safer than DEET.

2. Mosquito repellent bracelet

The mosquito repellent bracelet is essentially composed of a silicone ring and a mosquito repellent module. The mosquito repellent module is generally made of natural plant essential oils such as lemongrass, lavender, and clove. Many mosquito repellent bracelets do not contain DEET, and the ingredients are natural The selling point of plant essential oils is marketed and advertised as being specially suitable for children. However, the use of plant essential oils to repel mosquitoes is not the most effective way, and the effect of the mosquito repellent bracelet is not very good, so the mosquito repellent bracelet is not an ideal way to repel mosquitoes.
