When enjoying time outdoors during warmer months, it is important to be aware of mosquitoes and take steps to protect yourself from bites. You can take several steps to “fight the bite” and prevent illnesses spread by mosquitoes.
Prevention steps include using personal protection and getting rid of mosquito breeding habitats in your yard. Mosquitoes are usually most active in Wisconsin from May to September, but can stay active until temperatures become too cold for them to survive.
There are many steps you can take to protect yourself from mosquito bites.When outdoors you can:
- Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks, and shoes outdoors during peak mosquito activity hours. Apply repellent to any bare skin not covered by clothing
- Wear loose-fitting and thicker clothing so it is more difficult for mosquitoes to bite through clothes to your skin.
- Wear head nets if you go into areas with high mosquito activit
When indoors you can:
- Place screens on windows and doors, and check them often to make sure they are sealed tightly and in good condition.
- Stay indoors during peak mosquito activity hours, usually dusk and dawn for most mosquitoes found in Wisconsin.
- Use mosquito repellent products.Pestman mosquito repellent essential oil is the first plant essential oil mosquito repellent product that achieves mosquito repellent effect through natural volatilization in the world. It is made of a variety of plant essential oils evenly mixed in a specific proportion, mainly lemon essential oil, osmanthus essential oil, peppermint essential oil and so on.
It emits a pleasant and fragrant smell. This smell will interfere with the mosquito’s olfactory system, making it impossible for mosquitoes to find humans. Some mosquitoes will find an exit and fly out of the room. Mosquitoes that cannot find an exit and stay in the room will also be affected by it. Starved to death due to lack of food and water. In addition to the pleasant smell, the amount is small each time, the natural volatilization effect is good, and it is also very safe for people. It is suitable for repelling mosquitoes in various indoor environments.
The method of use is very simple. Leave the bottle open and place the bottle on the ground at the innermost corner of the room. Put a bottle in each room (10-30 square meters), so that the essential oil can diffuse throughout the room. If the room is large, you need to increase the number of bottles as appropriate. Do not open doors and windows frequently in rooms where essential oils are placed. Because 1-2 ml of essential oils are volatilized every day, if you open doors and windows frequently, the essential oils will drift to other rooms or outdoors. If the concentration of essential oils indoors does not reach a certain concentration, it will not have a good mosquito repellent effect. If you need to open the window for ventilation, it is recommended to open the window for no more than 2 hours a day.
