First of all, know that in English we speak of "repellant bug" (insect scrap), that mosquito says "mosquitoe" and ticks says "ticks".The stores will sell you everything and anything, and not necessarily things adapted to the legendary animosity of mosquitoes from the southern United States.Better not to skimp on the means, and take chemical products, including at least 20% of "deet" or "picaridin" (look at the labels).The best aerosols are not necessarily those who have the highest percentage of these products.Note that it is strongly not recommended (or prohibited) to use them on newborns.But the Deet, unlike urban legends, is not bad for health.Most of these products are sold on online purchasing platforms, in supermarkets, drugstores or sports-chasse-chases stores.

For daily uses

Whether you are a pregnant woman fearing the Zika virus, or you leave for a week for a week for a week in swamps, it may be better to use natural products (essential oils + plant spray) than to abuse chemicals.Note also that clothes (t-shirts, jackets, pants, etc.) are sold impregnated with a repellent with insect resistant to dozens of washes, like those of the Craghoppers brand.

Total Home Insect Repellent (par la chaîne de pharmacies CVS)

This is the number 1 spray for the interior of the house or the tent, but it is also effective on you.Contains deet at 30%.

Off Deep Woods VIII

Product perfect for the outside, no wet effect.Contains deet at 25%.Please note, other brand products are less effective than "VIII", but this one is one of the most renowned for the trips in the great outdoors.

Repel Plant Based Lemon Eucalyptus

Completely natural, the lemon and eucalyptus scents of this spray repel mosquitoes.It is renowned a little less effective than chemicals, but at the top of natural sprays (of which a large nobrose are ineffective).

Warning: if you are looking for a "natural" product, make sure that this is the case on the label, because the words "lemon" or "eucalyptus" can just as well refer to the perfume and name to the components.

Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil

Many travelers and users of anti-mosquito products buy ... a bath oil called "Avon Skin So Soft Bath" and coat the body.Particularity: it is not at all sold as a mosquito overhaul ... but it works well (we tested it) (in addition you instantly become bright.Sexy what!).That said, it is better to put it after two hours (other products last longer).Suddenly, the Avon brand has developed a "Bug Guard" product ... which is more expensive and does not have such a good rating as its simple oil for the skin!

The effectiveness of ultrasonic devices that are plugged into an electrical outlet of the house has never been scientifically proven.On the other hand, there are devices like Zevo which, once connected, attract mosquitoes which can no longer take off.Not sure that it is the optimal solution ....But it can't harm.On the other hand, lemongrass is not the most tonic way to fight against insects, especially in the south of the USA."Eucalyptus bracelets", generally have strictly no use, but the French from Para’kito (now sold in the USA) make it essential oils and they are rather well known.

If you have a garden, the first thing to do is locate if you have stagnant waters.A simple puddle can constitute a scourge! There are ultraviolet lamps that attract and grill mosquitoes in the garden.It is not very effective, but, if you use it, do not put yourself between the lamp and the mosquito!The spirals to burn (like Off Coil III) are quite famous (where there are not too many mosquitoes), but it is only for gardens and terraces, not for the interior.Garden stores also sell natural insecticides based on pyrethrum.You can also favor the installation of a permanent anti-mosquito aerosol system.You have discreet metal tubes between plant flights will protect your outdoor living space.In Florida for that you have www.MosquitonixSouthflorida.com.And you can just as well ... Install mosquito nets, plant lemon trees and eucalyptus in your garden, get a "fly swatter" that you will not fail to use when an insect arises on the face of your best friend!

Update: an Florida reader advises to buy the para Kito stick:

The mosquitoes are mainly present in summer (on the east coast of the United States anyway), and they mainly go out at sunrise and sunset.They lay their eggs in clear water, and are therefore present near swamps and streams.In case of significant rains, as is the case in southeast of the USA during the summer, unusually humid areas can thus be created at any time and attract mosquitoes.If you go on shipping, you can get long clothes (even if it is not practical with heat) and clear.And avoid scent!

Apply vinegar or alcohol (no, not beer!), The inside of a banana skin, lavender essential oil, or even, if it is really disturbing, a product "afterBite »Buyed trade.
