How To Get Rid Of Mosquitoes: The problem of dealing with insects and mosquito bites typically arises during the monsoon season. It is essential to take precautions to keep mosquitoes away from your home in light of the impending monsoon. Since mosquitoes are unable to regulate their body temperature, a warmer environment encourages their growth. As a result, there are more mosquitoes in the summer than in the winter.

Frequent mosquito bites can result from several reasons, including your blood type, body temperature, and microorganisms on your skin. But how do you keep them away from your children and homes? Here are some simple ways that you can try to keep mosquitoes and flies away from your home. 

Ways To Get Rid Of Flies And Mosquitoes

Lavender Oil

Mix ten parts witch hazel with a few drops of lavender oil in a spray bottle to deter insects. Give the mixture a good shake and then apply it to your clothes and other areas of the house. 

Burning Bay Leaves

Burning bay leaves in a bowl and letting the aroma fill your house is one of the easiest ways to use them to keep mosquitoes away. But as the leaves burn, keep your windows open to let fresh air into your house.
