Every year during the rainy season (from July to November), continuous and humid weather conditions create favorable conditions for mosquitoes to breed and develop, especially the Aedes mosquito, the main cause of dengue fever.
Therefore, it is important to maintain a clean, well-ventilated, and mosquito-free house during this time to prevent diseases.

Apply these natural, safe, and effective long-term methods to protect your family’s health.
1. Plant lemongrass
In addition to preventing bees, cockroaches, and ants from entering your house, planting lemongrass can also effectively repel mosquitoes and other annoying insects.
If you don’t have lemongrass plants at home, you can buy a handful of lemongrass, crush it, and place it in corners of the house, on top of cabinets, on window sills, etc., which will help repel mosquitoes for 1-2 days.

2. Use orange and tangerine peels
After consuming oranges or tangerines, save the peels, dry them, and store them for mosquito repelling.
The fragrant essential oils in orange and tangerine peels are attractive to humans but repulsive to mosquitoes. To repel mosquitoes, simply burn a few dried orange or tangerine peels over a flame.
Although this method only works for a short period, such as a few hours, it also helps make the space in your house more pleasantly fragrant.
3. Burn wormwood
Wormwood is a natural cleanser commonly used to purify the air and kill bacteria. Burning wormwood inside the house can repel insects and mosquitoes.

4. Spray a mixture of chili and garlic
Chili water and garlic are effective insect repellents. The aromatic oil in garlic helps repel mosquitoes effectively.
However, be careful not to spray it on anything edible and avoid contact with your eyes and hands.
5. Install mosquito screens
Installing mosquito screens is an effective measure to prevent mosquitoes from entering the house.
Mosquito screens also allow better air circulation, do not pollute the environment, and do not affect health.

6. Diffuse lemongrass essential oil
Lemongrass essential oil is known as a “miracle remedy” for effectively repelling mosquitoes. Especially in the frequently humid weather conditions, when the space in your house becomes damp, you can use essential oil to help keep your house well-ventilated.
Mosquitoes are very afraid of lemongrass essential oil, so you can use essential oil diffusers to repel mosquitoes for a longer period and make the space in your house more cool, fresh, and fragrant.
Above are some small tips to help you effectively repel mosquitoes without harming your health.
However, it is also important to keep the environment around your house well-ventilated, avoid stagnant water, and prevent dense vegetation that creates a favorable environment for mosquito development.
