When stepping outside:

  1. Wear mosquito repellent:

    Apply a good quality mosquito repellent on uncovered skin areas, especially when stepping out towards the evening. It will repel the mosquitoes from coming near you and keep you protected from its bite for long. You can always opt for a natural product like Odomos. It is made with natural ingredients, is chemical-free; skin friendly; safe for use on children; provide 99.9% protection against mosquito bite for upto 8 hours; and is easy to carry anywhere as it is available in cream, gel, spray & wrist band formats.

  2. Extra protection for kids:

    It is impossible to stop the children from going outside but by taking protective measures we can ensure they stay protected against mosquito bites. Open spaces like parks, school playground or swimming pool often attract mosquitoes in great numbers as they easily get attracted to green & wet places. Always apply a good mosquito repellent cream or gel on their body, make them wear protective clothing and for extra protection, pack a mosquito spray in their schoolbag or playing kit.

  3. Put on protective clothing:

    When stepping out, wear full sleeved shirts, t-shirts and pants to stay protected from mosquitoes’ bite as they can’t bite through most of the fabric.

  4. Wear light coloured clothes:

    Dark colours stand out and attract mosquitoes. To avoid attracting them, wear subtle or light shades of whites, pinks and greens.

Around the house:

  1. Manicure the home garden:

    Mosquitoes easily breed in dark, swamp & covered places. So if you have a garden or lawn in your house, regularly mow and trim the shrubs & plants to avoid mosquitoes from gathering or breeding in the area.

  2. Use herbs & plants:

    Herbs like mint, cloves, anise and citronella and plants like lavender, eucalyptus and cedar among others are known to give out strong aromas that repel mosquitoes and other biting insects.

  3. Avoid going near stagnant water bodies:

    Still or stagnant water is known to be the breeding ground for mosquitoes as they are known to lay their eggs in it. If you have any water body in your house, tip over any source of still water like plant saucers, bird baths, toy pools or buckets kept in the yard when not in use. Clean them & fill them up with fresh water on a regular basis.
