There are even electronic scares in the form of bracelets and trinkets, which promise to keep the mosquito army away from you.

But the more repellents appear on the market,the more people who do not trust "chemistry" are. They believe that it is much safer to create mosquito remedies at home.

But bought in the store dried heads need to brew with boiling water. A glass of boiling water will need five grams of carnations. Well, you'll have to wait about 15 minutes for the broth to cook. Obtained funds from mosquitoes at home better to pour into a bottle, equipped with a sprayer. So broths and solutions are easier to spray on the skin.

A drop of substance must be applied to the lamp, it is better to use special aroma lamps. On the windowsill we will arrange a herbarium of twigs of mint, wormwood, lemon balm. Under the window you need to plant elder or bushes of tomatoes. But the easiest way to buy a mosquito net and install it on the window.
