In 2024, Mosquito season will start three to four weeks earlier than now. Home remedies can keep the bloodsuckers away.
The smell of lavender, mint, lemon balm, thyme, basil and rosemary are also said to be helpful. Despite medication and control strategies, none of the infectious diseases associated with mosquitoes are under control, according to the National Expert Commission on Mosquitoes. These include, for example, yellow fever and malaria. If you have a garden, you should cover rain barrels and clean gutters regularly. A fan causes wind and makes it difficult for mosquitoes to orient themselves to the smell of sweat. According to a study in the journal “Current Biology”, this has an irresistible effect on the animals. If the mosquitoes bother you badly, you can use a heavier remedy and light incense bundles with sage. The Japanese bush mosquito and the Asian tiger mosquito are increasingly spreading in Germany. They are also bringing with them more dangerous diseases.
