Mosquito Home Remedies
Mosquitoes transmit diseases from human to human or animal to another. Viruses or minute parasites trigger these diseases. When a mosquito bites infected humans or animals, the mosquito acquires the virus and then passes it along to another human or animal by biting them. It is imperative to control mosquitoes to avert diseases such as the Zika Virus, Dengue Fever, Malaria, West Nile Virus, Dog Heartworm disease, and Chikungunya virus. Several of these diseases have serious consequences. Try these mosquito home remedies along with contacting a professional pest control team to ensure the health and safety of the whole family.

Lemon Oil and Eucalyptus Oil

Lavender Oil

Mint
Growing mint shrubs in the garden can help keep mosquitoes away.
Tea Tree Oil
An effective oil for many purposes to include repelling mosquitoes. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties ward off infections. Applying this oil on the face and other exposed parts of your body also wards off these pests.
