How to fight mosquitoes ?

Summer is just around the corner! And when you think of summer, you think of mosquitoes!

Mosquitoes are present everywhere. Despite their role in ecosystems and in human and animal epidemiology, they are a source of nuisance with their bites that draw our blood. But beware, contrary to what people generally think, it is only the females that bite.

The mosquito is one of the most dangerous insects for the human being since it can bring deadly diseases. Diseases can only be transmitted if the mosquito has previously bitten a person carrying the disease.

The mosquito most known to the public to be dangerous is the tiger mosquito.
Physically, it has black and white stripes all over its body.

The ERADIQ team is happy to share its tips on how to fight the soon-to-arrive mosquito!

First of all, you can install a mosquito net on your windows, doors, and bay windows. This will prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.

Next, you can use essential oils. This is one of the most natural methods to scare away mosquitoes. But you have to be careful with this because it is not recommended to use it if a pregnant woman or a child under 2 years old is present.

There are also plants scented with citronella. These are the most effective in keeping mosquitoes away. There are other plants with a repulsive smell such as geraniums or verbena.

Of course, there are other solutions such as anti-mosquito plugs, building a mosquito trap yourself to install outside or wearing large and thick clothing so that the mosquito’s proboscis does not penetrate the fabric.
