There are several ways to repel or avoid mosquito bites without chemicals. One of them is by installing mosquito screen on the window, using mosquito nets around the bed, cleaning and closing the water reservoir, cleaning the environment that can be used as a breeding ground for mosquitoes, and placing plants that can dispel mosquitoes naturally.

So, the area around a black object will feel warm compared to other areas. This is where mosquito temperature sensors work. Mosquitoes are known to like warm temperatures, and this has been proven since more than one hundred years. That is why mosquitoes like black objects. After learning that mosquitoes are attracted to UV rays and dark colors, you can lure mosquitoes into traps that you make yourself without having to use chemicals.

  • Hit the mosquito manually using both hands
  • Use electric rackets to kill mosquitoes
  • Place insect glue or adhesive near UV light and dark colored objects
