<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" >, black technology anti-mosquito artifact - ultraviolet anti-mosquito lamp</h1>
Totally ineffective!
It sounds pretty awesome, but the truth is:
Ultraviolet anti-mosquito lamps are all non-biting mosquitoes - rocking mosquitoes. The mosquito family has a large lineage, and the mosquito belongs to the family Ofopteridae, which has a simple and popular English name:
non-biting midges
Pick up four or six levels and we review it: prefix "non" = no, "biting" = bite.
See, mosquitoes don't bite, they like to multiply in dense lakes, because their mouths are not good, they can't suck blood, and adults don't spread diseases after they do.
Therefore, the anti-mosquito lamp extinguished a loneliness.

Real blood-sucking mosquitoes, such as Culex pale, Anopheles p. chinensis, Aedes albopictus... How can such a mosquito that pretends to be dead during the day and is active at night and specializes in biting people, like ultraviolet rays?
In addition, friends who love beauty, during the day you spend a lot of money on the face of ultraviolet rays, and at night turn on the anti-mosquito lamp to find ultraviolet rays, which can cost both electricity and skin!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="108" >2, mosquito repellent grass, mosquito repellent sound wave, garlic</h1>
None of it works!
Mosquito repellent grass: This plant is said to be a mosquito repellent grass that is cultivated by Dutch geneticist Dick who introduced the citronell in lemongrass by introducing citronella aldehyde from lemongrass native to Africa.

Don't believe you try.

Mosquito coils: It is useful, but it not only smokes mosquitoes, but also smokes you. Don't you remember when you were a child, when you lit a mosquito coil, the tears in your eyes were smoked?
