Mosquitoes are not only biting and annoying
It also transmits more than 80 viruses
According to the World Health Organization
There are more than 700,000 people every year
Died from various diseases transmitted by mosquitoes
So to speak
It is the most inconspicuous "invisible killer"
Be aware
Mosquitoes have been on Earth for more than 100 million years
The dinosaurs are extinct
But it is still tenaciously alive
And
Mosquitoes have also evolved many species
There are currently more than 3,000 species worldwide
Except Iceland
Mosquitoes are present in all other countries
furthermore
Their average lifespan is not long, though
But the ability to reproduce is super strong
A female mosquito can lay 3,000 eggs in a lifetime
And it only needs to be mated once
It is not possible to finally produce eggs
This is also the mosquito can survive for 100 million years
Secret weapons that are still alive and well
In the face of such a dangerous and super-fertile mosquito
How exactly do we get rid of it?
100 ways to drive mosquitoes and kill mosquitoes
Type 1: Clap mosquitoes with bare hands
This is the easiest and most straightforward method
As long as the eyes are fast
The hit rate is not low
You can also work out by the way
Type 2: Mosquito nets
So to speak
This is currently the safest and most effective method of mosquito repellent
Preferred for pregnant women and infants
The premise is that there are no mosquitoes in the mosquito net
Type 3: Electric mosquito beat
The mosquito is electrocuted directly by using an electric current
Practical, convenient and effective
No chemical pollution, safe and environmentally friendly
The most important point is: cool!
Type 4: Anti-mosquito lamp
Produces light, heat that mosquitoes like,
Simulates human respiration and other lures to mosquitoes
Then pair it with wind/electricity
Let the mosquitoes air dry/electrocute to death
The fifth type: create a dry environment
Mosquitoes prefer dark and humid environments
Especially where there is standing water
Ideal for mosquito breeding
So
Remove stagnant water from your home in a timely manner
Frequently change or do not raise hydroponic plants
It can kill mosquitoes in the cradle from the source
6th type: mosquito coil / mosquito coil liquid / mosquito coil tablets
These supplies are mainly passed in the air
Dissemination of pyrethroids
Paralyzes mosquito nerves
Eventually dies
The lethality is so great that mosquitoes have nowhere to hide
7th: Insecticidal aerosol
Not only can it kill mosquitoes
Cockroaches, flies and other pests can be killed together
But pesticides have some toxicity
It is best to evacuate immediately after spraying
Also pay attention to ventilation
Type 8: Repellent Flower Lotion / Repellent Spray / Repellent Liquid
Disturbs the sensory organs of mosquitoes through odors
Let it not find the target
Although not able to kill mosquitoes
But mosquitoes can be repelled
Type 9: Mosquito repellent bracelet/mosquito repellent sticker
Mosquito repellent can only be achieved on a small scale
Places that can't be protected
It will still be bitten by mosquitoes
Type 10: Wind oil essence / cool oil
It can repel mosquitoes and can also relieve itching
But the volatilization is fast, and the effect is not long-lasting
Because it contains menthol, camphor, musk and other ingredients
Not for use by pregnant women and infants
At last
If you are still "sent red envelopes" by mosquitoes
You can do this:
1. Ice in the place where the bite is bitten to stop itching;
2. Apply with alkaline solutions, such as soapy water, soap water, diluted ammonia;
3. Apply ointment, such as mometasone furoate cream and hydrocortisone ointment, which can reduce inflammation;
4. When the bite area is relatively large, you can take cetirizine hydrochloride tablets or loratadine tablets to relieve itching.
