In summer many people like to sit on their terrace. Most of the time, however, mosquitoes annoy you. Learn how to fight mosquitoes here.
Annoying pests: mosquitoes
Staying in the garden doesn't just have pleasant sides. Especially when it is very warm, a flying problem comes up: mosquitoes! These pests multiply above all in rain barrels in ponds and wherever it is damp. So that you are not tormented by mosquitoes, we have put together a few tips for you on how to combat these annoying little creatures.
Fighting mosquitoes - 3 tips
- Mosquito spray: These sprays are simply applied to the skin and are intended to keep mosquitoes away. Some sprays even care for the skin. To combat mosquitoes indoors, I recommend special insect killers.
- Anti-mosquito candles: they are placed on the table or in flower beds and are intended to prevent mosquitoes from approaching. The smell deters the pests. Incense sticks that can be stuck into the ground are also suitable.
- Various plants offer natural defence, which can be placed in pots on the terrace or planted around the patio. These include eucalyptus, citrus and also scented geraniums, which not only keep mosquitoes away but are also particularly decorative.
But if you pay attention to covered rain barrels and empty coasters right from the start, you won't offer the mosquitoes a breeding place and will have to contend with much less.
