Repellents in the form of a spray
Aerosol repellents are considered the most common and convenient means of controlling mosquitoes. The spray is sprayed on clothing, as well as on exposed skin. At the same time, a certain amount of the drug remains on the treated surface and drives away insects for several hours. This aerosol contains a special substance DEET and toxic substances. There are also repellents created on the basis of natural amino acids that do not harm humans.
When choosing a repellent spray for children, it is necessary to take into account that the protection for the baby should contain no more than 10% DEET. Such a product can be used to protect a child from mosquitoes only as an exception, and if long-term protection is required, then it is necessary to use non-chemical preparations.
Gels and creams that protect against mosquito bites
Protection in the form of a cream or gel works on the same principle as a spray. The only difference is that creams and gels are not sprayed, but applied to the skin with rubbing movements. For the most part, the main active ingredient in such a product is the same DEET.
Gels and creams protect a person from mosquito bites within four hours. But they are less popular compared to aerosols, since their application takes longer.
Another disadvantage of creams and gels is that they cannot be used if there are diseases or wounds on the skin, dermatitis, or boils. It is not allowed to use this type of repellent even if a woman is pregnant.
Smoke bombs
The principle of operation of these devices is to repel mosquitoes and midges using smoke that is caustic for them, which contains a toxic substance. They can be used both outdoors and indoors. If you use a smoke bomb outdoors, you can sleep peacefully all night without fear of being bitten.
The disadvantage of this method of protection is that the protective effect is observed only in a limited space. If you move some distance from the place where the checker was used, the mosquitoes attack again.
Repellents in the form of spirals
These devices are usually used to protect rooms if the windows are open in the summer. Coils protect well from mosquitoes on the veranda. To activate the spiral, it is set on fire at one end. When burning, smoke that is caustic for insects is released, repelling them. The spiral burns very slowly, so the protection lasts for several hours.
Electric repellers
Special clothing

Special kit clothing is affordable and provides good protection against bites. The disadvantage of this method of protection is that when used in hot weather he is a nuisance.
Fumigators
One of the most popular means for controlling mosquitoes and midges is electric fumigators. They represent special devices, which, under the influence of electric current, distribute substances dangerous to pests in the air. The poison affects nervous system insects and they die.
Most often, two types of insecticides are used in these devices:
- pyrethrins are natural poisons extracted from parts of plants that are not dangerous to humans and animals;
- pyrethroids are synthetic poisons created in industrial conditions.
Electric fumigators come in plate and liquid types.
- The design of the plate fumigator involves the presence of a metal plate on which a special cardboard plate impregnated with the active substance is placed. When heated, the insecticide evaporates. The duration of action of such a plate is on average 8 hours. Therefore, it is necessary to install a new one every night.
- A liquid fumigator uses a special solution placed in a small container. The liquid also evaporates when exposed to heat and kills insects. Such devices are considered more efficient. They can protect against insects for up to 30 square meters space. One bottle is enough for 30 days of use.
