How To Get Rid Of Mosquitoes?

There is nothing as annoying as those pesky mosquitoes buzzing in your ears day in and day out and even throughout the night, knowing soon there will be fresh red rash on your exposed skin. Not only are these pesky mosquitoes annoying, but also dangerous – causing deadly diseases like dengue and chikungunya, not to forget other diseases like malaria, Japanese encephalitis and yellow fever.

Now is the time to learn how to get rid of mosquitoes:

1. Use indoor repellents throughout the day

This is extremely important, Aedes aegypti mosquito that spreads dengue and chikungunya usually bites in the daytime, hence it is important that you keep the mosquito repellent on throughout the day.

There are many chemical based repellents available in the market – you can choose to use TFT based repellents that are tested safe for use at home. Goodknight mosquito repellents have TFT as an active ingredient and have gone through rigorous testing and quality standards.

2. Use personal mosquito repellent every time you step out of home

Make it a habit to use Goodknight Fabric Roll-On each time you step out of your house. All you need to do is just apply 4 dots of it on your clothes and you are safe from mosquitoes for 8 hours.

3. Ensure there is no breeding space for mosquitoes in your home

• Eliminate standing water in low spots, ditches, gutters and similar areas.
• Empty receptacles that collect water (eg bird feeders, pot plant saucers, old tyres, AC trays).
• Reduce breeding sites by keeping grass mown; avoid indoor plants as much as possible.

4. You can use window screens and bed nets to protect you
