Sister Sky Cedar/Citrus Products assist as
a natural repellent to those blood seeking insects! Don’t let mosquitoes ruin your summer fun, try
our cedar/citrus products today!
Most mosquitoes are active at dawn and dusk
but there are also mosquitoes that seek hosts during the day. You can avoid
being bitten by making sure you: 1) are using a repellent 2) aren't attracting
the pesky insects and 3) avoiding actions that diminish the effectiveness of
the repellent.
A Few Mosquito Attractants:
- Dark clothes and foliage are initial attractants.
- In addition to perfumes, hair products, and scented sunscreens, watch for the subtle floral fragrance from fabric softeners and dryer sheets.
- Mosquitoes are attracted by perspiration because of the chemicals it contains and also because it increases the humidity around your body. Even small amounts of water (e.g., moist plants or mud puddles) will draw mosquitoes. Standing water also allows mosquitoes to reproduce.
Natural Repellents:
Natural products will aide in repelling mosquitoes but they require frequent reapplication (at least every 1 hour) and higher concentrations than DEET. Products that contain multiple repellents tend to be more effective than those containing a single ingredient.
