The basic principle of mosquito prevention is that after being bitten by mosquitoes, its saliva toxin will make the skin red, swollen and itchy, not to mention how uncomfortable the baby's delicate skin will be. Besides skin discomfort, the biggest harm of mosquitoes is spreading diseases, such as malaria, dengue fever and Japanese encephalitis. If it is serious, it will even die. You really should be careful! In the face of annoying mosquitoes, how should dad guard against them than mommy?
Point 1. Keeping a dry and humid environment is the easiest way to attract mosquitoes to gather and breed. Mosquitoes also like to lay eggs and breed in still water. Therefore, avoiding stagnant water is the first step to prevent mosquito breeding. Mosquitoes like to hide in the shade. In summer, parents can find that cleaning the shade with a broom will make mosquitoes fly out. Therefore, household items and clean, bright and ventilated environment can reduce the hiding of mosquitoes.
Second, don't give in to avoid invasion. Because mosquitoes invade the house from the outside, screen doors and screens should be installed at the entrance; If it is damaged, it should be repaired immediately. It is also important to close the doors and windows behind you, but it is easy to ignore the main points. Teacher Chen Anqi pointed out that Dad often opened the back door to collect clothes from the back balcony, but forgot to close the door behind him, giving mosquitoes a chance.
In addition, the stairwell of an apartment or building, for example, belongs to a cool place. Teacher Chen Anqi suggested putting a sticker on the door to prevent the inflow of outside air and the invasion of mosquitoes.

Summer bug crisis war! Eliminate mosquitoes? Is there a magic prescription circulating on the Internet? There are many clever ways to drive away mosquitoes on the Internet. What are really effective? Which ones are for reference only? Let's follow Mr. Chen Anqi to crack it!
Methods 1, some plants with strong smell were planted to prevent mosquitoes, such as citronella, basil, rosemary, mint and lavender. Mosquitoes don't like to be near. However, if only one or two plants are placed at the door, their quantity and fragrance are insufficient, which will not have much effect, and the effect of mosquito species corresponding to the smell of various flowers is also different.
It is also possible that improper planting methods make the soil moist and attract more mosquitoes. For example, some parents specially bought anti-mosquito trees to prevent mosquitoes, but used soaked tea leaves as fertilizer for irrigation and scattered them directly in the soil. The soil is too wet and not exposed to the sun, so mosquitoes like it better. In addition, location is also very important. You should try to choose a place where you can bask in the sun, otherwise mosquitoes will still gather.
Method 2, the use of essential oils The use of essential oils is the same as planting. Usually spray some camphor oil, citronella oil or lavender essential oil ... and the smell stays around doors and windows to stop it. You can spray it on the mop for a little while mopping the floor, but the action time and effect are not very good.

Method 3, the use of anti-mosquito products Teacher Chen Anqi pointed out that it is basically not recommended for families with babies to use chemical anti-mosquito or anti-mosquito products to avoid adverse effects; Parents are more at ease when dealing with it in a physical way.
? Mosquito-repellent incense and electric mosquito-repellent incense should be used in a confined space for a period of time when using chemical products such as mosquito-repellent incense and electric mosquito-repellent incense. After the mosquito repellent effect is achieved, open the window for ventilation before entering the activity. Excessive breathing should be avoided to avoid discomfort. If used outdoors, it will be affected by the wind direction, and the effect is not great. Repellent action alone cannot completely kill mosquitoes.
? Mosquito trap lamp is designed according to the phototaxis principle of mosquitoes. When mosquitoes are attracted by light and fly to the mosquito trap lamp, they will be electrocuted because they contact the high-voltage power grid around the lamp. Mosquito catching lamp should be placed in the dark, with a certain distance from the door, so as to avoid attracting mosquitoes from outside the house to fly into the house. The mosquito compensation lamp holder can be raised to increase the scope of attraction.
Teacher Chen Anqi also provided a small coup ── pour a few drops of white vinegar into the mosquito trap box under the mosquito trap lamp to add some sour taste, so that mosquitoes like it more and are attracted by it, thus achieving the effect of catching mosquitoes. In addition, once mosquitoes were caught in the past, the mosquito-catching lamp would make a sound of "ピㄧㄚ", which would easily wake the sleeping baby. However, some mosquito traps are designed with silent inhalation, which can be used as a reference for parents.
For families with babies, it is a safer and more convenient way to let babies fall asleep under mosquito nets.

Natural mosquito-repellent incense dried grapefruit peel is a natural mosquito-repellent incense. Cut the pomelo peel into slender strips and expose it to the sun for 3 ~ 5 days. Teacher Chen Anqi reminded me that the grapefruit skin must be very dry, and it will be broken in one stroke before it can be lit. Because grapefruit peel itself has essential oil, as long as it is lit, the taste will be emitted, and it will smoke after lighting, which is a natural mosquito-repellent incense. But it is not recommended to put grapefruit skin indoors, because it will smoke after being lit. The white endothelium in grapefruit skin should be preserved, which can help combustion and serve as a combustion aid.
Black sesame oil is the bane of black mosquitoes! Taking children out is most afraid of black mosquitoes.

Summer bug crisis war! Silently invading ant children ate snacks and accidentally dropped biscuit crumbs on the ground. Before long, they will see a little ant coming to grab food. As long as there is food, you can see ants; If there is no food at home, ants will not appear. Moreover, ants usually live in hidden places that can't be seen at home: if they live in a suburban home and there is soil and food outside, ants may also climb into the home from the outside.
The basic principle of preventing ants is basically that ants don't have much doubts about the hygiene at home, that is, they won't bring infectious diseases, but once there are too many ants, they feel harassed in their lives. Sometimes you can see on the news that ants crawl into the body or mouth of a sleeping baby; A few months ago, a man was taking a nap at his desk, and ants took the opportunity to climb into his ears. So, how to prevent the invasion of ants at home?
Point 1, denying food and ants food is the most important way to prevent ants from invading their homes. Teacher Chen Anqi suggested that food should be stored in sealed cans, bags and other containers, and should not be exposed at will, so as to cut off the food source of ants. Also pay attention to biscuits, sweets and food scraps. If ants look for them, they will often come to visit them in the future to avoid eating in bed, so as not to attract ants to run to children when leftovers fall.
Second, don't enter the house. Any access holes and gaps in contact with the outside world should be blocked to prevent outside ants from entering the house all the way. Such as: drainage holes, screen doors, cold air pipes, fire pipes, etc. If you live in the suburbs, ants may climb in through the window. Don't spend some time finding the path of ants, and then block the entrance with white glue or silica gel.
