Summer is a time for relaxation and joy, but unfortunately, warm days also bring unwanted guests - mosquitoes. Their unpleasant bites can effectively ruin even the most enjoyable time. Fortunately, there are many products that can protect us from them - mosquito sprays and liquids are products that should definitely be in the equipment of each of us, especially in the summer.
What is a mosquito spray and does it work?
Mosquito spray is used to spray the active substance contained in it to repel mosquitoes. Most often it contains substances such as: DEET, icaridin and IR3535.
All such mosquito sprays are effective, but it also depends on the concentration of the substance in the product, so you should always read the label of the product.
The best mosquito spray - which one to choose?
Choosing the most effective mosquito spray can significantly affect the comfort of spending time outdoors, especially during the period of increased activity of these insects. To make the right decision, it is worth paying attention to a few key factors:
- Active ingredients - mosquito sprays most often contain substances such as: DEET, icaridin and IR3535. DEET is considered the most effective, although it can irritate the skin of some people. Icaridin is less irritating, but slightly less effective. IR3535 has the lowest effectiveness.
- Working time - when choosing a spray, pay attention to the stated protection time. The longer the working time, the less often you will need to apply the product, which is especially important during longer outdoor activities.
- Safety - if you intend to use the spray on children, be sure to check whether the product is intended for their age. Also, make sure that the product's effectiveness and safety have been confirmed by laboratory tests and field tests.
What is a mosquito repellent?
A mosquito repellent is an alternative to a spray that may also contain ingredients such as DEET and provide long-term protection. However, its application is different - areas exposed to bites should be sprayed from a distance. On the face and neck, however, the liquid should be applied directly, i.e. first apply it to the hand and then spread.
There are also liquids for mosquitoes in the form of a concentrated emulsion for dilution with water. They are intended for spraying in places where mosquitoes occur. They cannot be applied directly to the skin. These agents often contain permethrin, which is toxic to cats and aquatic organisms.
