Almost any breeze 바카라 게임 웹사이트� anything above 1 MPH 바카라 게임 웹사이트� makes it very difficult for mosquitoes to fly, says , a mosquito expert and professor of medical entomology at the University of Florida. If you can pick a breezy spot for your summer outing, that can help prevent mosquito bites.

are also a great deterrent, he adds. Just keep the flow of air directed at the lower half of your body; mosquitoes tend to fly very close to the ground to avoid wind, so directing the fan바카라 게임 웹사이트�s force downward will block their approach.

Natural wind or a fan will work much more in your favor than those fancy, ultrasonic devices and apps marketed as mosquito repellants 바카라 게임 웹사이트� some of which claim to mimic the sound of dragonflies.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�They don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t work at all,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Day says.

Just like you, mosquitos crave a meal during certain times of day, says , an entomologist at Michigan State University. And for these critters, it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s often around dusk and dawn.

That바카라 게임 웹사이트�s because the wind typically dissipates as the sun rises and sets, which brings mosquitoes out to feed, Day explains. If you can try to stay inside during these times when the weather is warm, you바카라 게임 웹사이트�ll be able to prevent more than a few mosquito bites.

Adverse reactions to DEET are rare 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and tend to occur only when people swallow or snort it.

When used as directed, DEET is extremely effective, since it blocks a mosquito바카라 게임 웹사이트�s CO2 receoptors, Day says. Still, he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s quick to add: 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Most people don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t understand how to apply it properly.바카라 게임 웹사이트� Fun fact: DEET makes a great , too.

First, you should not spray DEET on your body and clothes like it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s perfume, he stresses. Instead, squirt a little onto your hands and rub it onto your ankles, elbows, wrists, forehead and all the other places where your skin is thin 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and where mosquitoes love to feed.

Also important: Day says a product바카라 게임 웹사이트�s DEET concentration determines how long it will last 바카라 게임 웹사이트� not how well it will work. If you바카라 게임 웹사이트�ll be outside for 90 minutes or less, he says will do the job, and you can always reapply to extend its efficacy (do not go higher than 30%). DEET in lotion or wipe form is also just as effective as a spray and removes the risk of inhaling it.

Finally, don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t waste your money on wearable DEET items, like wristbands or anklets 바카라 게임 웹사이트� they don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t actually prevent mosquito bites, says Day.

If you just can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t with DEET, there are other options that are recommended by the for use in repelling mosquitos, including:

• Para-menthane-diol (PMD)
• 2-undecanone

While all of the above have been found to be effective like DEET, Pereira recommends using picaridin. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�This is something that was developed for the military just like DEET was,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he says. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�It works really well.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

If you바카라 게임 웹사이트�re at the store and you바카라 게임 웹사이트�re not sure if a repellent has these ingredients, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�your safest bet is to look for Environmental Protection Agency approval on the product바카라 게임 웹사이트�s label,바카라 게임 웹사이트� says Dr. Nancy Troyano, a board-certified entomologist with . If it does, it should be effective and safe. You can also search products .

This can be easier said than done in the summer, but mosquitos are drawn in by pheromones released in your sweat, says , an entomologist and research scientist at the University of Florida.

This can vary from person to person. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Some people, like me, attract mosquitoes regardless of what they drink, eat or wear,바카라 게임 웹사이트� says Russell. Still, the more you can do to take it easy on the sweating 바카라 게임 웹사이트� especially during peak mosquito hours 바카라 게임 웹사이트� the better.

Mosquitoes can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t penetrate clothing that has a very tight weave, Day says. While cotton and linen typically aren바카라 게임 웹사이트�t great armor against mosquito bites, Day says many synthetic fibers 바카라 게임 웹사이트� particularly high-tech athletic apparel 바카라 게임 웹사이트� tend to be woven tightly enough to keep bugs out. Any garment that offers sun protection will also have a tight enough weave to prevent mosquito bites, especially when you opt for long sleeves and pants.

Mosquitoes also use their vision to search for food sources during the daylight hours. Since they fly very close to the ground, they tend to find targets by looking for things that contrast with the horizon, Day says.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Dark colors stand out, but light colors are less attractive to them,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he adds. Of course, make sure you protect any exposed areas with a repellent if you바카라 게임 웹사이트�re going to be spending time outdoors for a long period of time.

Day says carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary thing mosquitoes search for to identify food sources. And when your heart rate is elevated, your body produces more CO2. From exercise to to eating spicy foods, anything that cranks up your metabolic rate will increase your CO2 production 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and make you irresistible to mosquitoes, Day says. Unfortunately, being overweight or pregnant can also up your CO2 output, he adds.

If you바카라 게임 웹사이트�re outdoors and you know your heart rate will be spiking, make sure you wear protective clothing or apply a repellent to keep bug bites at bay.

There are different types of mosquitos, and the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�mosquitos that we worry about in urban areas are usually ones that are being produced in your own backyard,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Pereira says. Aedes mosquitos, which transmit Zika virus and chikungunya, can easily breed in small containers of water like a birdbath or even water sitting around your plants.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�They can breed in your own yard, and you wouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t necessarily know it,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Pereira says.

Do your best to clear out any standing water to lower the odds that you바카라 게임 웹사이트�ll have lots of mosquitos hanging around your place ready to bite.

This shouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t be your only mosquito-combating strategy, but Pereira says that certain plants may help discourage mosquitos from hovering near your house. Those include things like , lavender, , and .

바카라 게임 웹사이트�If you had enough, it could make a difference in terms of mosquitos inside your property,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he says.

Just keep realistic expectations about what these can and can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t do, Troyano says. While they may help tamp down on the number of mosquitos around your place, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�even planted in large quantities, the potency of these plants would not be enough to keep mosquitoes out of your yard entirely,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she says.

The same goes for citronella candles and oils. While they바카라 게임 웹사이트�re natural insect repellents, Day says they only work if their scent or smoke gets between you and the mosquito. So if you바카라 게임 웹사이트�re lighting tiki torches that sit a few feet off the ground, they won바카라 게임 웹사이트�t do much to prevent mosquito bites, he says.

If you live in an area where the mosquitos are unbearable, it might be worth hiring a professional to come and treat your yard with insecticide, Russell says. This can do a pretty good job of ensuring they won바카라 게임 웹사이트�t come anywhere near your place.

As for mosquito traps? They바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve been souped up with fancy features to attract mosquitoes with special lights, heats or scents. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�There바카라 게임 웹사이트�s no doubt that traps can 바카라 게임 웹사이트� under the right environmental conditions 바카라 게임 웹사이트� capture of a lot of mosquitoes,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Day says.

Realistically, though, you can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t catch them all.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Over the last 30 years, there have been many traps marketed as being able to clear a 1-acre or 5-acre lot,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Day says, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�and it has never been my experience, even with very efficient traps, that they can rid a whole area of mosquitoes.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

A trap in the middle of your backyard will kill mosquitoes that fly close enough to sense its lures, sure, he says, but countless more will come flying into your yard to fill the space they leave behind. Mosquitoes are also adept at telling the difference between a trap and a living, breathing host 바카라 게임 웹사이트� aka you.

This can be tough, but it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s definitely worth a try if mosquitos are terrible in your area. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Any scented perfume, lotion, or soap could potentially attract mosquitoes,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Troyano says.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�If you want to reduce your attractiveness to mosquitoes, avoid scented products in general.바카라 게임 웹사이트�
