Mosquito repellent? Soil method

The first plan: "Mummy is here"

Citizen Mr. Yang recently moved to the suburbs. The mosquitoes in the suburbs were fierce and aggressive, which caused him to suffer a lot. This year's preparation work has been done well, but the first night was defeated. That night, he spotted a plate of high-efficiency mosquito coils on the side of the bed and sprayed powerful mosquito repellent around the bed curtain. When he went to bed, he wiped the exposed part of his body with a brand of mosquito repellent water that was said to be effective for mosquito repellence for 7 hours. I heard that mosquitoes taboo on garlic. At dinner, he deliberately ate a few cloves of raw garlic, so that allicin entered the blood, and it was said to be armed into the table. However, the mosquitoes did not eat these sets at all, broke through the layers of defense, and intensified their repeated attacks, all the new weapons failed. In the end, Mr. Yang covered himself with a quilt, wrapped his head in his clothes, only exposed his nose, and slept overnight until dawn. After reading the Chengdu Commercial Daily "Human Mosquito War" series of reports, Mr. Yang immediately called to share his experience: "It is best to arm yourself into a 'mummy'! Although the method is stupid, the effect is excellent!"

The second measure: "Onion Great Use"

A small onion has recently become Li Ming's favorite.

Not long ago, Li Mingzheng was sitting in front of the computer writing articles, and mosquitoes were flying around in front of his eyes. Suddenly, a large bag was raised on his right arm. This was the result of a mosquito attack. He found toilet water and applied it to the affected area, and it didn't itch in a while. It didn't take long for the mosquito to bite hard at his ankle again. I found Fengyoujing to apply on the affected area, and it was very itchy on the knee. He got up and found a mosquito bat, and hit it hard against the flower mosquito. The mosquito didn't hit it. Instead, he cracked the glass on the writing desk. It was his wife who brought a plate of chopped onions and successfully dispelled the mosquitoes.

Li Ming called the newspaper hotline: "It is recommended that you try onion mosquito repellent. If it doesn't work, you still have to fight!"

The third measure: "Homemade Mosquito Catcher"

Ever since ancient times, the big husband has been afraid of the villain. For the mosquitoes, the citizen Ms. Huang always tolerates it with tolerance, letting it hide, avoiding it. "It doesn't matter how you use it. I just don't like to hit mosquitoes. It's so dirty." I don't know if the mosquitoes are good or bad. Once, Ms. Huang was going to undress before going to bed, mosquitoes buzzed again. Angrily, Ms. Huang threw off her clothes towards the mosquitoes—the mosquitoes disappeared and disappeared for one night! "Can it really be useful?" Ms. Huang made a clever move and made a bag of clothes that she didn't want before. When she was going to sleep at night, she threw it when she saw mosquitoes. After repeated trials, Ms. Huang made several "homemade mosquito traps" in her home, and gave them to friends everywhere, "Everyone said they were very smart and environmentally friendly!"

Mosquito repellent? my story

From wormwood to electric mosquito coil

A 20-year mosquito repellent weapon change experienced after 80s

The 27-year-old white-collar Wang Lan specially recruited mosquitoes, so that when going outing, friends like to play next to her. "It's so nice to have you, the mosquitoes don't bite us." Wang Lan's life is inseparable from childhood to large. Various types of mosquito repellent weapons.

Speaking of mosquito repellent, the earliest lingering in her memory was the smell of burning wormwood. At that time, Wang Lan was only a few years old and returned to his hometown to visit his grandparents every summer vacation. Wang Lan's hometown is beautiful, but there are also a lot of mosquitoes. At the beginning of summer every year, Grandpa went to the field to cut a lot of wormwood, and then made several strands of wormwood into one strand, and weaved three strands into a "twist braid" about two feet long, and then put it on the roof beam to dry. In midsummer, the dried "twist braid" came in handy. Every time before going to bed, Grandpa took one, lit a hanging head, and let wormwood smoke for more than ten minutes. Grandpa said that this smell can drive away mosquitoes. This soil method is quite effective. After smoking, there are really fewer mosquitoes, and then accompanied by the scent of wormwood all over the house, you can sleep well on a hot summer night.

In the grandfather's house, the situation is different again. There was no wormwood in my grandfather's house. It was made of mosquito coils that were quite popular at that time. Every day before going to bed, my grandfather would bring the plate with mosquito coils. The mosquito coil was originally equipped with a small iron frame that can be directly plugged in and ignited. However, Grandpa was reluctant to use it that way, he would usually break it off and light it with iron clips. Mosquito-repellent incense exudes a scent of sandalwood, which Wang Lan likes. She always feels that under the protection of a certain taste, mosquitoes are afraid to commit crimes easily.

Around the age of ten, Wang Lan began to popularize the nebulizer spray, which is almost a must for every family. Mom always put the destroying spirit high, so that she and her younger brother would not have enough access. Every time it is used, it must be the time for the whole family to go out. Mother closed the window tightly, sprayed the insecticide around the house, and then locked the door and left. After returning home, Wang Lan will never forget to count the dead bodies of flies and mosquitoes. On one occasion, she and her brother finally got the chance to play the evil spirits. They found a large fly as the target, and spurted it in a burst of light. Afterwards, the fly struggled a few times and stopped moving. However, afterwards, Wang Lan was scolded by her mother.

When he was in high school, Wang Lan started to live on campus. There are frequent people in and out of the dormitory, and there are naturally many mosquitoes that slip in. Therefore, everyone must have one of the most original mosquito repellent products-mosquito nets. Both toilet water and mosquito repellent water Wanglan are used under different brands. She was also very interested in anti-fly lamps. Seeing a dark purple light in the darkness, the mosquitoes fluttered up and down, and were hung on the grid.

While attending college, Wang Lan saw the electric mosquito-repellent liquid brought by his roommate. The roommate said that this is the latest and most advanced mosquito repellent product and an alternative to mosquito coils. After plugging in the power, the mosquito-repellent incense hardly smelled. Wang Lan, accustomed to judging whether he was sheltered by the taste, doubted its efficacy. However, it turned out that the new product could stand the test, and that night, none of the mosquitoes came. At the same time, there are also electric mosquito coils, the effect is similar to that of mosquito coils, and it is also good. Working now, these two things are still Wang Lan's most commonly used mosquito repellent weapons.
