Invest In A Mosquito Net, A Physical Barrier Against Mosquitoes

How to prevent mosquitoes from entering the house?

As its name indicates, the mosquito net is a true natural barrier against mosquitoes. It can be placed on the windows, doors, or around the bed, for example. For greater effectiveness, it is recommended to impregnate it with a natural mosquito repellent. Ideal for protecting yourself and your children from mosquitoes, the mosquito net effectively prevents mosquitoes from entering the house.

Use A Fan To Keep Mosquitoes Away

The simplest ideas are often the most effective.

Mosquitoes fly at an average speed of 2 km per hour, so a slight air current can be enough to keep them away, and a fan can be a good ally for this.

Another advantage of the fan is that it eliminates the odors that attract mosquitoes to your skin by repelling the carbon dioxide that we exhale, which is what allows the different species of mosquitoes to locate us. It is best to place it in its direction and put it in an oscillating position to cover a wide area, without forgetting the legs that we usually wear without covering during the summer.

Burn Coffee Grounds, An Amazing Repellent!

How to drive away mosquitoes and reduce waste?

As surprising as it may seem, coffee is an excellent repellent and a natural anti-mosquito solution that is also zero waste. Collect the coffee grounds and place them in a bowl, plate, or bowl. It is necessary to let them dry completely and then they will be very effective as an ecological repellent against mosquitoes.

To do this, it is enough to burn them with a match; the smoke generated drives away mosquitoes, in a limited area. It is a great eco-friendly alternative to anti-mosquito coils, incense, and candles that have limited effectiveness in space and time, are impregnated with toxic repellents, and are even considered a placebo.

Relieve Bites With Essential Oils

The essential oils of geranium, lemon eucalyptus, and citronella, known for their natural virtues, can repel mosquitoes and relieve bites.

Mainly active indoors, as they are very volatile.
Their effectiveness is, therefore, relative abroad and they are not recommended for certain people, such as young children and pregnant women. A solution to take into account is to reduce the itching of mosquito bites.

Make Your Own Natural Homemade Mosquito Repellent

There are many recipes from Grandma that can be prepared at home.

These homemade anti-mosquito solutions can keep bugs away, such as citronella, a garlic and tea mixture, or cloves in an orange or lemon…

These DIY (Do It Yourself) anti-mosquito techniques are good repellents, but their effectiveness is very limited in time.

Install A House For Bats

Did you know that a bat, harmless to humans, can swallow more than 600 mosquitoes per hour?

This small nocturnal animal is therefore an important ally in the fight against mosquitoes in your home. The European bat, known as the dwarf bat, is a very effective ecological anti-mosquito since it acts as a natural insecticide and regulates the populations of harmful insects.

To do this, nothing could be simpler: install a nesting box for bats at the beginning of spring so that they can stay as soon as they come out of hibernation and thus obtain the services of this formidable mosquito hunter.

Opt For A Citriodiol Spray

Citridiol is a natural ingredient derived from the essential oil of Lemon Eucalyptus.

Citridiol, with its minty smell and cooling power, is a natural repellent against most insects, including mosquitoes, which can be found in most natural insect repellent sprays. If you apply it to yourself or your clothes, it will become completely unpleasant for mosquitoes.

These citriodiol sprays, available in pharmacies, vary in effectiveness according to their composition and their content of p-menthane-3,8-diol (name of the molecule). Warning: although it is of natural origin, this product is not recommended for pregnant women and children under one year of age.

Install A Qista Mosquito Terminal, The Large-scale Natural Solution

What is the most effective method to combat mosquitoes?

Qista has developed a natural solution: the remote-controlled anti-mosquito terminal (BAM). The mosquito terminal allows you to fight mosquitoes on a large scale and attacks only the biting mosquitoes, the female ones, without capturing any other insects.

The efficiency of the Qista anti-mosquito terminal is proven by independent scientific studies and is the most effective on the market today, reducing bites by 88% without any danger to people, animals, or the environment. The principle is simple, the terminal diffuses recycled carbon dioxide that mimics human breathing and emits an olfactory lure that simulates human body odor. The mosquito is thus attracted to the terminal and captured by suction. A Qista biologist accompanies and carries out a personalized and free implantation study for each person who wishes to equip himself with an anti-mosquito terminal.

A single terminal is effective up to 60 meters without obstacles and constitutes a real and almost insurmountable barrier between proliferation areas and areas to be defended, as has been demonstrated in thousands of gardens, schools, tourism professionals, large amusement parks, and other urban centers already equipped by Qista.
