An overview of the best mosquito repellents. The best remedies for ticks and mosquitoes, the most effective repellents

Every summer, for which a thousand years, we turn from the kings of nature into a banal food. We, the creators of the hydrogen bomb, are eating some translucent small fry! Isn't this a blow to self-esteem?

Therefore, humanity is fighting a desperate, bloody battle with mosquitoes, but to this day, alas, it is ineffectual. We can only hope that attempts to invent the latest miracle cure will not accidentally enlarge these critters to the size of a dog.

We are very lucky this year. June in most regions turned out to be, so to speak, little snow, and residents of most of the country have not yet wondered which repellents to choose to protect themselves from mosquitoes. As they say, no summer - no questions.

But what to do if heat insidiously and without warning attacked your home? With velvet nights, fragrant aromas of garden herbs, and gentle melodic z-z-z-ringing of the ubiquitous bloodsuckers.

What if the call of nature is stronger than the sense of self-preservation, and you understand that a trip to the forest (to the river, to the dacha, to fishing) is inevitable?

It's time to think about choosing a method of protection.

Sprays

Perhaps the most popular remedy today.

There are two types: water-based and oil-based. Oil is less washed off from the skin, but this can be a tangible advantage in rainy weather: the spray will provide longer protection. But the water spray will allow the skin to breathe.

Chemical sprays are not indicated for small children and pregnant women, oil- consist of natural ingredients, but you have to look, pharmacies do not buy them too often because of the rather high price.

Sprays can be applied directly to the skin, but it is better to spray on clothes or a tent.

The main thing is that when choosing a spray, be sure to read the "Composition" and "Contraindications" sections.

And never never do not use adult mosquito spray for small children, not even a large number of... Such experiments are very dangerous, and may well end in hospitalization.

In favor of sprays says affordable price and a wide selection. The disadvantages include a fairly quick consumption and sometimes not a very pleasant smell.

Sprays are considered the leader in this segment. Off extreme

Creams

Creams differ from sprays more long term exposure and a more accurate place of application. What active substances (those repellents) to look for in the cream: diethyltoluamide (DEET), oxamate, carboxyde, benzoilliperidine, remebide.

The most common is diethyltoluamide. DEET is considered the most effective drug... In addition, the concentration of the active substance is of no small importance.

Write down or memorize:

Ø 10-15% - one and a half hours of protection;
Ø 25-35% - four to five hours, as a bonus, ticks will be untied from you;
Ø 50% - about six hours of protection, but keep in mind this is the maximum concentration allowed.

Baby cream should contain a component IR3535(ethyl butyl acetylaminopropionate) ... It also copes with mosquitoes, but is several times less toxic than diethyltoluamide.

Repellent creams are applied to the skin, but not rubbed into it. If you are a fan of sunbathing in areas with a large concentration of mosquitoes, remember this simple rule: the sun cream is applied first. And only after a quarter of an hour - a repellent.

Essential oils

Oils that have repellent properties include: citronella, lavender, thyme, rosemary, clove, litzea, geranium, basil, eucalyptus.

The most effective is oil citronella, we listed the rest of the oils in order, depending on the strength of the effect on small itchy bloodsuckers.

It is better to apply oil, like perfume, drop by drop - on the wrists, elbows, under the knees: in places where the veins pass close to the skin.

People who are prone to allergic reactions, as well as suffering from respiratory diseases, should use the oil with caution, having previously obtained the advice of their attending physician.

With the help of essential oil, we can at the same time get rid of harmful indoor fumigators in the nursery by replacing them. aroma lamp... Heated lavender oil will not only repel mosquitoes, but will also have a mild calming effect on the little fidget.

Be careful when buying oil. Too much low price may indicate that the oil is diluted. Whereas for the battle with mosquitoes, it is advisable for us to use only pure oil, without impurities.

Protective bracelets

Cheerful, smart, convenient accessory... It is usually made from polymers, plastic, silicone and fabric.

By the type of construction, bracelets are divided into three types: with special impregnation, replaceable cartridges, or a capsule mounted inside.

Bracelets are often purchased to protect young children, as manufacturers claim to be absolutely safe. Some bracelets can even be worn by newborns. And it is better on the ankle, since babies actively nibble and lick their wrists.

As a natural impregnation, citronella, lavender, geranium and mint oils are most often used.

The most popular are Bugstop, Gardex and Bugslock.

To call bracelets a powerful means of protection would be an equally powerful exaggeration. Rather it additional device for complacency. Suitable for walking in a dry forest / park during the day and in combination with other repellents: sprays and creams.

Pros: reusable. Just drop a drop of essential oil, the same lavender or clove on it, and after a walk, always put it in an airtight bag - this way the bracelet will last much longer.

Ultrasonic scarers

The principle of operation is the emission of ultrasonic waves in a certain frequency range.

Most often, two types are sold: a stationary electric one for the home, and a battery-powered keychain for lovers of forests, fields and rivers.

They come in various capacities: with a radius of destruction from one to one hundred (!) Meters. Particularly gifted craftsmen can even assemble a repeller on their own, the schemes are freely available.

The delicacy of the moment, which manufacturers do not like to talk about, is that the purchased device will have to "fluctuate" on one frequency specifically with your mosquitoes. And if he is false, the insects will take revenge.

For reference: more than three hundred species of bloodsucking live on the territory of Russia. Therefore, an effective device in one region will be completely useless in another area. Whether the game is worth the candle is up to you, of course.

Spirals

Quite a popular tool among tourists and owners of private yards. When the coil is ignited, smoke is released, which contains insecticides. The smoke not only kills but also repels insects. It is not recommended to use it indoors, as you understand.

As a disadvantage, you can specify the validity period. Mosquitoes do not bite while the spiral is on. The magic ends with the spiral - so wait for the attack of mosquitoes, and get ready to counterattack with sprays, creams and aerosols. Well, or retreat in disgrace under the shelter of mosquito nets.

Home remedies

Vanilla powder. Mix with body milk or cream. Copes well with mosquitoes, but not very long. Good for a short walk.

Geranium. Natural repellent, repels insects. An armpit pot of geraniums could theoretically be your salvation. And at the same time, and a branded "trick" by which you will be recognized from afar.

Applause. Good old hand claps. Safe, environmentally friendly, develops agility and reaction speed. And most importantly - always with you. With the right amount of exercise, you will leave no chance for mosquitoes.

Summing up

When choosing anti-mosquito products, it is necessary to take into account: personal preferences, health status, age and humidity level in the place of our intended rest.

Do not buy repellents on the go, you should have enough time to read the instructions and carefully check the composition of the preparations.

Never buy adult repellents for children.

Choose several types of insect repellent: cream, essential oil, spray, spiral.

Summer is a hot battle with mosquitoes, and you and I have something to fight for. Therefore, consider buying a supply of repellents an inevitable military expense.

Successful battle, bright victories!

Their scent is extremely unpleasant for mosquitoes. Candles, spiral bracelets are made from natural ingredients. Commonly used oil is citronella, clove, eucalyptus, anise, geranium, tea tree.

The active ingredient in most chemical repellents is diethyltoluamide (DEET). Chemical compound that repels blood-sucking insects, was developed about 80 years ago. Unlike insecticides, it does not kill mosquitoes, but only forces you to stay away from people. The substance belongs to the II class of hazard.

Attention. DEET-based preparations make up 60% of the products that protect against blood-sucking insects. Various manufacturers only change the composition of additional components - fragrances, stabilizers, etc.
