Guest whywhy Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 Dengue is on the rise. How to avoid getting bitten? Which brand of insect repellent is effective? Are those paste on clothing kind effective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantin30 Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I'm using the mosquito coil. Baygon lavender. 1 dollar only for 10 coils. No acute hazard for normal use. Clothes got abit of smoky smell. Abit similar to the smell when I burn the sage leaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Buy those mosquito repellent which can fight against dengue. Apply it esp if you are at home in the day time and go outdoor. This is what you can do. Also spray baygon at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Aedes mosquito is most active during dawn and dust. Get rid of its breeding ground in stagnant and water ponding in surrounding areas. Citronella or Mosquito plant is a natural insect repellent. Keep this gorgeous plant or apply the oil topically.

Why? Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) On 6/20/2022 at 7:55 PM, mantin30 said: I'm using the mosquito coil. Baygon lavender. 1 dollar only for 10 coils.

In that case, burning sage leaves is preferable to using chemically treated mosquito coils. Sage leaves also aid in clearing out bad energy. You might think about sage burning with lavender buds added. Edited June 23, 2022 by Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosquito coils only 1 dollar per 10 pieces. I also use citronella oil before. Bought from guardian for 2.50 i think. Mosquito coil is still the most economic and effective. Although label said no acute hazards. But long term effects not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is not foolproof. Nothing is foolproof, and some people are more susceptible to mosquito bites too. Avoid going to places likely to have more mosquitoes during dawn and dusk hours too.

Coolbriz Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Can also consider diffusing the following essential oils using an ultrasonic diffuser: 1) Lemon eucalyptus 2) Eucalyptus 3) Cedarwood 4) Citronella 5) Peppermint / Spearmint Dart 1 Quote Be cool, like a breeze...

If unlucky, even the places have not many mosquitoes, but just happen to kena bite by only one mosquitoes and if that mosquitoes has dengue virus, then that's it.

The idea is to diffuse the volatiles indoors so that mosquitos get repelled due to the scent when they enter the house. So yes, whether aircon or non-aircon, it should work.

sgmaven Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Well, we have to do our part, and prevent the breeding of mosquitoes at home, as well as to cover up and use insect repellent. Quote Слава Україні! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
