The arrival of summer usually has as an almost inevitable consequence the return of the annoying mosquitoes, a type of insect that finds pleasure and food in the suction of our blood, also leaving us with terrible marks on the skin that usually materialize accompanied by strong itching, often almost uncontrollable. There are many techniques to eliminate mosquitoes, from well-known aerosols to the electric diffusers of chemical components that we can buy in any supermarket. However, we can also deal with these pests by using home remedies.

Fight the appearance of mosquitoes through home remedies

• One of the most common and effective home remedies to kill mosquitoes that appear in our homes is vinegar. To use it as a trap, we can pour enough of the product to cover the bottom of a container and then cover it with a kind of transparent plastic with holes. Insects will be attracted to the smell of the vinegar and will enter the container through the holes. However they will be unable to find the exit. Once it has filled up or lost its smell, we must replace the container with another.
• Another hometrickto get rid of mosquito infestations is to put a cup full of sugar or fruit juice, preparing it in the same way that we have explained with vinegar. We can add a small amount of soap to both vinegar and sugary drink; so that mosquitoes get trapped in the liquid once they try to drink it.
• The key to correctly eliminating mosquitoes from our home is to find out the specific area where they appear. Both vegetables and fruits in poor condition are usually an invitation to the appearance of these insects, so we can find an effectivehomeremedy in the correct cleaning of the locations where we have placed these products. As a last solution, we can pour a mixture of cleaning alcohol with water into a bottle and, using a sprayer, shoot at the mosquitoes once we see them appear.
• And if you arrive late, all you have to do is go to a soothing cream or gel for the bite. We recommend Arkopharma’s Urtikium for being 100% natural, plant-based.
