  • 2. Good reflexes

1. Natural repellents

Lemongrass tops the list. I pour a few drops on a cotton ball, in a cup that I place near a window in the bedroom.

Be careful, you don't need to put a lot. Lemongrass is very, very fragrant and in large quantities it can be irritating to the respiratory tract.

Geranium is an excellent natural repellent. It is not for nothing that it is number one in the planters of our homes! So, a small pot of geranium at each window and the mosquitoes won't dare come near!

2. Good reflexes

Light :Mosquitoes are known to travel in flocks at night. Real thugs! They are attracted to light .

So, as soon as you turn on the lights, if you don't have mosquito nets, you close your windows or your shutters.

Smells :They are also attracted to sweet smells . So, if you take a shower in the evening, you avoid all those cosmetics with very pleasant smells but which attract them.

Farewell to the "exotic island scent" shower gel!

Heat :And then, as we know, they are attracted to skins that give off the most heat . The solution ? Me, I found it! My man has a higher temperature than mine, he is being devoured instead of me...

More seriously, if we go to bed calm, relaxed after a lukewarm shower and don't cover up too much, our body temperature shouldn't turn us into a living target for mosquitoes.

With all of this advice, mosquito gangs should seek victims elsewhere for their summer terrorism.
