Additional Tips to Prevent Mosquito Bites
Alongside using natural repellents, consider these helpful tips to further protect yourself:
-
Wear light-colored, covering clothing: Mosquitoes are drawn to dark colors and exposed skin. Opt for light-colored, long-sleeved shirts and pants to reduce the risk of bites.
-
Avoid going out during peak mosquito hours: Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk. Limiting outdoor activities during these times can help reduce exposure.
-
Avoid sweet perfumes and lotions: Mosquitoes are attracted to sweet, floral scents. Refrain from using scented body products when spending time outdoors.
-
Eliminate standing water: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Regularly empty containers like buckets, flowerpots, or clogged gutters to reduce breeding grounds.
