6. Dos: Blow Them Away

Any breeze that blows above the speed of 1 mile per hour is capable of stopping mosquitoes from flying. All you need to do is to turn up your fan or the air conditioning system this season and you will have a suitable deterrent. Remember to keep the flow of air towards the lower part of your body because mosquitoes tend to fly very close to the ground as a way of avoiding wind. Directing the fan and airflow towards your legs will stop them from biting you

Mosquito wey even if na your finger touch net while you dey sleep, them go reach like 500 follow that finger from outside.

Mosquitoes wey dey bite anywhere: blokos, underneath the legs, inside ear, etc.

Mosquitoes wey dey bite thru jeans or blanket.

Mosquitoes wey dey still fly under industrial fan.

Mosquitoes wey dey bite till 11am.

Mosquitoes wey you go spray insecticide all of them go gum for ceiling, once smell finish, them come down with more anger.

I no dey take alcohol but na even my blood them love pass..

​It’s that time of the year again when mosquitoes and other insects are available all around us in droves spreading diseases. You should be planning to prevent this from happening by making sure they don’t feast on you. The best way to do this is to understand mosquitoes and know the dos and don’ts that can help repel them and prevent you from getting malaria.

1. Dos: Resist The Urge To Scratch When Bitten By A Mosquito

Scratching the area you were Bitten will only make things worse since doing so will add more to the inflammation. A new study conducted at Temple University suggests that the urge to scratch is subconscious and a way in which our brains conspire against us.

The researchers rubbed an itch-inducing plant on the arms of 10 people with chronic itch or itching that has lasted for more than 6 weeks and 10 healthy people as a contrast. The brain’s of the participants were then scanned when they were allowed to scratch the itch. Both groups showed heightened activity in the reward centers of the brain (the areas that basically encourage us to keep doing what we’re doing) indicating a conspiracy. The conclusion was that it is difficult to ignore those impulses which is why you find it difficult to leave an insect bite alone.

While you may find the urge to scratch irresistible, stay strong. You can instead put some ice on the bite to help reduce the inflammation and the urge to scratch the itch.

2. Dos: Allow Your Heart Breath

Mosquitoes use carbon dioxide (CO2) as a guide when they’re searching and identifying potential food targets. The minute your heart rate goes up and your body produces more carbon dioxide, more insects will likely bite you. Exercises, consuming alcohol and eating spicy foods are among the things that can increase your metabolism and your carbon dioxide production which mosquitoes especially find irresistible.

3. Don’ts: Eating Certain Foods or supplements

Certain foods such as bananas, garlic, or supplements that contain B vitamins can repel mosquitoes but they won’t do much good on the long run.

It’s that time of the year again when mosquitoes and other insects are available all around us in droves spreading diseases. You should be planning to prevent this from happening by making sure they don’t feast on you. The best way to do this is to understand mosquitoes and know the dos and don’ts that can help repel them and prevent you from getting malaria.

4. Dos: Buy Clothes With Tight Weaves

Mosquitoes find it hard to penetrate clothing that are made up of tight weaves. Synthetic fibers that are made as athletic apparels are particularly useful when you’re outdoors and in an area where there would be lots of insects. Cotton and linen however don’t give much protection against them. Outfits that offer protection from the sun will surely have weaves tight enough to block insect bites. will also have a tight enough weave to block bites.

5. Dos: Wear Light Colours

Mosquitoes tend to use their vision to look for good during the daytime when there is light and since they tend to fly close to the ground, they will be on the lookout to find targets that contrast with the horizon. This makes light colours less attractive to them and dark colours more attractive.

6. Dos: Blow Them Away

Any breeze that blows above the speed of 1 mile per hour is capable of stopping mosquitoes from flying. All you need to do is to turn up your fan or the air conditioning system this season and you will have a suitable deterrent.

7. Don’ts: Avoid Spending Money On Coils

Mosquito coils, citronella candles and other oils are natural insect repellants, but are only effective if their smoke or scent are able to get between you and the insects. If you’re lighting coils that are a few feet off the ground, they will do very little to keep the insects at bay as chances are they won’t be effective.

The mosquitoes I saw there are so strange from the one I do see here in Lagos, and they can be so annoying, they are brown in colour and once they land on your body you will think its injection needle that land on you.

Always apply Buchu oil. The oil is a bit expensive so I always say one can opt for an infusion of wild dagga mixed with aloe vera oil. Don't buy the oil but rather, buy a leaf and make the mixture yourself....infusion.

To get rid of insects, use Khakhibos infusions as a house spray

Dear Lautechgossip,

I've read your post. Do you ever think that mosquitoes have families and that their families expect them to come back home with some blood?

I guess not, you only think about yourself.
