Which chemical repellents are the most effective?
1. Mosquito repellent
The role of mosquito repellent is very limited. The mosquito repellent on the market is mainly a plant called geranium. Some researchers have tested the effect of mosquito repellent plants such as Mosquito repellent and mugwort, and found that the mosquitoes in the experimental area are not only not falling on the mosquito repellent grass, but also fly freely in the experimental space.
2. Ultrasonic mosquito repellent
Ultrasonic mosquito repellent uses ultrasonic waves to stimulate the neurons of pests, so as to make the pests uneasy, and achieve the effect of repelling mosquitoes, mice, cockroaches, bed bugs, fleas and other pests. Using variable frequency ultrasound technology, free frequency sweep can be used without manual switching.
3. Mosquito coil/electric mosquito coil
The main components of mosquito coils are pyrethrins or pyrethroids, which can directly kill mosquitoes. No matter which type of mosquito coils, they are slowly released by heating and releasing a certain amount of repellent ingredients to drive away mosquitoes. Although these components can be metabolized after entering the human body, for the sake of prudence, it is recommended to use it half an hour before going to bed and keep the room ventilated.
4. Toilet water
Toilet water itself does not repel mosquitoes. Some toilet waters are added with DEET, which can achieve the effect of repelling mosquitoes. You can apply some at home or when going out. Not recommended for people with allergies and children under 2 years old.
5. Mosquito Repellent Bracelet / Mosquito Repellent Sticker
Most of these products add mosquito repellent ingredients to bracelets or stickers, which have a certain mosquito repellent effect, but the effect is not good. The active ingredients will evaporate over time, so parents remember to replace it in time when using it. It should also be noted that because the bracelet and stickers are in direct contact with the skin, there is a certain risk of rashes in long-term use, so it is recommended to use them as little as possible.
6. Mosquito repellent/anti-mosquito lotion
Mosquito repellents are also very effective mosquito repellants and can be applied directly to the skin. But be careful to buy a mosquito repellent for children, try it on the child in a small area first, make sure there is no allergic reaction, and then apply it to the TA. Also, don’t use mosquito repellant if your baby has cuts or rashes on their skin.
