Eucalyptus leaves: infused in hot water, their fragrant vapor can be placed near openings.
Chamomile: when gently rubbed on the skin, it is known for its gentleness and soothing properties.
Lavender: mixed with a neutral base, it perfumes the air while providing a pleasant feeling of freshness.
Basil and mint: placed in pots on a windowsill or a patio table, they serve both as decoration and as a natural repellent.
Additional habits to adopt
In addition, adopt a few simple measures: eliminate any standing water around your home, ventilate during the coolest hours (early morning or evening), and choose light-colored clothing as the sun sets. Combined, these details make your environment much less attractive to mosquitoes.
