Summer is the best time to relax. Some prefer to spend it in hot countries, others - within the city or in the country. In resorts, as a rule, prices bite, and mosquitoes bite in the native forest or on the river. Protecting yourself from these annoying buzzing insects while outdoors is not so difficult.
Necessary
wheatgrass roots, cinnamon, aniseed, cedar or eucalyptus oil, onions, pine or spruce cones, valerian, juniper, cloves, basil, bird cherry, tobacco, sprays, creams and gels for mosquito repellent
Instructions
Step 1
Mosquitoes are very sensitive to different scents. That is why almost all means designed to protect against bloodsuckers are based on the use of plants that emit unpleasant odors for them.
Step 2
An ordinary weed - wheatgrass, which grows in almost all forest glades, will help to reliably protect yourself from mosquitoes during outdoor recreation. Take a handful of chopped roots of this plant, toss them into a pot, cover with two glasses of water, boil and cool. Wipe off the exposed parts of the body with the resulting broth.
Step 3
They don't like mosquitoes and the smell of cinnamon. Mix a bag of ground cinnamon with a glass of cold water and boil cheesecloth or any other cloth in the resulting solution. Throw the dried material over the headgear or hang around the perimeter of the area you choose to rest.
Step 4
If your backpack contains aniseed, cedarwood, or eucalyptus oil, you can safely use it as a mosquito repellent. Lubricate open areas of the body with it or put a couple of drops into the fire. The specific aroma spread around you or your resting place will scare off annoying insects.
Step 5
If your own peace of mind is more important to you than people's opinions, protect yourself from mosquitoes with the help of onions. Cut the onion in half and lubricate all exposed areas of the body with it. But most likely, the smell emanating from you will scare away not only mosquitoes, but also your friends.
Step 6
In order to protect yourself and your loved ones from mosquitoes, make a fire from spruce or pine cones. Other deterrents include valerian, juniper, cloves, basil, bird cherry and tobacco smoke.
Step 7
There are many special mosquito repellents (creams, sprays, and gels) that can be applied to exposed areas of the body or to clothing. How to use this or that tool is indicated in the instructions attached to it. With the correct use of repellents, no mosquito will interfere with your rest.
