On May 26, according to the national calendar, the holiday of Lucerja Komarnica is celebrated. It is believed that mosquitoes appear on this day, and if there are many insects, then this year there will be many berries and mushrooms. And scientists do not celebrate the holiday, but they say that mosquitoes wake up already when the air temperature rises to 10 degrees Celsius outside. In general, mosquito nets would be long overdue if you hadn't already. And today we will tell you how to prepare a home remedy for mosquitoes that bother peaceful travelers in nature.
The spice is very smelly for mosquitoes, so they do not fly close. Prepare a decoction: 5 g of cloves pour 200 ml of water, bring to a boil. After the broth begins to boil, reduce the fire and cook the broth for another 15 minutes. Then cool the odorous broth and add 1 tbsp. l of alcohol to it. The product is rubbed into the skin and sprayed on clothing, avoiding the area around the mouth and eyes.
Essential oil also effectively repels insects. Tea tree oil is diluted with water or alcohol in a ratio of 1: 3. Then poured into a convenient container and apply the product to the skin and clothing. It is most convenient to do this from a spray gun. This treatment is enough for a small family trip lasting 4-6 hours. There is an opinion that the tool scares away ticks. The disadvantage of this tool is that the oil can remain on the clothes stains.
A tool for those who have already been captured by mosquitoes in nature. To win the battle against the invasion of mosquitoes and other insects, birch bark and tar will be needed. Cut off a piece of birch bark and tar on it. Stick a birch bark with tar on a headdress, and no mosquito will want to get into tar flesh with its proboscis.
Experienced mothers use the tool to protect the youngest family members. Vanillin is mixed with baby cream and smear all exposed areas of the skin with vanilla cream. You can also dilute 2 g of vanillin in 150 ml of water and smear the product on the skin. This is a safe way to protect yourself and your baby in nature if you are sensitive to harsh odors.
Garlic effectively scares away even people. Just enough to chew a couple of cloves of garlic, and you will not want to kiss even a loved one. Mosquitoes, even more so. About the tool told the girl-allergic, on which any bite turns into a huge itchy spot. Now her best friend is a head of garlic.
