Mosquitoes are annoying and their bites itch something fierce. But, there are some easy steps you can take at home and in the great outdoors to minimize your exposure to the pests. There's a variety of safe and effective topical mosquito repellents to choose from. There are also several good-to-great methods of keeping mosquitoes out of areas such as your entire patio. If you can't repel them all, consider treating your yard to kill as many as possible and prevent their recolonization. Finally, if you do get bitten, there's a host of topical creams and other products that can offer substantial relief.
Concernant le DEET
Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) is among the most well-known ingredients in repellents. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), scientists have yet to see any negative health outcomes associated with topical DEET use. It does smell harsh and feels greasy and pore-clogging. It's also not outlandish to confuse DEET with DDT, a dangerous pesticide that's no longer in use in the United States. However, an expanding body of research illustrates that other chemicals are about as effective and, in some cases, more so than DEET.
Alternatives au DEET
Si vous ne supportez pas l'odeur ou la texture du DEET, il existe d'autres options. Certains utilisent l'extrait d'eucalyptus citronné, car il a une odeur fantastique et est facile à appliquer. Cet extrait contient une substance chimique appelée PMD qui repousse les moustiques avec à peu près la même efficacité que le DEET. Certaines formulations de PMD ont également des effets plus durables.
