Find mosquito in the room: the best tips and tricks

If you want to find a mosquito in the room so that you finally don't hear a whir at night and wake up in the morning without mosquito bites, we have put together a few effective tips for you.

Tips & Tricks: How to find the mosquito in the room

If there is a mosquito in the room, it may take some patience to find it. So when you fight mosquitoes by hand, you should keep the following in mind.

• Lie in wait when it is dark and switch on a lamp. As soon as you spot a mosquito, see where it goes. Then hit quickly and effectively with a tea towel, a fly swatter or an electric fly swatter.
• You can also control the mosquito with vermin spray. However, this can be dangerous for young children and pets.
• A mosquito plug is also dangerous for children and pets, but is otherwise effective.
• An ultrasonic pest control, on the other hand, is environmentally friendly and completely harmless for the entire household. The high pitched sound that the device emits repels the mosquitoes.
• By the way, you can even drive away mosquitoes with high-frequency music. The journal "Acta Tropica" found that mosquitoes attack your victim much later when you hear, for example, "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" from Skrillex!
• Another natural mosquito trap is a carnivorous plant.

Prevent mosquitoes: the most effective methods

If you have successfully repelled the mosquitos, it is best to ensure that the next plague of insects is not just around the corner.

• The most effective way to ensure that mosquitoes and other insects do not find their way into your home is with fly screens in front of the windows. These can be installed in door and window frames both with and without drilling.
• In addition, certain smells naturally keep mosquitoes away. For example, you can use lavender to repel spiders and other animals in addition to mosquitoes.
• Other plants and spices also spread a smell that mosquitoes do not like to perceive and prefer to stay away. These include mint, cinnamon, cloves and eucalyptus.
• It is also very effective to use glowing sage leaves to repel mosquitoes.
